I'm not even the biggest Akuma fan, but he looks fantastic. I'm loving the details and aesthetic push he's gotten. Someone on Twitter pointed out that for some moves, his entire face darkens. I love that Capcom is overhauling so many things, that's why I wanna see more SF3 folks, I can only imagine how cool they'll be under this direction!

SGS is now officially described in game as "a myriad of attacks made in a single second"
 
No demons involved, it doesn't do more damage for accumulated sins. It doesn't even implant ki into the body to make it explode like JP.
 
No more speculation. The End!

Cot damn! I miss this thread and the homies.
 
Can't wait for the Akuma quotes.
 
His SFV quotes were underwhelming compared to his SF4 quotes, so hopefully they're much better in SF6.

Same. While I never much cared for Akuma (recognize the impact of him though) his design and animations in this game are amazing. They did a lot to make him more than just ‘stronger shoto’. Just look at his Drive Impact.

In a sign of how little Tekken 7 I actually played, I didn't catch that Akuma's new move comes from Tekken.

Saw a comment in Evil Canadian's Akuma breakdown video.

I noticed that the parable that Udon had translated was a bit wonky and out of order.
 
We all know that Capcom decides to transiterate it as "Die One Thousand Deaths" but Udon tried to be more faithful to what was being written. 
 
一瞬千撃抜山蓋世鬼哭啾啾故 豪鬼成
One thousand instant strikes, with enough power to rend mountains and overshadow the world, the souls of the dead cry out, that which has become a great demon. 
 
 
 

The Akuma blog post is up

For anyone that watched Street Fighter Assasin's Fist. Akuma's level two is essentially what Goutetsu hits him during their fight. A devastating palm strike that sends a surge of ki through his opponents torso. Basically an SnH verison of Gouken's Senkugoshoha (Palm Strike).

The "new" teleport animation is borrowed from SFEX

 
Of course, as I mentioned numerous times the design concept has been borrowed from the manga
 

 
They decided to add the full script to the SGS form Ryu Final

Always happy to see what's left on the cutting room floor. Redhead Aki looks good, but feels like an entirely different character, I love the crazy,  creepy, cute design we got with the snakeskin pants and mushroom hair. Echoing the points about the other characters, but I really dig that 4th Akuma at Peace one.

😍😍

Someone from another forum translated the Japanese text from the right as peaceful Akuma with complete control over the Satsui no Hado .

Street Fighter Masters / Legends / Origins are not canon to the games.
 
Street Fighter 6 comics, specifically the stories written by Nakayama, are canon to the games.

Here's the image. I didn't took this, btw.

Thanks! If this is real, I gotta sit with it, still unsure how I'd feel; I know Bison's coming back eventually, but s2 kicking off with two Shadaloo guys already feels kinda too soon and I again would be unsurprised, but disappointed in SF3 being give less priority.

For @ShockDingoand anyone who can't load/see the image:
Reddit poster, shinvergeben:
 
March 9th:  Here's your leak: Bison, Vega, Sakura, Rainbow Mika, Elena, and a New Male Character.
Edit- And yes season 2 has 6 characters, but only season 2 has 6 unfortunately for the foreseeable future.
 
March 16th:  Private discord with a history of leakers and insiders. If you know you know.
 
The source said that they saw a concept art with all six characters last month. Sakura has long hair resembling Hokuto from the Ex series. Bison is older, "unkept", and with a cape and what looks like "scars or veins on his skin". Vega is back to brown hair. Elena and Mika are "less naked".
 
All they said about the New Character is that they look Middle Eastern or African.
 
Capcom will announce them sooner than you think.
