Just FYI, you don't actually need to spam/mash the down+taunt(6 buttons) to get the special taunt. You only need to press down+taunt once at specific timing, which is when Akuma finishes his speech and turn his head away from the camera (just before he starts to get up), when you press it right he won't stand up and instead go to grab his onigiri instead. I know this because i experimented it myself just 2 hours ago. But yeah mashing the down+taunt is easier if you don't get the specific window timing down yet :)
The fact that they added this into the game just increased my respect for the developers by a huge amount. I was literally hoping that akuma would be a "secret" character on the select screen like SF2 HDT. The fact that they satisfied this to any extent shows that they are true fans.
Respect for a gimmick? .. Would of been better to just have 2 versions.. make the shin akuma with. Trade off from the normal one so it's up to the player .. this is lame as hell
Loved that definitely but the devs and fans should let him have demon filp throw for sure at least in Shin Version It doesn’t feel right not having throw ending for the filp Also no mp juggle after low tatsu and back teleport invincibility supposed to bait out moves and now we get smashed on the face
Honestly, probably my favorite explanation for why other characters stand a chance against him. Like, yeah, he’s holding back obviously, but he fights so savagely that it’s hard to imagine him pulling those punches outright.
The fact that they worked in Shin Akuma through a flag via a (very) impractical taunt instead of coding him as a separate character is *genius.* He's technically not banned and accessible at any time, but you'll still never see him in fights for glory nonetheless. That they also snuck in what seems to be an _umeboshi_ in the onigiri is just the (pickled) plum on top.
****edit*** more like live tomorrow morning ive been at it for 16 hours straight and still not done lol yes working on the big patch vid, a bit over halfway done now i think. Will be live later tonight. Really wish they dropped the patch notes earlier as it makes life a lot harder for me, but I got you guys, youll get the vid. Tons of cool changes!
Good to know, I'm looking forward to it and thanks for the good work. Yes, we already know it's going to be good. :D I've only played a little bit today, checking out Akuma and playing a bit with other characters, I'm already familiar with. Maybe Akuma's stage burned out my retinas but I have the feeling the colours got a bit more vibrant with the patch and they did something to the overall controls, inputs "feel" a bit smoother, that's why I tried out characters I'm familiar with, so it's not just Akuma.
Imagine the flex though of an opponent deliberately letting Akuma power up so they make the ensuing beatdown on him more dramatic. Someone's going to try that in a tournament, guaranteed.
Once dan is in the game, this is near certain to happen, Akuma sitting there while dan super-taunts. (Imagine if dan also gets a powerup from that....)
The amount of love put into the Akuma DLC is insane, feels like Akuma's arrival is treated as this really important event and I wouldn't have it any other way. Really excited to see the video on the patch as well, here's hoping I get some of my wishes granted.
I like how they made the special taunt animation so long that you couldn't even get it off after a stun in the corner haha. They wanted to absolutely make sure there was no way to get it unless your opponent plays along.
For those who don't know, the trick is to perform Down taunt once Akuma is about to stand up. So try to press it around the moment he turns his head forward after glancing at the opponent while sitting down.
Maybe if someone sees what your tryna do, theyll give you that respect and let you do it. Its not like you become unbeatable. But its probably never gonna happen in ranked.
I don't know, someone could seriously disrespect their Akuma opponent and let them get it off. That would be epic if it ever happened in a real tournament.
Only way it happens in a real tournament is a mirror match where both players allow eachother to get the taunt in at once. Would be so sick if it happens
Watch: Tournament holders are going to make a rule that says, “you can not let Akuma eat during a match” as if to deter players from doing “the gentleman’s agreement” for Boss Akuma mirror matches.
You don't need to mash, you just have to wait until he turns his head back (he does that after 8-9 seconds, near the end) and press down + taunt, just once.
I freaking got this in an actual match! Started a match with my opponent afk. He came back just in time for my taunt to finish! I lost in the end, but it was worth it!
