@@DontKnowDontCare6.9Akuma may have a deep voice, but it's not trying to sound cool, it's more like an old, worn voice. People tend to say he's a villain, but I see it more as the monster of a legend, a myth, a demon that is invoked, because it really does not hurt those who do not deserve it or who are not considered worthy.
@@silveriver9 ik. What I meant is that I saw some videos and people were expecting that the raging demon was going to be shown in a later date or maybe in another video, not on the moveset presentation as they did
Akuma becoming a recluse, training harder than ever in his old age, to the point of becoming feral and sadistic like Oni is such a cool direction to take his character.
Akuma has always been an intimidating character, but this is clearly his scariest yet. A combo between his appearance in SFV, the white hair of Shin Akuma, the physique of Oni, and a good dose of Kage injected into his veins, you've got an absolute beast that makes JP and A.K.I. look positively tame.
@@abusive_kindnessI mean to be fair Ken has more health and now has his dragonlash and a better quick dash. But akuma has so much more utility than Ken so yeah 😅 akuma’s better than Ken
"Ascend the heavens. Embrace the cycle. Become The Demon.' Said with such a calm demeanor that it's kinda chilling & my favorite version of the Shun Goku Satsu
People kenplaining about him is why I dropped him. Akuma is just the cherry on top, "Oh you were mad at me playing Ken before, now you want me to play him instead? Oh I see"
For those who don't know, the move at 2:17, is the actual move that their martial art is named after. Ansatsuken "The assassins fist." They added the clip of Akuma checking his dead victims face as a memorable trophy. The mannerism of a true serial killer. 🔥
I wonder where it'll go from there, there's no way Akuma would willingly train the player instead of killing him, that'd be so out of character... Unless it's a "I sense you have the potential to give me a good battle someday" situation, but he'd definitely say "find the power within yourself"...
It's a retcon, sadly. In Alpha 3 Akuma specifically states that it's "not my fists but your past sins" as he teleports his opponent to Hell where they attacked by demons. The more sins committed, the deadlier the attack. Hence the name Instant Hell Murder. Seeing Akuma just punch his victim repeatedly takes the mystique out of it. 😢
I didn't grow up playing SF but Akuma's finisher with the back symbol showing at the is something I've seen evolve graphically and this time I finally know what happens in the dark!!! Good job saving it for last, Capcom. Outdid themselves here.
The fact that Akuma has become so powerful that he's desperate for a good fight is probably the best way they could've taken his character. I also love the subtle mannerisms he has now, like actually smiling at the possibility that he has a real fight on his hands to the fact that he almost looks sad after killing his opponent, like he either saw too much in them or it was over too quickly. Either way, it feels like the natural next step for a character who is all about getting stronger, no matter the cost, as what do you have left to accomplish once you've reached the top?
He is The True Master of The Fist or dramatically the Demon of Killing Intent (Akuma Satsui No Hado). Plus if you listen to the english version of his Raging Demon it almost sounds like "To Shake the Heavens, and Reach the Summit, Become The Demon" while I'm sure in Japanese it's worded different but the meaning is the same. Akuma wants a fight to prove worthy of his skill and teaching and outside of Ryu or Ken (if Ken gave into the Satsui No Hado) he has no worth while challenge. Especially since neither of his brother's pupils ended up going down his path but come close to this power.
long ago in the past Akuma was consumed by the Satsui no Hado, losing his humanity, but now seems that HE IS THE SATSUI NO HADO, evolved into a complete beast that are ready to destroy everything in his path, the ultimate nemesis of Ryu is back stronger and powerful than ever, undoubtedly a great battle is about to begin.
Good lord, he feels like a boss character even more than ever before now. I mean, come on! His intro on both sides is the fog clearing for a grand reveal!
lol i was thinking about how they would give him the street asthetic like a huge chunk of the characters. all i see is someone who turned everyone in maximum security into his bitch
That was literally the toughest way to introduce him as not even just a character but as a master like do you wish to learn this power? Then remember this pain while making sure your looking directly into his eyes
Man. After almost a year since its release, the style of this game still blows me away. Everything snaps perfectly. Designs, animations, sounds... Just perfect. It feels realistic, yet fantastical enough to make it pop.
