Good eye on the added detail, the old mechanic for Neo Shadaloo got more details too. Made him interesting, I want them to give the ol' timer another chance!
 

Weird that those designs led to Menat and not Marisa. 
Make her something besides Italian.  We just got an Italian character.
 
Maybe Irish, to go with the ginger.
 

It's a Jujutsu Kaisen reference.
 
Characters basically have the ability to create a pocket dimension around themselves that alters reality with their...let's call it a Stand-like ability.
 
That's basically what SGS is here.  Akuma isn't sending you to hell.  He's sending you to the thousand punches dimension.

SF6 Voice actor Christopher Guerrero reading quotes and memes of Akuma. Already winning hearts.
 
 

I'm guessing Akuma's "Sacrifice yourself to the Satsui no Hado" is a line from the boss fight with Ryu.
 
Or it might be towards the player's character in World Tour Mode. Akuma has likely given up on Ryu taking that path at this point.
 
I wonder if Akuma is going to speak on Lily's dormant power.
 
 
 
 

I wonder if Akuma carves these statues with just his fist, that much take more skill than using the proper tools.

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 . 

The whole "leak" was by an impersonator
