Frame Advantage studies the Dark Hadō of Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition’s Akuma in “The Lab”

The Frame Advantage crew, made up of Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition Pros UM|Tyrant and Method|Packz, are back to dissect whom they believe is the #1 character in the game: the Great Demon, Akuma.

Akuma, option-heavy as he typically is by design, is so strong that he rises above the intentional nerf to the shoto-style that SFV was built around. He’s wildly safe, has one of the game’s best fireballs, and can force incredible pressure with his EX Demon Flip. Today’s episode of “The Lab” explores minute options to simplify specific situations versus Akuma, but as the crew summarizes, beating the demon ultimately boils down to adapting to the player — because there’s little weakness in the demon to take advantage of.

Learn behind-the-scenes details about Street Fighter: The Movie in this closer look from The Guardian

Quick, change the channel!

Many people who love fighting games will claim the live-action Street Fighter: The Movie — starring Raul Julia, Jean Claude Van Damme, and Ming-Na Wen — as a guilty pleasure. It is one of those movies that is so bad it’s good in many eyes, while many others will still roll their eyes in disgust at the mere mention of it.

Regardless, there’s a lot of lore as to why the movie turned out the way it did, including pressure from Capcom in creating the Sawada role, filming issues within Thailand — which was in civil unrest during filming — and Van Damme’s cocaine addiction at the time. All of this and more is chronicled in The Guardian’s look at the film. The movie remains a top-grosser for Van Damme — and according to the director, the humor isn’t accidental: they were well-aware that they were making a funny movie.
