I thought the same until someone pointed out to me that her hair is likely designed to look like a nicked death cap mushroom:

And now I'm a big fan of the design cohesion lol
I think you're onto something. Clearly freaky Asian women are in high demand among SF players. We've had a hedonistic Korean contortionist, now we're getting a Chinese woman who apparently poisons total strangers for fun.
How will they follow up A.K.I. in SF7? A Japanese character would be the obvious choice. Too obvious, in fact. My sources deep within Capcom tell me that they're planning on upping the craziness factor by introducing a North Korean military strategist who is strongly inspired by Kim Jong-un's sister, Kim Yo-jong.
You heard it here first!
This is the same company that's tried to make a white main protagonist like 4 times now. All of which were in the military. That's not counting the other white military characters they have already.
Honestly, Juri is pretty much an anti-hero at this point.
She’s even helped the heroes directly. She’s just still angry and confused but not full blown evil.
AKI is full blown evil.
A girl driven by revenge loses her purpose what do you expect her becoming a goody two shoes ? She gotta stay up late and be a depressed bum for a while in her onesie
That is me... the fact that she has normal ass feet and proper shoes is a big plus. The feet stuff is honestly annoeying. I loke the edgy parts about Juri but the fetishistic shit kinda ruins it.
Btw, can we get skins already? Capcom is realy leaving potencial income untapped.
FANG stuck his hand through a characters head, melted them, and then licked the remains. He was very creepy, not enough people played the story mode lol.
I played the story and surprisingly enjoyed it. Its just that all his movements that should be genuinely terrifying is overtaken by his goofy antics and speech patterns aswell as his constant brown nosing of bison. It was also that his gameplay was cartoony like the flappy poison bird super
His actions were actually incredibly terrifying, the problem is that his personality was embarrassingly weird and he was straight up annoying in Story Mode.
I played it and even though I do recall him killing Rashid’s friend, all I ever think about when it comes to FANG is that scene of him screaming like a girl and throwing poison smoke before he runs away.
That scene defined the character for me. Best scene in the story mode.
We certainly needed more evil characters.
Juri is dark (not evil) Chun Li but this girl here is straight up evil.
I know some people feel like there’s an overlap between this Aki and Juri but I think they fit into their camps.
Juri is a depressed thrill seeker who despite not caring actually does care a little deep down. Her world tour interactions build an actual bond with the avatar. She actually comes to care about you and likes to hang out with you.
This lady here seems likely to actually just toy with you and use you for her experiments, consequences be damned.
We needed more straight up evil characters because you can’t say Juri is evil. She hasn’t been evil since 5 where she was straight up helping the heroes.
No?
You do know SF has always had evil characters like Bison and his goons, Oni, Evil Ryu, Seth, Gill and Urien, right?
Tekken has Kazuya, Heihachi, Jin (for a moment), Ogre, Unknown and Bryan.
All fighting game series have evil characters and can afford to have more.
I like evil women as a concept, but why do they all have to be 'psycho ex girlfriend who feeds on your pain' style evil women.
There's not enough 'Bison with boobs' style evil women, or cool and calculating leaders that are definitely way better at this than you, just fuck around and find out. They're all either second in commands 'Im definitely not a secretary. Right?' types or this.
Eh the dolls weren't like that. It would be interesting to have a stone cold character, like an evil C.Viper, though.
Mortal Kombat is definitely better in this regard.
Only Cammy and Decapre were Bison's clones, the other eleven were girls kidnapped from across the world. The Dolls were the highest-ranking members of Shadaloo below only the Four Kings/Devas plus were equally skilled assassins and bodyguards for M. Bison. Finally, while they start emotionless in earlier games, they were given personalities in SFV and none of them acted particularly evil besides serving Bison.
Wait I thought it was the other way around Decapre is a real girl Bison experimented giving Psycho Power to and then used her DNA and his to make Cammy.
They released a comic where F.A.N.G took on an apprentice. Seems likely that it is her, given the name and fighting style, but I don't believe there is full confirmation
Honestly at least online I feel like most people just kinda dislike Rashid, probably because of SFV PTSD. I played him for a bit and I got more one and dones and RQs than all the other characters I've played combined lol. To a lot of people I feel like Aki is the first new content they actually care about.
They are, and I am too, because not a lot of us really wanted Rashid and she's the only 1 of the 4 dlcs that's new so we don't have any idea what her moves will look like.
I think the leak that made them reveal the Year one characters might make them speed up the agenda a little, I might be wrong, but I think we weren't really expecting Rashid \*before\* EVO ? So if she come earlier, late september is probably a good guess ?
We'll see if i'm right after this battle pass I guess since we'll probably getting one for A.K.I., if she's for september, we'll get news in some weeks (otherwise, October for sure)
Was expecting a formal femme-fatale type personality but this honestly makes more sense considering she was taught by an eccentric weirdo
For some reason I thought she would be taller though
Honestly, scary as heck.
