I like that he doesn’t beat up rich people for money or steal or something, that feels more EVIL. He just grows fruit. Fruit of HATE AND DEATH AND TART SUBTLE FLAVORS!!!
One of the coolest things if you happen to beat Akuma in the arcade is when the end credits are showing with all the characters, usually the one you played will be the last to be shown. But instead of that, the one will be shown is the "kill cam" of how you beat Akuma. It's a nice little touch and incentive for beating him.
@@SuperPeterok Probably not. Z Broly is a sadistic monster who likes to kill people while Akuma is a warrior with a code of honor that while seems strange to most people, doesn't exactly make him evil (despite him bragging as such in some of his win quote, but that's probably because he accessed Satsui no Hado so much, idk). Maybe Super Broly, but we don't know if Akuma will encourage Super Broly to control his rage or let him use said rage to be more powerful so he can have the best fight in his life
Fun fact :akuma isn't mean to kids or women such as Elena from 3rd strike because if her childlike nature,she seems to actually keep akuma calm somehow .
So that is why there are some fanarts of Elena with Akuma together. Those are really charming... But we also need some NSFW art 😈 Edit: I REGRET NOTHING!
That little piece of lore for Akuma is one of my favorite things. He's a demon, fighting and killing for his own dark power but even then he just sells fruit and things to get money for his travels. Shows he desires power but gets it from fighters not murdering random people.
It's another aspect alongside his moral code that makes him my favorite character. He's not evil like bison. He's a dark character, but he doesn't canonically succumb to it which is what I love about him.
@@Jacob1451_Kapnobatai Satsui no Hado is "murderous intent," not necessarily evil. Just like a cat beating a mouse to death. Not really evil, just murderous.
I think it says a lot about his discipline and dedication to fighting. Like, fighting is all he is about. The rest of the world is not in his way, he just seeks challenge in fighters who COULD be like him.
If I recall correctly, the people making the SFII animated movie didn't even know about Akuma until way later in development (because, y'know, he was such a mysterious character) so that's why he only appears as a static background character, because that was the only way they could've added him in the movie at that point, they just painted him on a cel sitting and selling fruit and placed them on a random background.
13:48 This moment right here when I first saw it on Twitter was absolutely priceless, and Max's reaction is practically the cherry on top. "YOU(holds breath and explodes)...FUCKING JESUS CHRIST!!!"
Funny thing about the SFII anime movie appearance is that when it aired on TV or when watched on Fullscreen VHS of the time, he's actually positioned perfectly to be cut out of the frame, making him an even more elusive figure for fans to theorize about. Some fans would see him and swear he was there when they watched it, but when they went looking for him or when telling friends about him, he was no where to be found!
It was only a few years ago when I found out that that was an April Fool’s joke. I miss that era of gaming where you could do rumors and jokes like that. 😅
"you must defeat sheng long to stand a chance" The rumor I'd heard was when Akuma first appeared, people thought he was Sheng Long, Ken and Ryu's supposed master.
I actually experienced the mystique of Akuma after its "era" in Vanilla SF4 Even when you beat the game with everyone there's still 3 character slots. To unlock the rest, you had to play Arcade mode with no continues, get a perfect, and beat Seth with a Super or Ultra and then he'd pop in as a boss and if you beat him, he became playable. That shit was wild.
7:55 There is another way to fight Akuma in Street Fighter alpha without inputing the code to fight Akuma on the first level: get to the final level with 10 super combo finishes and without continuing.
I remember watching Justin's video when he put it out and, even knowing Akuma was supposed to be brutal, I was stunned by how much he absolutely destroyed tourney players. He really lived up to his "I am power made flesh!" quote. And of course this was before health regen in 6, so he'll be even more terrifying now.
I think Shin Akuma in SFA2 was the hardest. They even added a mode in one of the rereleases that lets you skip the method to fight him in arcade and just fight him in thr most dramatic stage in A2.
