Who is the next Street Fighter 6 DLC Year 1 character?
Akuma will be the next character in the Year 1 DLC to arrive in Street Fighter 6 on May 22, 2024. This is the fourth and final character of the Year 1 DLC, and Capcom confirmed that they will provide details about the Year 2 DLC in the middle of the year.
Take a look at some of the moves Akuma will bring to Street Fighter 6:
| Move | Description |
|---|---|
| Gou Hadoken | Akuma’s infamous fireball is back and can be charged up to blast a “red fireball” that gives him more options on hit or block |
| Ashura Senku | Akuma uses Ashura Senku to glide on the battlefield cloaked in shadows |
| Adamant Flame | He performs a forward thrust engulfed in flames. This move is useful in combos and for exploiting vulnerable opponents due to its long reach. |
| Messatsu Gohado | Akuma’s Level 1 Super Art where he fires a highly concentrated ball of Satsui no Hado. |
| Empyrean’s End | Akuma’s Level 2 Super Art where he turns the Satsui no Hado into a powerful flame and ignites it within the opponent. |
| Sip of Calamity | Akuma’s first Level 3 Super Art where he throws opponents on the ground face-first and follows up with a single devastating blow. |
| Shun Goku Satsu or ‘Raging Demon’ | This second Level 3 Super Art can only be performed when his Vitality is low enough for a Critical Art and can be used to end combos. Akuma allows you to see what happens during the one-second worth of nightmares. |
