How the rules are changing for Akuma and his red fireball in Street Fighter 6

Akuma's gameplay in Street Fighter 6 introduces changes to his iconic red fireball. Unlike previous games where different motions were required, now players can activate the red fireball by holding the punch button after a standard fireball motion. This new version can overpower multiple projectiles but is ineffective against Overdrive projectiles. Akuma's adaptability in zoning wars remains strong, though players must manage resources more carefully due to these changes and his low vitality.
