Make yourself a poisonous snake

The poison expert AKI mixes with the fighters of Street Fighter 6 as a DLC from September 27th. Now Capcom shows the first gameplay in a trailer and thus inspires the players.

What does the trailer show? With AKI you get a real poisonous snake: in the most positive sense. The new fighter moves through the trailer acrobatically and with a snake-like grace.

In combat, she can be seen slithering across the ground or bending in some downright inhuman way. She can easily wrap her opponents in her grip, using her entire body to do so.

However, AKI’s main feature will be the poison mechanic, which she uses to poison her opponents’ moves to give herself an advantage. It is still unclear whether the poison only causes HP damage or also affects the Drive bar and Super bar.

It is clear, however, that AKI has a lot of fun with her little poison bites. In the trailer, she shows her great joy at the effects of her poison, with almost exaggerated reactions that perfectly reflect the sadistic and psychopathic character that hides under the delicate exterior.

Their entire design contributes to the image of a poisonous snake. This is incredibly well received by the players, as is clear from the comments (via Youtube):

  • joelcadiz6876 writes: “You did a great job with the snake movements. It’s so scary and so cool […]”
  • thegodofpez says, “This is a badass character design.”
  • kombatjenning writes, “I’ve never felt so scared and mesmerized by a character […]”
  • Ultimately, AKI still convinces with a suitable dubbing voice, which gives the character the finishing touch. She manages to get the right amount of weirdness into her voice without being over the top.
