Tokido's first Akuma gameplay impressions after trying next Street Fighter 6 DLC early, unsure if the demon is a total powerhouse

Rohto|Tokido shared his initial gameplay impressions of Akuma in the upcoming Street Fighter 6 DLC from an early preview event in Japan. He noted Akuma's fast walk speed and speculated on his vitality being around 9,000. Tokido tested new moves and abilities but remained uncertain about Akuma’s overall power, describing him as potentially more technical and speed-focused rather than just powerful. He highlighted changes in Akuma's moves, like the variations in his Gohadouken and the effectiveness of his new Shakunetsu Messhou special near corners. Tokido concluded that more exploration is needed to fully understand Akuma’s capabilities in the new game setup.
