Most fighting games have a core set of characters that return every sequel because their moves, stories, and even appearances define the franchise. In the case of Street Fighter 6 and its previous iterations, this roster includes Ryu, Ken, and Chun-Li, who have been in the base games since SF2. Theres also Akuma, who has always returned as a hidden or downloadable content (DLC) character. This fighter is a favorite of regular players and pros alike, mostly because hes always a powerful (and sometimes overpowered) pick. Hes making his debut on the Street Fighter 6 character select screen on May 22, and since his gameplay trailer, many are speculating about how hell shake up the meta.
