Akuma photos and video from Street Fighter 4
As previously hinted at, Akuma has now been unlocked in the arcade release of Street Fighter 4.
The SF4 development blog was updated with new photos, here are a few of them along with a video.
He's unlocked by a code that someone with the keys to the machine needs to put in. It's 'c5hsp3gn'. Once you put it in (there's a "password" menu) it says "Gouki (CPU)." Sounds to me like there will be some kind of Akuma playable.
I don't know exactly what conditions you need to satisfy, but I played through the game trying to get as many perfects, Ultra finishes, and Super finishes as I could. You can lose a round or two to Seth and still get him, I think.
• He has EX moves. Looks like EX Demon Flip takes him completely across the screen, and EX Hurricane Kick is stationary like Ryu's.
• I'm pretty sure his Ultra is the Raging Demon, and it goes pretty damn far.
• It's an easier boss fight than Seth is, in my opinion.
• Akuma's Ashura Senku (Teleport) is faster than previous versions.
There's another video here of Akuma doing his Raging Demon starting at 1:27.

Awesome stuff man. Many thanks for all of this info. Can't wait to play against him. Or better yet, play as him.

Heck ya! Been waiting for Gouki to show up for forever. He looks awesome, and I love his new raging demon. I like the japanese characters that appear when you do it.

Great news. I bet we see Gouken next. Akuma is featured so much in those cartoons Capcom put out, Gouken has to be in the game.
