Akuma's Raging Demon (also known as INSTANT PRISON MURDER if you translate it directly from Japanese – how awesome is that?) is perhaps the most famous super in the Street Fighter series, despite not becoming usable until the Alpha games came out. I have fond memories of repeatedly destroying my cousin with this move in Alpha 3, and I'm happy to say I'll get to experience that terror for him once again when Akuma makes his Street Fighter 6 debut soon.

Following last month’s Akuma teaser, Capcom has released a gameplay trailer showcasing the infamous shoto. This trailer offers pretty much what you’d expect: the traditional shoto gameplay you’re used to (fireballs, roundhouses, heavy punches, etc.), but with the usual Akuma twists, thanks in part to more air-based options (air fireballs don’t seem any less painful to deal with now than they did 20 years ago).

I found myself watching the footage and saying, "Do it!", but the trailer seemed to end. Thankfully, the dastardly lads at Capcom saved the best for last and snuck Raging Demon in at the end.
