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: Like his previous iterations, he uses Ashura Senku to glide on the battlefield cloaked in shadows.
Adamant Flame: One of Akuma’s new moves, where 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. This time, he allows you to see what happens during the one second worth of nightmares.
On May 22, the Street Fighter 6 update will also add Outfit 3 for all Year 1 Characters (Rashid, A.K.I., Ed, and Akuma). Year 1 Ultimate Pass owners will automatically receive these, including their colors 1-10. Moreover, they will also get a new stage called Enma’s Hollow. Lastly, a series of battle balance updates is being prepared. More information on them will be shared in the coming weeks.

Premium Collectibles released a range of Chun-Li statues in January and well, it got people a little hot and bothered for a couple of reasons. Partly because the statues cost almost $700 each, but also because of what exactly the very detailed model of Chun-Li is doing. The statue captures the Street Fighter veteran in a powerlifting squat, and now she is no longer alone. Clearly the Chun-Li statues sold well as now there's a matching set of Cammy statues for those with $665 handy.