1:34 I've never seen Akuma excited about anything and it's a terrifying sight , speaking of the normal level 3 and raging demon are just beautiful he's a monster, and his voice sound so close to the street fighter 4 one! Edit: Yo it's Christopher Guerrero!
0:44 “Enma(閻魔)” means king of hell. 2:40 “一瞬千撃” means “thousand attack in a moment”. “抜山蓋世” means “great enthusiasm”. “鬼哭啾啾“ means “Ghastly sign”. “故豪鬼成” means “so I am 豪鬼(Gouki/this is his name in japan.strong and superior demon)”.
Dude, they not only beefed up Akuma, but we get to see what he does when he uses Raging Demon! Honestly looks more terrifying than the past fade-to-black with the flash of his strikes.
As annoying as he was in tekken 7 they really did a great job with him both as a fighter and his significance to the story. Geese Howard was also so lovingly recreated and equally as annoying. I hope we get more KOF/SF reps in tekken down the road.
@@Aggrofool I mean he looks like he has the makings to be broken af even WITHOUT Drive Rush. It's a safe bet that Akuma is gonna be cracked, they gotta sell the character you know.
My hopes for Akuma in world tour: have him selling oranges outside of his cave, the only way of contacting him is a carrier pigeon, and Elena just casually hanging out because they're besties. PLEASE CAPCOM
Okay so I recently learned the meaning of the text in the raging demon: *Die one thousand deaths* 一瞬千撃: A thousand strikes in the blink of an eye *Usurp the heavens* 抜山蓋世: With the strength to move mountains and the will to spread across the world *Embrace the sorrow* 鬼哭啾啾: The sounds of the dead crying out for vengeance *Become the demon* 故豪鬼成: Therefore, I am Akuma/Gouki
I love the stage. There's a lot of tones in buddhist and zen buddhism where Asura have either broken faces or heads. That statue in the background who I assume Akuma destroyed, just looks so sick. He's an asura himself, a god of war and strife, jealousy, and killer-intent.
There are multiple Asuras in buddhism(at least in theravada school) with different names and power since they used to be an old Gods that got pushed out of heaven by the current Gods.
Yes, for drinking sakra, the sacred drink. Imbibement is correlated to the 'sura. Iddhipada, is a buddhist miracle, to multiply, fly in the air, or swim through land. In this case, multiplication @@joeyawiki3315
Love how Akuma has become much older now and kinda like an old wise master. Just straight to the point brutality, Akuma feels like kratos in a way if he didn’t have a son and was still the ghost of Sparta but much older and matured
From watching this trailer, I think it’s safe to conclude that Akuma is just as awesome as we all expected him to be. My favorite part: seeing what Akuma actually does to his opponent during the Raging Demon. I love the idea that it’s him creating a bunch of shadow clones of himself that all strike his opponent in rapid succession. It’s way cooler than what SFV showed.
I think the best mix of that would be showing the shadow clones and the first few seconds, then as the clones close the distance, that’s when the screen turns black and you see the hit sparks
It definitely looks like Akuma is tapping into his Oni side given all his sadistic smiling like at 1:56. I really like the direction he's taken. Also the voice is just perfection
@@Inaluogh He still looks like akuma, he looks older which he is now lol. Look at how some wrestlers age, they look different from when they were 25 to when they hit 40s.
1:34 oh wow they actually kinda gave Akuma back his fighting stance from Street Fighter Alpha. The classic outfit is definitely SF3 Akuma because of the white hair near his temples
iirc Timeline wise, before 6 it was alpha So it makes sense Edit: CORRECTION it's 3 not alpha, got them mixed up because I wasn't aware alpha was the zero series and thought alpha was suppose to be sf3.
A really cool bit of lore at the start of the video with Akuma performing the Metsu Shoryuken on the trainee. It may look like the Shin Shoryuken, and Akuma may look more like Gouken now, but the actual uppercut during the Shin Shoryuken is always performed with the left hand so it never kills. On the other hand (quite literally in this case), the Metsu Shoryuken's uppercut is always done with the right hand and taps into the Satsui no Hado. That should also say something of how much self-control Akuma has that he never allowed it to consume him entirely and turn him into Oni.
