Street Fighter 6 introduces “Giant Attack”, an event in the Battle Hub where players work together to defeat a Giant Akuma. The way how this event works is that players defeat SiRN Akuma on the cabinets to accumulate enough energy to use Hadokens. By getting far enough into the event, players will obtain a new outfit color for Akuma. This event will run in the Battle Hub from May 22 to May 31.
Furthermore, players can expect battle balance adjustments for all characters in the upcoming patch. Each of the Year 1 DLC characters will receive their Outfit 3 costumes, so many changes are coming. There will also be new challenger screen customizations arriving with Akuma’s release. Additionally, check out the Akuma character guide that Capcom released below:
