Japanese players provide observations about Season 2 changes with the early Akuma build for Street Fighter 6

At the "Real Battle Hub" event in Gamagori, Japan, Japanese players got an early look at Akuma in Street Fighter 6, revealing changes coming with the Season 2 patch on May 22, 2024. Key adjustments include Akuma's teleport losing invincibility and modifications to his Raging Demon Critical Art. Additionally, throw loops appear to remain, but okizeme pressure after back throws has been removed for all characters.

Further tweaks were noted for other characters like Ryu, who can now choose when to use his Denjin Charge, and Luke, who faces nerfs in his jumping heavy punch and combo potential. Photography and video capture were prohibited at the event, so these insights are based on player reports, which could still be subject to change before the official patch release.