@@aalba308 Akuma has a strict moral code. He doesn't kill anyone who's not evil or clearly weaker than him. If he's using lethal force, it's either to punish evil doers or because he thinks his opponent is worthy and know what they're getting into.
@@tcchip cool story but that hit looked like it would kill an average human and that guy looked pretty average to me. The same hit broke the head off a massive stone statue. Pretty sure that guy died even if Akuma didn’t mean to kill him lol
@@aalba308 well the Shin Shoryuken is the strongest move in Ryu and Gouken's arsenal and it NEVER kills. I'd like to think Akuma/Gouki would pull off the Satsui no Hado counterpart to that and not kill with it just to show how much control he has. Though if you're on the receiving end, you're going to feel like you're dead anyhow. Akuma doesn't kill randomly. Everyone he kills has it coming.
Basically, the raging demon is you being devoured by your own demons. Thousands and thousands, might be more depending on what kind of person you are. And of course, there is no worse demon to do it than Akuma.
Rather, it seems the other way around. The one who USES the Raging Demon is giving into his demons for some sort of ultimate attack. You hear Akuma saying "Ascend the heavens, become the demon" etc. which is likely in reference to himself. It's basically the user overpowering someone with their killing intent it seems
@@Blit-X-TVLive So why would Akuma state to give into the demon & ascend the heavens, if the persons demons lead to their defeat? Where does it state that the Raging Demon is more potent against evil people?
Looks like we now know who Tekken 8's Reina's true sensei is. That raging demon and her rage art is very similar! --Edit: After rewatching it, that Reina rage art-like super is not raging demon! It's just his level 3! After the logo is the real raging demon, which I totally missed!
I see he's learned quite alot from his time fighting Kazuya and Heihachi. Really putting that Shakunetsu into his fists. Can't wait to see the DLC cast's outfit 3 -we better not get wagie akuma-
I haven’t been playing this game but this trailer got me hype. Akuma looks amazing, that teleport command grab looks dope and they killed his new raging demon
Actually when Akuma was introduced in 1994, he was misunderstood to be the master of Ryu and Ken, until it was explained clearly in Alpha 2 that he's the brother of Gouken, the master.
I was thinking they weren’t going to show raging Demon for a second. Glad we actually got to see it.
I thought it might be paid dlc when I didn't see it
I was thinking the same thing for a second. How silly of me.

I was thinking the same thing
Me too, now Tokido’s back and my main’s back

Tokido is Champion next time
I freaking love Akuma’s new voice actor in the game. He sounds brutal and badass!
Capcom really caught us with the last-minute Raging Demon 😂. Well done!
They've also done that when they introduced him in Street Fighter 5
2:41
My hopes for Akuma in world tour: have him selling oranges outside of his cave, the only way of contacting him is a carrier pigeon, and Elena just casually hanging out because they're besties. PLEASE CAPCOM
Elena teaches Akuma about modern technologies, trends & news.
Elena prob helps him edge with her wild ahh grip
@@john_constantine3718that is the wildest comment I’ve seen all day
Your expectations are way too high
@@Arka_Das And he is obsessed with emojis
The sound of his teleport always gives me goosebumps.
Iconic street fighter sound
Okay so I recently learned the meaning of the text in the raging demon:
*Die one thousand deaths*
一瞬千撃: A thousand strikes in the blink of an eye
*Usurp the heavens*
抜山蓋世: With the strength to move mountains and the will to spread across the world
*Embrace the sorrow*
鬼哭啾啾: The sounds of the dead crying out for vengeance
*Become the demon*
故豪鬼成: Therefore, I am Akuma/Gouki
Akuma using teleportation even more than in previous games: "Am I here, or here, or heeere?"
lmaooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
I love the stage. There's a lot of tones in buddhist and zen buddhism where Asura have either broken faces or heads.
That statue in the background who I assume Akuma destroyed, just looks so sick. He's an asura himself, a god of war and strife, jealousy, and killer-intent.
It’s his Alpha 2 stage
I know? lol@@scourge8143
He have destroyed this statue ; look the Akuma *teaser* , this is a prequel of this vidéo.
