Street Fighter 6: How to Perform Akuma's Secret Supers

Akuma has two completely secret Super Moves that aren't found in the command list and are actually locked behind a secret taunt. Here's how to perform not only his two secret super moves, but also his classic double air fireball attack once powered up by the secret taunt.

[@darkfeeels]

People are missing the point - its made intentionally like this to let online be fair but let players have fun if they mutually agree to it. Its the best thing they could do

[@RedwoodAmaril]

Exactlyyyy

[@Lemont5236]

Most people. Not everyone is in the same box

[@rengeki8710]

The first secret super is actually the Misogi, a callback to his strongest Lvl 3 super from Capcom vs Snk 2. The second secret is from Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike, called the Kongou Kokuretsuzan, the killing strike he originally sunk the Gokentou Island with in Street Fighter Alpha.

He should have saved that after the fight.😅

You would be surprise many players will allow it for akuma

[@PopularNobody]

IGN not knowing where his supers originally came from is kinda wild. Gaming is supposed to be your thing.

[@MidknightFlare8413]

The new people they got don't got a lot of gaming history as we can see

[@adriellightvale8140]

It's IGN. Nothing should surprise you.

[@Alex_Logan22]

Well what he said wasn't inaccurate, he didn't say these moves first appeared in SFV.

[@realchezboi]

His Misogi "big chop" super debuted in Capcom vs. SNK 2 in 2001, and KKZ "giant ground explosion" debuted in 3rd Strike in 1999 (It is first mentioned however in Akuma's ending in SFIII: Second Impact, 1997, where he shatters Uluru in half)

[@FrancescoDFF]

You don't need to mash, you just have to wait until he turns his head back (he does that after 8-9 seconds, near the end) and press down + taunt, just once.

[@feetfunkerson1312]

Thanks!! It worked.🤣🤣

[@tubii-fushii1173]

Correction: the second super mentioned is from SF3 third strike!

[@Manobaru]

@@romullorodrigues4975 No, NOT Street Fighter 5. In SFV his CA is Sekia Kuretsuha. It's a different move. This is Kongou Kokuretsuzan - the technique Akuma developped in SF3 2nd impact ending, and used in 3rd strike as a regular super. It's a similar technique but not the same.

[@traditional-dig8333]

All akuma mains must eat together before fighting

[@diskoBonez]

lmao we're normally fighting a starved Akuma, that's why his moveset's so nerfed. Thanks for revealing this secret!!

[@IsraelSoriano]

these moves are older than SFV. ign needs an FGC member on staff.

Honestly, this is the best way they could’ve implemented it. Both players agree to shenanigans? Cool! It’s not like giving you easy access to a clearly broken character like Gill in Third Strike.

[@AnkhPeak]

How funny it is this “gaming journalist” never heard of SF 3rd Strike and assumed it’s a SF 5 callback.

This is like how games used to be

[@_J1_]

Needed to see this while another Akuma was doing it mid-match in rank lol

[@luckygluxx]

Do you think you can get away with doing the taunt by doing it immediately after hitting them with a move that sends them in the air and getting them dizzy?

[@00ffc8]

no, still too slow

[@Yajeeb]

Akuma(SHIN AKUMA) was doing move 1 since *Capcom vs SNK 2* and Move 2 since *SF 3rd Strike* . None if them are a call back from Kage/SF5💀

[@akumous]

IGN, you got this wrong. One of the super moves stemmed from Street Fighter 3, 3rd strike and Capcom vs Snk 2. Not street fighter V.

[@Alex_Logan22]

Akuma has 6 supers not 7. If you're counting the level 3 CAs, than everyone else has 4 not 3, so either way this is incorrect.

[@supersaiyan772h3h]

He has 7, 5 normally and these to with taunt

[@aaronwillis1864]

It's not working for me...

[@SwazNasty]

Same. He won't eat a rice ball. Makes me suspicious about this vid lol

[@ShadowTetsuo9999]

I’d say it’s more of a call back to his own super as shin akuma in capcom vs snk2 before kage

[@shinistrue]

So he eats a rice bowl becomes Shin Akuma with street 1:13 fighter 3 and SNK variant moves

[@mathewjoy2048]

It did nor work for me

[@thunderlightning1980]

The rice ball does not power him up. What powers him up is when you challenge him to battle while he is relaxing.

[@DRACOFURY]

1:07 no it's not it's from Street Fighter 3 3rd Strike... 😅

Why does he look like Santa Claus if he got hit in te face by a metallic chair?

IGN knows nothing about Akuma. These supers are from CvS2 and SF3 respectively. They also forgot to mention his 3rd secret move.

[@munoken]

Kongou Kokuretsu Zan is from Street Fighter 3..

IGN getting blasted in the comments for no reason. Both of these skills are in SF5 and I’d argue most people would recognize them from there. Sure they date back earlier but they never claimed it was the first time the move was seen.

[@slimballs9650]

KKZ was not in SFV. There was a similar super though.

[@TailsClock]

Being technically correct but ultimately misleading is absolutely just another way of being wrong. Don't defend them for being lazy and incompetent. But they're not even technically correct for both, only one, because they call one of his moves a reference to Kage even though Kage was the one making a reference to Akuma. Not sure how you can defend that mistake. Are you an IGN employee?

[@Lintlikr1]

so, actually useless. Cool
