Akuma Hits Street Fighter 6: Fans Uncover Secret Supers

Street Fighter 6 has just introduced Akuma, and fans have quickly uncovered two secret super moves that are activated by performing a hidden taunt. Akuma's seven super moves include these hidden ones, which start with a back taunt involving him eating a rice ball for 30 seconds. The first hidden super is activated by executing two quarter circles back and pressing kick, while the second requires pressing down, down, and all three punch buttons. While these moves aren't very practical in competitive play, they are a fun Easter Egg that has delighted fans and even sparked discussions about using them humorously at major tournaments like Evo. Akuma's addition has caused a significant spike in player interest, showing an increase to 70,000 players on Steam, up from a previous range of 5,000 to 25,000.

To activate Akuma's secret super moves, first perform his back taunt by holding back and pressing all six buttons, then mash down on all those buttons. Once Akuma finishes eating the rice ball, perform the first super by executing two quarter circles back and pressing kick, and the second by pressing down, down, and all three punch buttons.

Akuma, introduced in the classic Street Fighter II, is a long-time fan-favorite character in the Street Fighter series. Known for his powerful moves and dark persona, Akuma has consistently been a staple in the lineup, elevating player interest in any game he appears in. Street Fighter 6 has received high praise for its feature-rich release and innovative mechanics.
