Street Fighter 6 – A.K.I. Character Guide Details Poison-Focused Play-Style

Capcom will release the second DLC fighter for Street Fighter 6, A.K.I., next week. While we’ve seen some of her combos, a new Character Guide video (which also appears in-game) has been released, providing more in-depth information. Check it out below.

A.K.I. utilizes Snake Fist Kung Fu and moves erratically, making her difficult to track. Poison is her main calling card, as an opponent slowly loses vitality when poisoned. The effect disappears after some time, but you can also dispel it by attacking A.K.I. Of course, the latter can detonate the poison for more damage with Toxic Blossom, leading to follow-up strikes.

Some of the more worthwhile abilities include Nightshade Pulse, a projectile that poisons enemies, while Nightshader Chaser is a mid-range attack that triggers Toxic Blossom. Using an Overdrive Nightshade Pulse gives it multiple hits, allowing you to close in on an opponent with a Drive Rush just as it hits.

A.K.I. is available on September 27th standalone and for Year 1 Character Pass holders. Stay tuned for more details in the coming days and check out her Fighting Pass here.
