Akuma Now Playable On Japanese Street Fighter IV Cabinets

1:20PM September 4, 2008 | Luke Plunkett

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!

Street Fighter IV’s Akuma In Action

4:30AM August 16, 2008 | Mike Fahey

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?
