“Stroke 6” Akuma “Eats rice balls to become stronger” Hidden element found – Playable players can now activate “Kongokoku Rakizan”, “Misogi”, etc.

In the fighting game “Street Fighter 6'', a hidden element has been discovered in “Akuma'', which was just released on Wednesday, May 22nd, and has become a hot topic.

◆Gouki eats “onigiri” and powers up!
This hidden element allows Gouki to enter a special enhanced state by eating an “onigiri” (rice ball) as a provocation (appeal).

Specifically, like the “SiN Akuma” that can be fought in the event “GIANT ATTACK” being held from May 22nd (Wednesday) to June 1st (Saturday) at Battle Hub, we will be introducing “SiN Akuma” that cannot be produced by normal Akuma. You will be able to use such skills as Kongokoku Rakuzan, Misogi, and Double Zanku Hadouken.

Onigiri can be eaten with “back taunt → down taunt” and will also recover your SA gauge. However, the motion of eating the rice ball is extremely long, so it would be useless in actual combat. It seems to be a surprise element intended for friend battles etc.

Director Takayuki Nakayama also responded to this onigiri strengthening in X, saying, “The secret of onigiri has been revealed. That happened sooner than I thought.”

It seems like this was an intentional hidden feature.

“Street Fighter 6” is currently on sale for PS5/PS4/Xbox SeriesX|S/Steam.
