Akuma is the latest new character for Street Fighter 6, and I've been playing him nonstop, so it's review time. I think he's really strong but also surprisingly simple, despite his giant move set. I think Capcom could have gone harder, especially when I think of his previous V-System. I do love the new Adamant Flame attack though, the conversions are awesome. It's also interesting to discuss his main weakness, which is his low health, and why pro players are thinking of switching to him. I'm confident Akuma will seen more in tournaments in the future.