There are multiple Asuras in buddhism(at least in theravada school) with different names and power since they used to be an old Gods that got pushed out of heaven by the current Gods.
Yes, for drinking sakra, the sacred drink. Imbibement is correlated to the 'sura.
Iddhipada, is a buddhist miracle, to multiply, fly in the air, or swim through land. In this case, multiplication
@@joeyawiki3315
last time I saw Akuma smiling was when he was bowling in Tekken so he must be having a blast here
At 2:46 you can hear a combination of Akuma’s voice and Oni’s voice, saying “be sent to heaven and reach the soul and become the demon”
He says “Usurp the heavens, embrace the sorrow, become the demon.”
@@lanky_danky929to be honest I can’t really hear what he says but I’m pretty sure it’s soul not sorrow
Love how Akuma has become much older now and kinda like an old wise master. Just straight to the point brutality, Akuma feels like kratos in a way if he didn’t have a son and was still the ghost of Sparta but much older and matured
From watching this trailer, I think it’s safe to conclude that Akuma is just as awesome as we all expected him to be.
My favorite part: seeing what Akuma actually does to his opponent during the Raging Demon. I love the idea that it’s him creating a bunch of shadow clones of himself that all strike his opponent in rapid succession. It’s way cooler than what SFV showed.
yeah i liked when sfv showed it a lot and how they showed it but this is definitely cooler. if they mixed the two to me that would be perfect
I think the best mix of that would be showing the shadow clones and the first few seconds, then as the clones close the distance, that’s when the screen turns black and you see the hit sparks
@@adrianwoods2752 agreed that would be sick
@ebbisnar8616 i was gonna say the same thing
I agree.
Tekken: We have a Lydia.
Street Fighter: We have a Akuma.
I'm really hyped for lydia but this trailer was just next level, he looks freakin crazy even by sf standards.
Guilty Gear: hi this is Slayer
@@mothballmouth Hold on, now. We didn't get a gameplay trailer for Lidia yet.
Darkstalkers : We have.......not return
They got tired of everyone saying Akuma looked better in Tekken 7 then his own game. There is no question now lol
Akuma has evolved, Capcom did their homework, they knew exactly what people wanted to see!
It definitely looks like Akuma is tapping into his Oni side given all his sadistic smiling like at 1:56. I really like the direction he's taken. Also the voice is just perfection
Just woke up and saw this in my notifications... I didn't expect such a good trailer
He doesn't even look like a human anymore. More like an ancient beast.
Kaiju level entity
@@Inaluogh He still looks like akuma, he looks older which he is now lol. Look at how some wrestlers age, they look different from when they were 25 to when they hit 40s.
@@Inaluogh he still looks like akuma u just being weird😂😂
Yea he should be the final boss of monster hunter
That's like the point of his character. He is so obsessed with fighting that he's loosing his humanity and becoming a demonic monster.
Naruto: Hey Akuma, how many clones can you make?
Akuma: Yes.
Naruto: akuma, we are the same
Its gotta be a 1000 for the 1000 death
The line before disaster
The escalation in presentation of the Shun Goku Satsu has gotten crazy.
Call it the darth vader phenomenon. Can’t get too upset, everybody’s excited & it is hype as hell
1:34 oh wow they actually kinda gave Akuma back his fighting stance from Street Fighter Alpha.
The classic outfit is definitely SF3 Akuma because of the white hair near his temples
My coworker was describing the trailer to me before I watched it and the description absolutely made me think Alpha 3 Akuma.
iirc
Timeline wise, before 6 it was alpha
So it makes sense
Edit: CORRECTION it's 3 not alpha, got them mixed up because I wasn't aware alpha was the zero series and thought alpha was suppose to be sf3.
@@kanati1133wasn’t it third strike before 6?

I thought third strike was apart of the alpha series.
Or is alpha suppose to be zero?

You can see his smile more when he bowling in Tekken 7
Let's go, Goutetsu!
@@nabi-red akuma smile in snk vs capcom chaos tho.
@@kishaurlanda571 eww not that one lol
I was about to cry until I saw the raging demon at the end,
Thank you capcom
And here I thought the "Raging Demon" couldn't get any better or more visceral. Thank you Capcom for proving me wrong.
