it is not any akuma. it's the one from SF4. it should be mentionned.

I love how Akuma had a bigger role in Tekken 7's story mode than in his own franchise lol

[@randomjunk555]

He's the reason for bison death in sf2 and bison shinnanigans long after until his death in 5.

[@ryanm.8720]

Akuma also had a bigger role in a single 'Tekken' installment than the non-Mishima(/non-Kazama/Asuka) characters had in the entire franchise.

[@randomyoutuber7898]

I think this has to do with the fact that Namco has completely botched their Tekken X Street Fighter game.

[@Kusanagikaiser999]

the fact that you say this BS shows how much you know the LORE of street fighter and his role in SF games, since SF Alpha to SFV.....is ridiculous

[@Rainhands22]

@Kusanagikaiser999 aside from tempting Ryu to give into his dark power what else does Akuma contribute to the Street Fighter storyline?

[@Zeoinx69]

In Akuma's defense, the way his character is designed, I feel like his backstory of wanting only to fight strong characters can easily fit into any and ALL fighting games as a guest character into the plot in some way. I would have honestly LOVED to see Akuma as a stand alone character in Smash Brothers, as his own character and not a echo of Ryu and Ken as well, with a way more unique play style and even in Mortal Kombat, where the Raging demon finisher would be a proper visible fatality.

I always believed Tekken X Street Fighter may be cancelled due to Street Fighter X Tekken causing a lot of controversy (especially with its DLC being on disc).

Well they officially cancelled that project a while back but you can still find the Ryu render, which makes me wonder why more characters didn’t just come over as DLC

Akuma is not a Street Fighter's exclusive character anymore at this point, the man just became the Chuck Norris of fighters in his personal quest to fight STRONG opponents.

[@lwandomadikizela2213]

Akuma in the main event of the Tekken 7 storyline is one I can remember. Akuma fighting Heihachi Mishima and Kazuya Mishima is incredible considering Akuma waited for them to get stronger hence keeping his code of only fighting and killing opponents that can match up to him. The debate of the Dark Hado and the Devil Gene still remains. Now I want Tekken 8 to have a battle between the Devil Gene and the Blood Riot State(Orochi) from KOF.

I just randomly felt like beating Tekken 7 and God DAMN. That final fight felt like it TOOK FOREVER. Super intense

[@Nick-up5wv]

I LOVE Akuma's inclusion and the fact that it's cannon, but I wish they gave a little more context. WHEN in the Tekken time-line did Akuma OFFICIALLY debute; And, when and how did Kazumi save Akuma's life causing him to repay her a debt in the first place? Obviously it occurred when Kayzua was still a boy and probably before the whole cliff thing, but where does it take place in the Street Fighter side? Was it during the Alpha series or...? So many unanswered questions. I hope one day they get answered and you make a video on the answer. Anyways another job well done as always Tophat.👏

[@ssppeeaarr]

ya lots of lore potential there in tekken for gouki. i wish we knew more of his back story how they found each other. maybe this was way back when akuma left goutetsu and gouken to train. to master his satsui and all that. during this time he was brought to near death?? then kasumi finds him..... lol. my head canon for now.

[@Nick-up5wv]

@@ssppeeaarr Better than the official lore so far. 👍

[@aleanddragonITA]

I think Akuma meeting with Kazumi (that Kazumi saved his life) happened after he left the Dojo to train in the Satsu No Hado Before he killed his Master So before Ryu was born as those two events more or less happened the same day As how it happened In Namco × Capcom (i know it's non canon but shish its only to make an example) Akuma's Cave Temple (the Cave where Akuma trained his Satsu No Hado) has been mentioned having a Dimensional Rift in it (or something) and can be used to travel into the Netherworld/Afterlife (but potentially can be used to travel to other Dimensions too) I think when Akuma was training he may have lost control of the Satsu No Hado and got a potential mortal wound But at the same time opened the Dimensional Rift causing him to cross in the Tekke Universe where he ended in a Cave Temple dedicated to The Devil Gene Where he meet Kazumi that saved his life (Later Akuma must have learned how to use the Portal and go in-between the 2 Dimensions at will)

[@sonomni]

Pretty sure Akuma in Tekken has his own continuity separated from Street Fighter. Could be wrong though.

Never understand why people actually liked AKUMA butting in MISHIMA three generations rivalry. Sure Kazuya and Jin feel similar when fighting to heihachi but trio fighting each other having same blood is something..........then AKUMA butted in. Hello you guys, i am also your new enemy, Please, hate me like you hated each other all these games and equally if not more. Thank God, Akuma did not go for MK universe. Imagine Scorpion and sub zero fighting to kill each other and Akuma butting in with excuse of helping QUAN CHI. where would that put Scorpion vs. sub zero. if you think that will be cool, then you must not know what makes a rivalry so amazing.