You will never get this off in a match... But now that I am aware of it. If my opponent randomly has a sit down mid match, and theres enough time to let this play out. imma let them do it.
Well.. that’s because "The great thing about onigiri is that they are highly portable and have a long shelf life. One does not need to be concerned about when and where to eat them, and they require no dishware to serve. Consuming one raises one's muscle glycogen levels, essential for a warrior heading to battle. They are also equipped to satisfy an empty stomach. This is because, as the rice cools down, the starch grows resistant, making it harder to absorb into the body. In other words, it's an easy snack to avoid overeating. It's tasty too." "A single serving of onigiri provides energy, carbohydrates, protein, fat, calcium, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, iron, zinc, and fiber. One can add fillings to include additional sources of nutrients to their liking... In addition to energy sources that fuel the brain and body, it also includes nutrients to help maintain them and build muscle."
Not very useful sure but still just a really cool, fun thing that they didn't have to do at all. Really happy that this game is full of stuff like this, even when it comes to small stuff like Kimberlys super themes
I fully expect a "shin Akuma tournament" to pop up somewhere, with the special rule "all players pick Akuma and do the rice-eating taunt at start of match". Sounds like a lot of silly fun.
I just pictured Jamie VS Akuma matches where both opponents let each other power up to their full potential/meter bars. Maybe even A.K.I matches too...
I wish there was a better way to do this. Like maybe you do a unique Level 3 super input and for the rest of the match you're Shin Akuma or something like that. The effort put unto an Easter Egg is crazy
I'll be honest, I prefer the pillar level 2 over his regular level 2 because it's both more fitting for Akuma I believe, and it's a reference to one of his supers from Third Strike.
Because it *is* one of his supers from Third Strike. If you set the language to japanese, you will hear Akuma downright saying "Kongou Kokuretsuzan", which is the name of the move.
Don't really know why, but Kongou Kokuretsu Zan may actually be my favorite fighting game move ever. I'm guessing it is because of all the lore behind it, a punch to rend the world asunder, the ultimate display of power.
God I LOVE when fighting games add in fun little extra things to characters that will literally never happen in an actual match unless both players agree to it, it really shows that the devs are putting in that little bit of extra effort and it’s so fun to mess around with
Tbh street fighter never gives us these moments I feel like they’re kind of playing in vanilla and aren’t really ones to add Easter eggs or like things to really wow the fans so I was totally not expecting this at all. I literally screamed lol
Tip: Dont need to spam down+All PK. 1) you can assign taunt to a single button (for my controller, RS is my taunt. Some use Select), 2) Press Down+Taunt 30-45ish frames after he lowers his head after commenting and it will initiate Shin.
cant wait to never be able to use this unless im fighting a two year old, why is this locked behind a taunt😭 (the supers, double fireball meterless is kinda cracked)
you don't have to mash the down taunt part until he is almost standing up. technically you only need to input it once, but to guarantee you hit the timing you can mash
Note: You don't have to spam down taunt during back taunt to get it. you press it during and/or after he turns his head away from the other player near the end of back taunt (Tho I'm sure there's people who're already screaming that at you cuz that's how the internet be..)
To have a buy-in from the opponent to let you play as an OP character is really a stroke of genius! Although to do it you basically need to put unlimited time to get it.
It adds depth to his character but you'd have to bait your opponent to cooperate. Kinda like how Vegeta allowed cell to evolve for the sake of a challenge
You dont have to spam, before he stands up or whenever her starts lookkng at the ground you have to press the buttons or taunt while holding down to achieve him eating a rice ball
So let me get this straight: Basically Akuma is not him when he's hungry and sometimes takes a Snickers but instead of calming him down the Snickers makes him more powerful Well that's something that you don't see everyday but sure it's a welcome one and I'm in for it lmao Edit: Also apparently someone posted a vid about activating the Shin Akuma properly and all you need to do is to input Down + Taunt before he stands up on his Back + Taunt
I too cook rice, form it into a ball, carry it around, pick fights, and when I'm in one sit on the floor and expect my opponent to let me eat it so I become ridiculously strong.

