Capcom just released a brand spankin’ new Street Fighter 6 character guide video for Akuma, and right after it landed, it appears a floodgate of sorts has opened for Akuma content. Several content creators were given the opportunity to get some hands on time with Akuma and some of the Season 2 balance changes, and they’re now releasing their own videos with even more information about the upcoming DLC character.
First and foremost, though, our buddy Rooflemonger has released a hands-on Akuma gameplay preview, and within it he took footage of all 10 of Akuma’s alternate colors for his default costume and outfit 2. For the first time we get to see all of these colors revealed and what they look like.
We went ahead and rounded up some screenshots of each of the costumes’ colors for you all to check out. Like previous DLC characters before him, Akuma has 10 palettes for each of his initial two looks.
Starting with his default, the massive-maned Shoto sees various aspects of this outfit changed when different colors are selected. His color 1 has his new white hair, while color 2 returns his mane back to the deep red he’s known for.
Other palettes include black hair, his classic Super Saiyan gold hair, and blue hair with red beads. His gloves and pants also change colors here when alternate palettes are selected.
His outfit 2 colors follow almost the same palettes as his default, with the exception of colors 1 and 2. With outfit 2, Akuma’s color 1 sees him with his traditional red hair, while color 2 gives him his new white hair color.
