Michael ‘ToXY’ Guida is arguably Australia’s greatest Super Street Fighter IV competitor, and is one of the best Akuma players in the world. In recognition of this, top SSFIV team The Traveling Circus has signed ToXY to a one year contract. This is big news for the burgeoning Australian competitive scene, and proof that Australians players can compete on an international level. More »
Katon Callaway is a busy, busy boy. Not only is he hard at work on God of War III as a character artist, but he’s also done a little on the side for SOTA toys, coming up with this amazing Akuma statue. More »
Who needs GameFAQs when Capcom is kind enough to blog exactly how to unlock the toughest characters in Street Fighter IV?
I finally got a chance to check out Street Fighter IV on the Xbox 360 today. More importantly, though, I got to the booth early enough to play a match as both Akuma and Sakura.
Akuma is a “sort of” boss character in Street Fighter IV. He’ll turn up when you’re kicking too much arse, and need a reminder on the natural order of things. Since late last week, though, he’s also been a playable character, with a code distributed to Japanese arcades allowing him to be unlocked and played. The official site’s even got his moves list up, so you can study up before hitting the arcades. As for SFIV cabinets outside Japan, well, this is what Capcom means when they say the imported units are officially “unsupported”. Sorry!

We only just discovered earlier today that Street fighter villain Akuma. known in Japan as Gouki, would be showing up from time to time to try and kick particular skilled arcade-players’ asses, and now we’ve found direct-feed footage of Akuma completely failing to do just that. One of the scariest fighting game opponents of all time, beaten to death by a Frenchman. What has the world come to?
