Street Fighters 5: Character Pass Includes Akuma

Capcom has recently announced that Akuma is coming to Street Fighter 5, the 2017 Street Fighters 5 Character Pass will  be available on December 20. According to Capcom it will grant pass holders with Akuma, in addition to 5 brand new fighters as they join the fray throughout 2017.

The pass also comes with Premium Battle Costumes with colors 3-10 unlocked and default costume colors 3-10 for each character. Additionally, 2017 Character Pass holders will receive an exclusive PS4 theme.

Check the akuma reveal trailer down below:

“Akuma returns to Street Fighter 5, displaying his mastery of Ansatsuken and while he has become burlier than previous games, he possesses quick footwork and devastating combos,” Capcom says on its official website.

“He has a wide array of destructive tools and is able to completely out-class opponents with his oppressive pressure. His moves and stances often strike poses reminiscent of Buddhist statues and Ukiyo-e paintings.”

Akuma has undergone a small visual transformation since his appearance in Street Fighter 4. He now sports a longer hairstyle but still wears his traditional dark blue Gi. Classic moves such as his air fireball return, but his dive kick now has an EX version which begins with a somersault that does damage if it connects with the enemy.

As for super moves, he has both his Raging Demon and a version of the Misogi, a move that he used in Capcom Vs. SNK 2.

The gameplay video ended with an overview of the second season pass and included in the background are silhouettes of the next batch of DLC characters. The fighting game community will no doubt be working overtime to figure out who they are.”