I don't really consider Akira as a guest character in SF5. Is the same like Guy and Cody. The Rival Schools and Final Fight felt more like a spin-off to Street Fighter since all of it take place in the same universe. I put Street Fighter as the main universe since this game clearly the major point of this verse now

[@ahmedraden3328]

Remembering how shocked I am when they announce Akuma in Tekken 7 and takes a big role in lore of Tekken History..awesome Akuma

[@augosyx]

Akuma being part of Tekken's lore and has made SF and Tekken's world canon is something I'd never believe until forever. I doubt we'll ever see Namco's version of the Tekken X Street Fighter considering how long Street Fighter X Tekken has been release so having Akuma there would probably suffice enough in Namco's view and how we're on Tekken 8 now.

[@warrenbradford2597]

4:52-4:59 What about his appearence as a boss character in Namco X Capcom? You can play as Tekken characters in that game and fight Akuma as them. Namco X Capcom came out in 2005, 7 years before Street Fighter X Tekken was announced.

Akuma really needs to be in Smash Bros.

[@DaroLinguiniJohnson]

Akuma was so broken and unbalanced but you gotta admit This is the coolest thing ever and I want him so bad in Tekken 8 balanced or not

[@spenserbeckerszs]

The reason can be summed up like this. Akuma either had some sort of secret love affair with Heihachi’s ex wife Kazumi or at least some sort of close relationship between the two. She went to Akuma and asked him to end the Mishima Bloodline and leave no survivors. Akuma agreed not only because of whatever the past relationship is/was classified as with Kazumi but it has been long established in Street Fighter lore that Akuma will NEVER shy away from finding someone who can match him in combat. That’s been his one desire. Heihachi, Kazuya & Jin were just more possibilities to fulfill that desire for him. That storyline never got fully fleshed out by the end of Tekken 7 though. I fully believe we haven’t seen the last of Akuma in the Tekken series. I am willing to bet he will make a surprise appearance in Tekken 8 somewhere. It may not be until a DLC storyline or something but it would be criminal to have his mission go unfulfilled.

[@aleanddragonITA]

I have even an idea of what The Final Boss could (have) be(en) a *Satsu No Hado* (empowered) *Devil* Devil is a Character that was dropped in Tekken (since probably T3 with the Introduction of the Devil Gene) His Lore would merge the OG Kazuya selling his Soul to the Devil/Demon possession Lore from Tekken 1 & 2 With the Devil Gene Lore from Tekken 3 onwards The Devil Gene would be something Devil created so that he could have a Perfect Host to use to descend on the Mortal Realm But because Kazuya was able to resist his Posession & Jin has the Kazama's Blood then in T×SF he would have asborbed the Satsu No Hado to manifest his own body (kinda like Cage in SF5 as he is Ryu's Satsu No Hado manifested)

I love how Akuma supposed to represent Namco s version of Street Fighter X Tekken of how Street Fighter will look like in that format and also Tekken is known for the King of the Iron Fist literally means Tekken in Japanese and Akuma calls himself the Master of the Fist 🤜 get it.

[@lukefinco8320]

Well it's because karate means empty fist I think, Okinawa. But where karate originated from in China, where an okinawaan family visited China, they learnt empty hand, and went back to Okinawa and it became karate empty fist. Thats probably why it's called tekken. And probably why they use "fist" a lot, as the translation. Akuma is probably loosely saying he is the best karate practitioner or along those lines lol

Heihachi is dead, at least that what we've been told, but Kazuya is still alive, so he hasn't completed his promise yet.

[@lukefinco8320]

I've watched lots of street fighter movies. I have a theory, in the live action street fighter: assassin's fist, gouki becomes akuma I think it's gouki. He leaves the confines of his masters hut and his brother(gouken), the one that trained ryu.and walks down the dark hado path. Anyways during his training and his morphing, he nearly dies a few times from the dark hado consuming him. Anyways I reckon kazumi being a yokai, and akuma training in the forest, attracted kazumi to him. She prob saved his life while he was killing his humanity to become an akuma. Revived him a few times or something like that. If anyone has played nioh2, kazumi looks like the yokai mother of ur main character who is half yokai. Oni yokai n akumas have a special relationship in the demon realm. Because akuma isn't pure evil, he did love ryu mother, but the assassin's fist shotokan style means that to walk that path, means u will have to kill ur master and any rival, including his brother and now his son ryu. Which parallels kazumis story with kazuya and heihachi, Now heihachi is the son of a thundergod, jinpachi, who are evil I think, and the yokai have some feud with those type of Gods. So she never intended to have kazuya, because of the devil gene and whatever thundergod blood, would create more monsters and draw out the ancient guardians that have been sealed away. I think it all ties in when u look at their history and origins. U can see the demon direction for sure.

My question is when does these actions from Akuma take place in the Street Fighter timeline?

