00:02 Street Fighter VI
00:08 Street Fighter VI launched in June 2023 and has been bringing the heat.
00:14 In July, we met Rashid.
00:20 In September, Aki joined the fight.
00:24 In December, all 18 fighters received Outfit 3.
00:30 And in February, we added Ed to the roster.
00:33 We're only starting to get warmed up.
00:36 Street Fighter VI also had a number of collaborations in the Battle Hub, where players can get together.
00:45 This month, we're featuring a Mega Man-themed fighting pass.
00:54 Your favorite Mega Man game, Street Voter, is currently live, so we hope you join in.
01:00 Now, we'd like to share a short video of Akuma, who will be released in the game later this year.

02:45 Akuma joins the crew in Spring 2024.
03:00 Not only will Akuma be available to use as a fighter in Fighting Ground, but he'll also appear in World Tour, where we'll have new missions and an area featuring him.
03:10 This is only the beginning of Street Fighter VI. Stay tuned for more characters and content.
03:17 All right, what'd you think?
03:19 He's finally here.
03:20 He's finally here.
03:21 Back when the game was announced, I know I was not in the lineup, so I decided to main Ken, but Akuma's always been the one with my heart.
03:27 Yeah, well, you're not the only one. I think a bunch of people at home have been really excited for him.
03:31 I've seen all the social media comments, and he's finally, finally coming soon.
03:36 I mean, he's one of the best. I mean, you got Ryu Suruken, you got the uppercuts coming in from Ken, you got some air volleys, like...
03:42 And on top of that, he's got that edgy, dark thing to you that just kind of draws you in.
03:46 Yeah, and speaking of those design elements, we have someone very special on the line with us.
03:51 All the way from Japan, we have game director Nakayama-san.
03:54 Hello, Nakayama-san.
03:56 Hi.
03:57 Hello, I'm Nakayama, the director of Street Fighter VI.
04:02 We're super excited to talk to you today about Street Fighter VI.
04:05 We're all very excited for the addition of Akuma.
04:08 Looking at him, obviously his design has been updated quite a bit.
04:11 What character aspects did you have in mind when you were updating him?
04:16 [SPEAKING JAPANESE]
04:46 I agree, it's definitely visible in the new design.
04:49 He's a very iconic character, so seeing him get kind of a refreshed makeover like this, it's a very new, iconic look.
04:56 I'm a big fan of it.
04:57 But, you know, of course, Akuma ends the addition of Year One content.
05:01 So, looking back, how did you feel about the production of Year One, looking back on it?
05:06 [SPEAKING JAPANESE]
05:24 And I know players are definitely grateful for all the content that's been coming to the game.
05:28 Besides Akuma, what other elements are you adding into the game alongside him that you can tell us about?
05:33 [SPEAKING JAPANESE]
06:00 [SPEAKING JAPANESE]
06:20 Well, thank you so much for answering all of our questions.
06:23 I wish we could talk all day, but I know you're very busy.
06:25 So, thank you for taking the time out to join us for this interview, and I can't look forward to what Street Fighter VI has in the future.
06:31 [SPEAKING JAPANESE]
06:36 Thank you so much, Nakayama-san. It's always great to hear from you.