I think it looks horrible, personally. They should have named it something else.
A really cool bit of lore at the start of the video with Akuma performing the Metsu Shoryuken on the trainee. It may look like the Shin Shoryuken, and Akuma may look more like Gouken now, but the actual uppercut during the Shin Shoryuken is always performed with the left hand so it never kills. On the other hand (quite literally in this case), the Metsu Shoryuken's uppercut is always done with the right hand and taps into the Satsui no Hado. That should also say something of how much self-control Akuma has that he never allowed it to consume him entirely and turn him into Oni.
And how are we sure that dude didn’t die again?
@@aalba308 Akuma has a strict moral code. He doesn't kill anyone who's not evil or clearly weaker than him. If he's using lethal force, it's either to punish evil doers or because he thinks his opponent is worthy and know what they're getting into.
Great comment 👍
You know your Street Fighter Lore 🤜
@@tcchip cool story but that hit looked like it would kill an average human and that guy looked pretty average to me. The same hit broke the head off a massive stone statue. Pretty sure that guy died even if Akuma didn’t mean to kill him lol
@@aalba308 well the Shin Shoryuken is the strongest move in Ryu and Gouken's arsenal and it NEVER kills. I'd like to think Akuma/Gouki would pull off the Satsui no Hado counterpart to that and not kill with it just to show how much control he has. Though if you're on the receiving end, you're going to feel like you're dead anyhow. Akuma doesn't kill randomly. Everyone he kills has it coming.
1:51 Is that a heckin command grab?!
FADE IN > COMMAND GRAB boutta go CRAZY
Its his Omega SF4 demon command grab. In that mode it costed 2 bars and was activated by pressing throw during the 3 kicks teleport
Acting like you won't get command grabbed
Dude is no one taking about how choatic and badass his theme is cause damn who ever did his theme is a mad man

@@carleffique2687 throw in ganon and i agree
Basically, the raging demon is you being devoured by your own demons. Thousands and thousands, might be more depending on what kind of person you are. And of course, there is no worse demon to do it than Akuma.
Rather, it seems the other way around. The one who USES the Raging Demon is giving into his demons for some sort of ultimate attack. You hear Akuma saying "Ascend the heavens, become the demon" etc. which is likely in reference to himself. It's basically the user overpowering someone with their killing intent it seems
@@Nykandros Lores says the more evil a person is, the more potent the attack.
@@Blit-X-TVLive So why would Akuma state to give into the demon & ascend the heavens, if the persons demons lead to their defeat? Where does it state that the Raging Demon is more potent against evil people?
1 million views in day! The real DLC everybody wanted to see!
Capcom almost had me thinking they weren't going to show raging demon. Damn the animation for it looks amazing.
Bro activated Tsukuyomi for that shit 🤣
Akuma is FURIOUS that Ryu stole his sandals
Besides those 4 Super Arts, Akuma having his OD Goshoryuken end in a Misogi is so badass.
its like no matter how much growth ryu has, akuma grows the same amount and is just destined to be stronger/cooler
And Street fighter 6 is changed forever!!
Looks like we now know who Tekken 8's Reina's true sensei is. That raging demon and her rage art is very similar!
--Edit: After rewatching it, that Reina rage art-like super is not raging demon! It's just his level 3! After the logo is the real raging demon, which I totally missed!
didn’t even notice that. good eye
That's why he was in Tekken 7.
not gonna lie. i wouldn't be surprised if it's revealed that it was that way.
And Akuma real master is Raoh
She Heichi daughter tekken
I see he's learned quite alot from his time fighting Kazuya and Heihachi.
Really putting that Shakunetsu into his fists.
Can't wait to see the DLC cast's outfit 3
-we better not get wagie akuma-
That Reina has a similar rage art only helps to imagine that he trained her before Tekken 8 xD

So are we not gonna talk about how this Man literally has its own Wall crush at 1:41
Akuma look deadly and still got it, imagine being Akuma's student, he'll really give you some hell
Actually when Akuma was introduced in 1994, he was misunderstood to be the master of Ryu and Ken, until it was explained clearly in Alpha 2 that he's the brother of Gouken, the master.
they nailed this character man, keep up the good work and give us another one ( characters & sequels )
