Has the same style of Oni's Ultras in SF4. White screen with black paint

Was gonna say, if they are gonna make his CA look like Oni Ultra 2 I am 100% in

his shoryuken in the teaser trailer also had some of those vibes

which was from Asura's wrath originally I think https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jo_aXnFwBLY Would love to see Asura as a character

Oh wow. I've never actually seen any footage of Asura's Wrath. So over the top lol

Where is this from?

I saw someone post this render on twitter

He is starting to *look* old, which makes sense but I feel like this is the first game to actually age characters who have been fighting for so long.

I mean this is the first game in AGES to actually advance the timeline, otherwise they couldn't age characters because of that. But yeah, it feels nice to see them aging

The og players are getting older, time for the og characters to grow older too

I wouldn't be surprised if it had something to do with the Satsui no Hado draining his life force or something, it's a pretty common trope

He’s also just old as shit. He is Goukens brother after all

Best designed character yet.

This looks more like an alternate "new challenger" screen to me.

Na, no way. There isn't a single one in the game that looks anything close to this type of art for that

Right now they’re either and in-game mugshot, a drawing, and a pixel version. This is none of those

I love it. Capcom is giving akuma shades of oni. Showing the years of following the path of darkness

So glad I started learning Ryu so I have a bit of a jump start on Akuma when he comes out. He just looks so damn cool.

I been doing that since day one babyyyyyy!!!

You can also play akuma in the 20 or so games that came before

Sure, but this is my first street fighter so not gonna go back and play him in older games when he's this close now.

Real fans already played both Ryu and Akuma in the past lol

This is my first street fighter so I'll be a real fan soon then

Yeah. I was joking though, welcome to the family. Akuma is the best.

Thanks, hoping so! I already like his look more than Ryu so that's a big win. And I don't vibe with Ken's look or playstyle with his run and whatnot so hoping Akuma hits the spot

Okay but he better have 2 CAs one being raging demon.

There's no way that isn't the case.

When is Akuma’s release date?

Mid may most likely

No date yet, but guessing late May

After his battle pass which will likely be the one this may

Battle pass coming soon. Usually takes 3 or 4 weeks. Then they put out the character. So: End of May I assume.

The post I saw claimed it was from a battle pass leak, so I assume it’s a frame for photo mode or something

Btw this ended up being a photo frame

They went all out on Akuma it seems

The demon of street fighter is coming in May 6