So todays the big day with Akuma and the balance patch for Street Fighter 6, so why not something fun? Play as Boss Akuma aka Shin Akuma!
This shows that the developers are true fans, lets just hope this type of creativity carriers over to season 2.
Just FYI, you don't actually need to spam/mash the down+taunt(6 buttons) to get the special taunt.

Thank you very much, mate
You the best
There's a much faster (near instant) way of unlocking...

Would of been better to just have 2 versions.. make the shin akuma with. Trade off from the normal one so it's up to the player .. this is lame as hell
@@kenzilbaptiste2519clogging up the roster is lame, we are past the days where characters are simple reskins. A slot in this game has to be earned
@@kenzilbaptiste2519negative as hell for no reason. Reflect on yourself
Loved that definitely but the devs and fans should let him have demon filp throw for sure at least in Shin Version
It doesn’t feel right not having throw ending for the filp

Akuma mirror match where both of them shift to Shin Akuma at the beginning of the 1st round.
This will be the unwritten rule of playing Akuma mirrors.
Came here specifically to make this commment lol.
im in diamond rn tryna do this but everyone's sweating like shit. like bro let me get the power up
people probably don't know about it yet
Imagine we get an Akuma mirror like this in a tournament...
So it’s canon that Akuma fights on an empty stomach purposely to give his opponents a chance?
You see how lean his muscles are? The dude literally has close to 0% body fat.
He literally is fighting while starved.
I thought this was established most who challenge him he just straight up ignores them and walks off
Honestly, probably my favorite explanation for why other characters stand a chance against him. Like, yeah, he’s holding back obviously, but he fights so savagely that it’s hard to imagine him pulling those punches outright.
He's essentially a karate monk so the self-starvation thing checks out. Dude probably eats just enough to not lose his gains.
I think he sips some MCT oil tho.
Akuma, eat a snack. You're not SHIN when you're hungry.
Underrated comment
“Better?”
Akuma: *stares silently* Messatsu!
Casually messatsu a riceball
@@arpadszabo661 I’m sorry sir but what akuma ate was jelly doughnut it what give him power
Godlike comment 😂
The fact that they worked in Shin Akuma through a flag via a (very) impractical taunt instead of coding him as a separate character is *genius.* He's technically not banned and accessible at any time, but you'll still never see him in fights for glory nonetheless.
That they also snuck in what seems to be an _umeboshi_ in the onigiri is just the (pickled) plum on top.
100% Somebody is Going to get him off this weekend at Combo breaker and it's probably going to be the Akuma Mirror that does it.
@@Cloudstrifehy3hope that akuma players who play mirrors do this haha
Is it possible to get the taunt off after stunning the opponent?
@@sinteleon Not really. Stun lasts a maximum of 4 seconds, or 240 frames.
Akuma's Shin activation taunt takes roughly 30 seconds/1800 frames.
Akuma Oni - default
Akuma Shin - power
Akuma Cyber - speed
Akuma Omega - final
****edit*** more like live tomorrow morning ive been at it for 16 hours straight and still not done lol

Looking forwards to it!
Nice ! Thanks for the work
Good to know, I'm looking forward to it and thanks for the good work. Yes, we already know it's going to be good. :D
I've only played a little bit today, checking out Akuma and playing a bit with other characters, I'm already familiar with.

