All About Street Fighter 6’s Newest Fighter: A.K.I.
Capcom introduced us to A.K.I. at the 2023 EVO Championship, We didn’t learn much from the teaser, but we did learn that A.K.I. was deadly.
Speaking of deadly, check out some of their deadly moves…if you dare:
- Serpent Lash: From a distance, A.K.I. sends her nails flying forward like a chain, poisoning enemies she hits. When she strikes an opponent who is already poisoned, a Toxic Blossom will trigger an explosion and open enemies up to follow-up attacks.
- Nightshade Pulse: A.K.I. sends a bubble forward that also poisons enemies it hits. She can strike the bubble with Nightshade Chaser to pop it in advance, increasing its area of effect.
- Orchid Spring: A.K.I. places a puddle of poison in front of her which will affect opponents who step inside it.
- Sinister Slide: Slither across the screen to avoid threats while stalking forward and perform follow-up moves like Venomous Fang, Heel Strike, or Entrapment.
- Claws of Ya Zi: A.K.I.’s Level 3 Super Art pierces various pressure points on an opponent’s body and injects a poison that dangerously detonates from within.
We have also learned that A.K.I. hates nice weather and anyone who isn’t master F.A.N.G. because she lives for their attention.
Street Fighter 6 Fighting Pass A.K.I. Perks
The “A.K.I. Arrives!” Fighting Pass also goes live for a limited time starting at 12:00 AM PT on Sept. 1, so players can gear up for their favorite new character with A.K.I.-themed items and cosmetics.
The new fighting pass will presumably cost 250 Fighter Coins, which is the equivalent of $5 USD.
A.K.I. and her elegant Outfit 2 will be available for owners of the Year 1 Character Pass, Deluxe Edition, or Ultimate Edition on Sept. 27. Get a taste of her poison for an hour with a Rental Fighter ticket, which can be obtained via the Fighting Pass.
Year 1 of Street Fighter 6 is just starting to heat up and players can look forward to more new characters like Ed and Akuma as the year continues!
The English Voice of A.K.I. Belongs to Faye Mata
The character is voiced by Faye Mata, a well-known voice actress. You may have heard her in the anime Tekken: Bloodline as Ling Xiaoyu, Lulu in League of Legends, and much more.
AKI Tagline — You Can’t Fix Her, But She Can Fix You!
Apparently, this character is so psychotic that she makes Juri Han look tame. Her hands are laced with poison and she slithers on the ground like a wretched snake.
At first, A.K.I. just looks like a woman cosplaying as an old woman who left the mental institute and the only thing to fear is her poison, but upon further review, this new Street Fighter 6 character does have some sickening moves.
Will you be playing as A.K.I. upon release? You can find out more information about her from the official Street Fighter 6 website. We will also be updating this post as we find out more information about this interesting new fighter.