This reminded me of that one fanart of Chris has a yaoi thing with Piers in RE6 or Luke kissing Jaime... I'm not even joking, this is why the entire Capcom fans keeps asking if Chris Redfield was gay or not... and I don't know how to answer this 🤣
The part of this video where max talks about figuring out enough about the boss fight to feel confident he could eventually win without pure cheese reminds me of when i was going for the Capcom Fighting Collection (2022) achievement for beating every game's arcade mode and how i'd get stuck on hsf2ae or some of the dark stalkers and most of all cyberbots final boss. I spent HOURS stuck on some of these games but only hsf2ae did i HAVE to use pure cheese. I felt super proud of myself when i finally beat cyberbots and pyron through trial and error and practice.
"Akuma on the side of the road, eating oranges" Me and a buddy just happened to notice that while watching. We used to randomly bring it up. "Right but like.. akuma on the side of the road eating oranges though"
*Back in the day for Sega Saturn port of SF Alpha 1:* I took a VHS tape and recorded the Random select. On the VCR you could see the numbers on the seconds dial. I counted them and was able to go back to the game, counting the seconds to when he showed up, and was LUCKILY able to select Akuma & Bison each. I never did that again and always just used the codes.
I love ps1 sfa1, I was blown away by the graphics and music. I loved popping the cd in my cd player and listening to hidden tracks. Sure there were bigger alpha games but this one is still my favorite.
@@KuroNoTennoplus people take the fun out of things with data mining We live in a world of instant gratification these days, nobody enjoys mystique anymore.
WOW!!! You Beat AKUMA On one of the HARDEST Games to Fight Him On Too!! PLUS You Also Took Him Out With Style!! JUST THE WAY Ken Would have Wanted It. (SO GLAD your doing an Akuma LEGACY, SO Awesome!)
That Birdie would turn out to be the only one capable of smackign around Akuma with impunity was NOT what I expected when I started this video. But it amuses me greatly to imagine Birdie as the secret top-tier of the Street Fighter universe, so I'll allow it.
I never actually played Alpha 1 until the Alpha Anthology on PS2. I did play Alpha 2 on the SNES back in the day though. Overall I'd have to say that Cyber Akuma in Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter and Shin Akuma in SVC Chaos are probably one of the most toughest versions.
Honestly i could spend hours and hours watching Max talking about videogames, especially fighting games. His knowledge and experience is something that i admire the most from him.
MAAAAN I have been waiting for Akuma since they announced he's coming to SF6. Seeing that trailer was too hype and I have been on these Akuma legacy vids heavy! Leggo 🔥🔥
It's awesome that in this version of the game, you can go through the game without using a continue (you can lose rounds, unlike Alpha 2) and getting 10 super combo finishes, or just using the code as mentioned.
I think they knew people would want the raging demon if they got to play him, but they didn't want it to be too powerful in case people regularly played him against other players. So they made the input slow so, while it's useless in a vs match, you can fuck around with it in arcade.
I think what's even wilder imo is that, with what's been established as Akuma not holding back with the changes to his moveset when he becomes Shin Akuma, this is still theoretically Akuma holding back
Oh man, I need to stay awake longer, to watch these live! Was not expecting the shout-out!! I will say, as long as you can do standing SPD consistently, it is actually easy. He also gets hit by Birdie's jumping super, and can react to his fireballs with it
I can't wait to pick back up the game I haven't touched since launch week, go straight for Akuma master, and fucking die 1000 deaths in an attempt to learn Akuma.
I'm such a fan I have his Demon sign tattoo'd on my arm for life. Love SF since I was a kid me and my older brother use to play SF 2 on Sega, all the way to SF6 what a journey!
I hope Max talks about the greatest version of Akuma ever made... Street Fighter the Movie the Game Akuma! He was played by Ernie Reyes Sr. Akuma design in SFTMTG was very 90s and I LOVE IT! His fighting stance is actually cool. His theme in the console version is very underrated 🎵 Finally, flame tatsu 🔥 very ahead of the time
I played as Akuma for the very first time in my life thanks to the (pretty impressive) Game Boy Color port of this game. Same stuff : he is only "selectable" via random (like Bison and Dan who also where playable in this port). I still got my cartridge and boot it from time to time. The crazy part is you can also use the Shun Goku Satsu/Raging Demon on GBC using the traditionnal input (LP, LP, forward, LK, HP)
man i saw Max just suffer vs Alpha 1 Akuma as Ken mad respect that he won the fight legit and not with cheese moves although the Stun Punish was a hint of cheese
The fact he flies in and kills your first opponent is so badass. I can’t imagine the hype of doing this accidentally at the height of arcade popularity.
