Cyber-Akuma skin coming to Street Fighter V. But I, a person of culture, will stick with Mech Juri

Part Man, Part Machine, All Edge

Street Fighter V: Champion Edition may be well into its twilight age, but Capcom is not quite done rolling out new skins. The developer has revealed a brand new ‘Cyber-Akuma’ skin, while also teasing further skins for future release.

Akuma’s new duds kit out the master of Satsui no Hado with a strange mechanical amalgamation, complete with Terminator-style eye-piece and a strangely Mega Man-esque giant arm. Cyber-Akuma also has metallic wings, that protrude from his back during certain maneuvers. This whole look is a throwback to the lore of the original Marvel Super Heroes vs. Capcom, which saw Akuma semi-roboticized by nefarious Marvel villain Apocalypse. Obviously, the Street Fighter V iteration of Cyber-Akuma is cosmetic only, so no Rocket Punch… Don’t you have enough fucking tools already?

While Cyber-Akuma is quite the impressive contraption, he pales in comparison to , who is Battle Angel Alita to Akuma’s Paulie’s Robot from Rocky IV. Still, if you fancy rocking Akuma’s old robo-ways, then the new skin will be available to purchase in Street Fighter V from September 21 and is included with the Season V pass. Another new skin will be revealed on September 16 during the Street Fighter League Season 3 Finals. I wouldn’t be surprised if we also receive new info pertaining to SFV‘s final DLC character, Luke, at the same event.