Appreciate the work that goes into all the visual guides. We'll be there to click whenever it drops. Thanks!
this could probably happen in a mirror match
Nagoriyuki was not kidding about the health benefits of Onigiri, damn
Next Strive update, probably: Nago no longer suffers from HP drain in Blood Rage if he finishes his onigiri taunt.
Bro I fucking WISH strive would Let us unlock boss nago like this!!!!
Imagine the flex though of an opponent deliberately letting Akuma power up so they make the ensuing beatdown on him more dramatic. Someone's going to try that in a tournament, guaranteed.
Once dan is in the game, this is near certain to happen, Akuma sitting there while dan super-taunts. (Imagine if dan also gets a powerup from that....)
@@sinteleon
Evil Dan from an alternate version of his super taunt would be sick af
The amount of love put into the Akuma DLC is insane, feels like Akuma's arrival is treated as this really important event and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Really excited to see the video on the patch as well, here's hoping I get some of my wishes granted.
letting your opponent akuma eat his way to shin is equivalent to goku tossing a senzu bean to cell
Impractical but still cool they included this
I mean duh this would be way to busted
Since I love watching Taunts, this tactical would work against my dumb ass.
Worth it lol
I like how they made the special taunt animation so long that you couldn't even get it off after a stun in the corner haha. They wanted to absolutely make sure there was no way to get it unless your opponent plays along.
This is crazy little detail props to capcom
You don't have to spam btw, just press down taunt once.
For those who don't know, the trick is to perform Down taunt once Akuma is about to stand up. So try to press it around the moment he turns his head forward after glancing at the opponent while sitting down.
@rayplaysgamesrpg7233 what Buttons used for him to eat rice
@@mrsmooth2221 it's back and taunt (which is all buttons at the same time, i have 3 punches on l1 nd 3 kicks on l2, so i just press those 2)
"Magic rice"? Poor dude's just hungry. He's basically a Goku that hasn't eaten yet, and filling his stomach unlocks his potential.
"If I don't eat the rice, the power won't come." -Speedy dub Goku.
You can't spell Shun-Goku-Satsu without Goku
Now we need an alternative voice track for Akuma by Masako Nozawa (while she still can since she's almost 90!).
Maybe if someone sees what your tryna do, theyll give you that respect and let you do it. Its not like you become unbeatable. But its probably never gonna happen in ranked.
Akuma, eat a Snickers bar, you're not yourself when you're hungry.
Is it wild that I read all the patch notes but I’m waiting for my guy video
its gettin there
Rooflemonger's visual guides are way more effective than just reading text so I don't blame you
I don't know, someone could seriously disrespect their Akuma opponent and let them get it off. That would be epic if it ever happened in a real tournament.
Only way it happens in a real tournament is a mirror match where both players allow eachother to get the taunt in at once. Would be so sick if it happens
Akuma human size
Misogi was sorely missed
Akuma looked at John World Tour eating and drinking in the middle of fights and said “bet.”
Watch: Tournament holders are going to make a rule that says, “you can not let Akuma eat during a match” as if to deter players from doing “the gentleman’s agreement” for Boss Akuma mirror matches.
This character is addictive never knew power till I played him.
Shin Akuma has some of the coolest supers ever.
The way to taunt is by pressing all buttons simultaneously...
I know I didn't know so just letting people know
Akuma really learned Geese Howard's Raging Storm. I guess his time in Tekken 7 was well spent.
When I saw the double fireball I started losing my mind. Just god Capcom you mad lads. When I saw Misogi I just died and yelled so loud.
You don't need to mash, you just have to wait until he turns his head back (he does that after 8-9 seconds, near the end) and press down + taunt, just once.
This is the power of proper nutrition.
Only Akuma mirror match will possibly have both active in Shin status.
I freaking got this in an actual match! Started a match with my opponent afk. He came back just in time for my taunt to finish!
I lost in the end, but it was worth it!
Capcom did it, they did the "hey, wait up, don't hit me. I want to try something"
You will never get this off in a match... But now that I am aware of it. If my opponent randomly has a sit down mid match, and theres enough time to let this play out. imma let them do it.
Man, these supers are classic 👌
now I want these to be his lv2
Unwritten world wide law! Akuma mirrors must allow the taunt at match start 😂
Well.. that’s because
"The great thing about onigiri is that they are highly portable and have a long shelf life. One does not need to be concerned about when and where to eat them, and they require no dishware to serve.

I fully expect a "shin Akuma tournament" to pop up somewhere, with the special rule "all players pick Akuma and do the rice-eating taunt at start of match".
Sounds like a lot of silly fun.
I just pictured Jamie VS Akuma matches where both opponents let each other power up to their full potential/meter bars. Maybe even A.K.I matches too...
So Shin Akuma is just Akuma with full stomach. 🤯
Now Akuma mirror matches can be like Jamie drinking to level 4 mirror matches
With M control, you can active it with auto taunt spam. 80% faster than what youre showing
All akuma mirrors must be played in shin akuma mode, this is mandatory.
Thanks for breaking this down for me 💪🏽
I need to see a round start taunt with Akuma sitting and Jamie dancing to his theme in tournament.
The evo match where both akuma mains do taunt will be lit!!!
I wish there was a better way to do this. Like maybe you do a unique Level 3 super input and for the rest of the match you're Shin Akuma or something like that. The effort put unto an Easter Egg is crazy
I mean double fireball alone is quite busted....
Thats.. absolutly insane. I love it.
I'll be honest, I prefer the pillar level 2 over his regular level 2 because it's both more fitting for Akuma I believe, and it's a reference to one of his supers from Third Strike.

