One of the most powerful characters in the Street Fighter universe often gets treated very generously in-game as well. Akuma traditionally gets a slew of options and just deals with the downside of lowered health. This glass cannon gameplay has been a staple of the character for decades, but he has some noted changes from past incarnations. If you’ve been struggling to get the hang of Akuma in SFV, we have this basics tutorial which should help you out.
jmcrofts goes over a lot of Akuma’s choices, and even talks a bit about his design philosophy as opposed to previous incarnations. He covers the basics of Akuma’s moves and goes over changes from past incarnations, new moves and unique move properties. He doesn’t touch on anything too complicated or much of his V-Gauge specific stuff, but another video is said to be on the way breaking into all that.