My favorite akuma cameo's were in street fighter 2 V because I bought the box set at Walmart 14 years ago and paused every scene he was in because I'm pretty sure it was every episode.
So what you are saying is, if Akuma reigns supreme in SF6, they will have to add my man Birdie to save the day... I'm all for this! (Great video. Max's pure unfiltered "what the FUCK" had me cackling)
The Shin Gouki i mentioned previously has a stomp instead of the weird aerial lay down and can divekick out of the demon flip (in addition to the janky punch and ol faithful)
There were definitely portable cameras, aka camcorders, you could hold in one hand by 1995, when SF Alpha released in the US. The real issue is that no one was going to carry around a Handicam to a dank, smelly arcade on the off chance someone got lucky and picked Akuma through random select.
I love how Akuma is basically a god but still has to make a living and does so by selling fruit on the street like the image of Akuma walking with a basket to the forest to collect fruit is just really funny to me. There is just something so satisfying about fighting an extremelly hard boss not just in fighting games but in games in general that i just never get tired off and Akuma is no exception.
When I was kid Iand played this for the time on PSOne I actually had to switch the buttons around to be able to do the Raging Demon. If you Jab to L1, Short to R1, and Fierce to Square it makes it soooo much easier in this game.
There's two ways to fight Akuma in Alpha 1 code and normal way To get Akuma you must beat him by fighting him in the "traditional" way (not with the code.) Set the difficulty to level 5 or higher, choose the original color of your character, choose the best of 3 round setting, Finish your opponent with a super at least 8 times and don't at least twice. If you did this all correctly, you'll fight Akuma as your 8th opponent -
Love how the little fact that Akuma sells fruit on the side to pay for his expenses humanizes him that much more
I like that he doesn’t beat up rich people for money or steal or something, that feels more EVIL. He just grows fruit. Fruit of HATE AND DEATH AND TART SUBTLE FLAVORS!!!
What do you mean expenses? He lives in a cave
If Akuma owns a smartphone in SFVI, his only contacts would be Ryu and Elena lmao
@@LukeyMia4 "hey ryu I'm home alone come over and fight"
@goead Still needs money for food and travel. Do you think Akuma just swims across the entire ocean lol?
One of the coolest things if you happen to beat Akuma in the arcade is when the end credits are showing with all the characters, usually the one you played will be the last to be shown. But instead of that, the one will be shown is the "kill cam" of how you beat Akuma. It's a nice little touch and incentive for beating him.

That's the best way I've seen that put
Majin Vegeta ong

I wonder if Akuma and Broly would get along?
@@SuperPeterok Probably not.

Max is killing it with this intro that shows Akuma, Street fighter 6, beating up all the past games that he co-started in with the raging demon.
I agree its sick but im pretty sure thats the sfv raging demon
That's SFV Raging Demon, which is actually the best one imo
Akuma in the intro that Max has is from street fighter 6, probably from SFV mode, he is just using a SFV raging demon for it.
@@kamenrangerzeo8251 No, Akuma looks like that in SFV. One of his alt colours gives him the white hair.
I'm convinced one of his editors, namely Brunty, is the one that did that intro

Set the difficulty to level 5 or higher, choose the original color of your character, choose the best of 3 round setting, Finish your opponent with a super at least 8 times and don't at least twice. If you did this all correctly, you'll fight Akuma as your 8th opponent -
these title card art works are so cool!
7:04 wow that demon is so OD that it went to ads the same frame the demon landed holy
akuma just wants to get higher and higher, he dosen't want to destory the world *sometimes* he just wants to be THE guy
Fighting the SF EX Plus Alpha Akuma was mad fun.