People doing it in a casual mirror would be like a way crazier version of Jamie drink & Deejay maracas.
This is actually super sick oh my god
WHO is gonna let him do that long ass taunt lmao 🤣
Nah fr though, ain’t no way unless it’s an afk situation lol!
desk gave us a beautiful video, and now I learn of THIS?!

cant wait to never be able to use this unless im fighting a two year old, why is this locked behind a taunt😭 (the supers, double fireball meterless is kinda cracked)
Because it IS cracked and it's just for fun. Just a fun throwback to his SSF2T days
THIS IS AMAZING!!!
you don't have to mash the down taunt part until he is almost standing up. technically you only need to input it once, but to guarantee you hit the timing you can mash
I used to play as Shin Gouki in Street Fighter Alpha 3. You could customize different buffs for characters too, it was a blast 😂.
They went through adding all those moves for something you will never see in a real match. Kudos Capcom!
This would be the kind of thing that would be hype to see in a final round situation at EVO
I've tried this against the pc. It will not let me do it. I doubt any human will either.
Note: You don't have to spam down taunt during back taunt to get it. you press it during and/or after he turns his head away from the other player near the end of back taunt
(Tho I'm sure there's people who're already screaming that at you cuz that's how the internet be..)
Everyone, just in case you missed it, to do the double Zanku, the input is:
⬇️↙️⬅️ + 2 punch buttons
To make it easier go to control settings and make R3 the taunt button so you can get it on first try because regular taunting is complicated
To have a buy-in from the opponent to let you play as an OP character is really a stroke of genius! Although to do it you basically need to put unlimited time to get it.
It adds depth to his character but you'd have to bait your opponent to cooperate. Kinda like how Vegeta allowed cell to evolve for the sake of a challenge
I miss cheat codes. This is reminiscent to it. LOVE IT.
akuma is one onigiri away from slicing earth into two, awesome detail, capcom.
Akuma Oni - default
Akuma Shin - power
Akuma Cyber - speed
Akuma Omega - final
I really liked how the Devs let us access these moves Shin Akuma can do!
Holy shit. We'll never see this in any official match but goddang it's so cool they even do this!
You dont have to spam, before he stands up or whenever her starts lookkng at the ground you have to press the buttons or taunt while holding down to achieve him eating a rice ball
I sitting here like 50 Cent 😂 just patiently waiting for you Patch Video Rooflemonger 😂 thanx for all the great content bro❤
So let me get this straight: Basically Akuma is not him when he's hungry and sometimes takes a Snickers but instead of calming him down the Snickers makes him more powerful
Well that's something that you don't see everyday but sure it's a welcome one and I'm in for it lmao
Edit: Also apparently someone posted a vid about activating the Shin Akuma properly and all you need to do is to input Down + Taunt before he stands up on his Back + Taunt
I love easter eggs like this
would love to see two akuma players open their match with unlocking mutual shin akuma at some point during sf6
Honestly if I was already winning and my opponent Akuma pulls that on me, I'd just let them. lasjkfhjkashf
Imagine at EVO finals, someone let's you unlock Shin Akuma just to challange him or herself at the big stage
Oh, man.... I'm so happy KKZ found its way back, even if it's behind Shin Akuma. It's damage is a lot lower than I expected, though.
Ooooooh he does have misogi! I always thought that move looked so cool in the cvs games
All you have to do to get the food is down taunt when he turns his head back right before he gets up from his back taunt
Law of Akuma Mirror Matches: ALWAYS go Shin Akuma
I too cook rice, form it into a ball, carry it around, pick fights, and when I'm in one sit on the floor and expect my opponent to let me eat it so I become ridiculously strong.
We need an Akuma mirror in tournament to both activate at the start of match. This is so sick, I'm impressed Capcom.
Yoooo he's like Yoshimitsu in Soul Calibur 5 with unlocking Tekken moves after using Flash as a guard impact
Someone did this to me in casuals in a mirror match to which I was winning btw and I was amazed... Been trying to find out how since. Now I'm here 😅
