A demon of combat that has welcomed the Satsui no Hado into his being in his quest to become the ultimate master of the fist.
Akuma has a range of powerful, easy to use moves, but his low vitality makes him a character that demands the ability to read and react to situations rapidly. Along with projectiles, anti-air techniques, and close-range strikes that make up your basic arsenal, Akuma also has corner-carry options and an additional throw to keep your attack options varied. His fast walking speed and long-reaching attacks are also powerful tools for controlling space and the flow of a fight.
Usurp the heavens, embrace the sorrow, and become the demon!
