Capcom included surprise Akira gameplay footage during its Street Fighter V Spring Update livestream. The reveal came as a last-minute stinger after an already packed presentation. Akira will be the fourth character in the game’s Season 5 Pass.
The Street Fighter V Spring 2021 Update primarily focused on Rose and Oro, but Akira got a bonus moment too. Capcom showed off some devastating combos against none other than resident punching bag, Dan. In addition, even the surprise reveal had its own reveal at the end. Akira got a little help from a certain someone during one of her special moves in the footage below.
