Akuma
In a nutshell
Akuma returns in Ultimate with a game play very similar to what was seen in the past. Playing as Akuma depends on getting in close through the use of his varied special attacks and looking for strong mix-up opportunities. Although Akuma does relatively high damage, his low life means that he can be removed from the game fairly easily if used recklessly. Akuma is most known for his Tatsumaki Zenkuyaku assist although the hit stun created by this move now is lower than in the previous version of Marvel vs. Capcom 3, which means the point character will need to have a faster reaction time. Akuma's Raging Demon is still the most damaging hyper in the game.