[@johnlund3088]

Insanely good set 👌 👏 🙌

[@RameoMTL]

Akuma fought Asura and survived

[@mr.checkyourself4672]

I hate that Akuma is canon to the Tekken lore now but his story in Street Fighter is obsolete we don't know nothing about Akuma origins in Tekken.

[@ragingdragon92]

Don't worry about that Tekken akuma isint the same as street fighter akuma they don't share the same back story and feets

[@shenelljohnson74]

​@@ragingdragon92 but harada understand how powerful akuma is for Christ sakes, it doesn't matter if he could sunk a island until you realize a jack robot in TK2 did a much stronger BIGGER version than akuma in SF

[@ragingdragon92]

my point still stands though ill need some proof of this btw people are known to overestimate tekken characters and their abilities

[@shenelljohnson74]

@@ragingdragon92same with SF 🤷‍♂️ as well saying akuma is a planet level is crazy talk Edit:🤷‍♂️you need proof? just look at akuma TNT blast compared to a jack satellite blast obviously jack had a mountain in the background.. but he just a prototype that survived all that compared to a island building sizes akuma TNT blast

[@ragingdragon92]

@@shenelljohnson74 okay dude that tekken 5 explosion was no more then a building level or maybe small area thats no way near island buddy sf akuma destroyed that island with little effort while ryu was inside safe to say akuma in sf is stronger also that satellite blast was building level which kazuya had to be in devil form to survive

[@mikailthomas1466]

Finally a guest character that makes sense.

Hey, Top Hat Gaming Man. Can you please do a video on Battle Circuit? Capcom's beat 'em up game was released exclusively for the Arcade only in Japan and Europe in 1997. It did not get a home console release on either the original PlayStation or the Sega Saturn up until it was part of the release of the Capcom Beat 'Em Up Collection on modern consoles like the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC through Windows in September 2018. Please do a video on Capcom's last beat 'em arcade game, Top Hat.

[@dreadhead_quincy7760]

Akuma probably has the most crossover game appearances

[@DigitxlRxse]

Why was ref cross over canceled?

[@Aaditya_Shakya]

Akuma has had crossovers and invaded many games before like Asuras Wrath and Xmen Children of the Atom and Now Tekken franchise

[@DewMan31]

I have never seen a family hate each other so extremely. Tekken is crazy.

[@craigford33]

Street fighter cross tekken was released. It was just so bad they silenced it quietly and pretended it never existed. It came out in May 2012. I owned it for 360

[@Derek4k]

i need a tekken style game featuring baki, kengan ashura, and record of ragnarok characters

[@billcook4768]

If you are going to get into one off crossovers, time to cover Soul Calibur 2.

[@dray2966]

He did not let StreetfighterXTekken slide😭

[@conradojavier7547]

We need to see more Guest Stars play Canon Roles in other franchise.

Akuma at this point is a perfect guest. I'm hoping he makes cameo in God of War

[@Jinnkris7]

Last we saw akuma in tekken he was fighting Kazuya. What happened after that?

[@retiredsnowbunnyhunterx5106]

Kazuya is still alive and so is akuma

[@Jinnkris7]

@@retiredsnowbunnyhunterx5106 okay

[@aleanddragonITA]

The Vulcano they where on exploded And is unknow how their Fight ended but Kazuya is in Tekken 8

[@Jinnkris7]

@@aleanddragonITA okay

[@xandrix]

This is why when the news came out "Akuma broke the internet." I wasn't surprise at all.

[@nahidahamed1742]

I feel like the SFxT crossover made a portal for akuma to enter the Tekken universe, that’s my theory

[@victorjames9526]

I expect a Tekken x street fighter game to be like this unlike the first..it was basically sf with Tekken characters

[@BladeMaster84]

Imagine Vergil (Devil May Cry - Action Game), Kazuya Mishima (TEKKEN - Fighting Game) & Sephiroth (FINAL FANTASY VII - Role-playing Game) Together: The Edgy Demonic Rivals Trio, each from a different video game genre.

[@aleanddragonITA]

Project X Zone has Vergil & Kazuya and Super Smash Bros has Kazuya & Sephiroth

[@killjoy362]

Since you start with how most of crossovers not affect source, in god of war ragnarok kratos talk about his time in "playstation all stars battle royal" against mimir

[@thedavisdimension]

This was done well. If they ever get around Tekken X Street Fighter in Tekken graphics it will work.

[@carlitosfromtx4635]

waiting on the XBand video......snes and sega genesis going online to play mortal kombat and sfII definitely needs a video

[@partofthetribe3277]

Yeah that trailer was really cool

[@ralegade7710]

Vegeta: Come try that with us…

[@senorhotpants1851]

did you know X-Men Vs Street fighter is all just a danger room training simulator.

Wait until harada bring jollibee in tekken 8

This is the strangest reading cadence I’ve ever heard

Wasn’t it because of akumas raging demon that Kazuhiro was finally able to defeat heihachi once and for all