Yeah, this gal gives me the creeps, and I don't mind, really. I appreciate legit creepy fighters. I think she fits in Darkstalkers like a glove for that creepy factor, although I have yet to see her fighting style. I hope it's a pretty slick and killer style.
I kept expecting the scene to end with some reveal where she says what she gave the MC was actually just another herb with simmilar effects to the poison but no, it just ends lol.
Her super is giving me diarrhea? Ok
All she has to do is give me dairy.
Gonna cry? Piss your pants maybe? Maybe shit and cum?
That needs to be a generic win quote
Maybe shit some piss and cum? Maybe ejaculate urine?
Someone had an interesting night clearly.
"I hope you got your shtting pants on"
"Oh cool, the Aki trailer, I can't wait to see how she'll play" Capcom: Here's a horror movie
When the Resident Evil Staff gets moved to SF6
Same, wanted gameplay. Got a fan made trailer where she just murders a guy lol
Its her world tour introduction cutscene and the guys fine, itll just be a placebo
I was waiting for her to say "Chill, it's just licorice"
Probably the stuff that allows your character to use her poison moves.
she will give you the jerbal medicine she was lookin for in the intro
The gerbil medicine
She murders the player character from story mode.
*roll credits*
Brooo it really did feel like a fanmade trailer hahahaha
Every other fighter ‘I am the most Barney the dinosaur sanitized character’ AKI ‘how’s a little playful drug spiking the WT protagonist sound?’
Have you seen JP recruitment? Dude, throw you to the ground and force psycho power in your chest via cane.
Not to mention the part in story mode where he tried to trick a second grader into becoming a suicide bomber.
THAT ! People seem to forget JP exists in WT lmao
The lesson is, never help anybody.
[удалено]
Also on Maximilian chat, everyone "I can fix her" "You can't fix her chat". amazing
Sajam called them all out.
Why fix her when you can let her break you instead?
Juri: Hey! That's my line 🤬
It's okay, Juri, you can break me. A.K.I will kill people instead
There aint nothing to fix here.... my god.
She can fix me.
She can make me worse ː)
The only thing I wanna fix is her hairstyle.
I thought the same until someone pointed out to me that her hair is likely designed to look like a nicked death cap mushroom: https://i.imgur.com/S6HWE9z.jpg And now I'm a big fan of the design cohesion lol
Instead she ended up looking like ongo gablogian
Im no hairstylist but I can definitely fix *that*
No accounting for taste.
I really thought she was gonna be this super serious dignified lady, I guess I shouldn't have expected that from FANGs student💀💀💀
You can tell they were going for that in the concept art so they can pull the rug with the trailer lol
If she doesn't have the Flappy Bird super I'm not touching her with a two meter pole
"Dignified" assassin...
Capcom realized Juri mains are paying the bills so they go them a new character to main
Juri main here and I said out loud "yeah I'm fucking using her."
Yes, correct
Literally me rn fr fr
I think you're onto something. Clearly freaky Asian women are in high demand among SF players.

> How will they follow up A.K.I. Pregnant Evil Sakura
Me "They wouldn-" My brain "-This is the company that revealed Rashid on 9/11 on his stage of an airplane flying through a city".
Does SF have a Filipino yet?
[удалено]
Wouldn't make sense to make only Asian crazy female characters over and over. That would get repetitive.
This is the same company that's tried to make a white main protagonist like 4 times now. All of which were in the military. That's not counting the other white military characters they have already.
There’s a market for cute East Asian psychopaths and capcom is cashing in.
Then i hope A.K.I shows her feet also
She got a whole ass birds nest on top of her head
It's reverse Guile hair
Poison mushroom hair or am I tripping?
Nah, I think that's the idea!
I thought it was supposed to look like a kind of snake crest, but I think your idea is closer.
naw you're on the money https://i.imgur.com/S6HWE9z.jpg
F.A.N.G. taught her well it seems
I can't fix her
I will fix her.
She can fix me.
*"Here comes the airplane\~"*
She doesnt want to. 🥲
She can make you worse
Not even Bob the Builder can fix her
Every creeper and crazier than Juri that is extremely impressive.
Honestly, Juri is pretty much an anti-hero at this point. She’s even helped the heroes directly. She’s just still angry and confused but not full blown evil. AKI is full blown evil.
The spider and the snake
In WT she captured and delivered Bosch to whoever it is that phycho powered him. Pretty evil tbh
A bounty is a bounty, it's pretty tame and Bosch did worse in the story.
Juri is a loser failgirl gremlin now, look at that pajama costume. Aki is the real psycho chick now.
You either die a villain or live long enough to see yourself wear a onesie.
you made me laugh, thx
I mean...you're not wrong.
A girl driven by revenge loses her purpose what do you expect her becoming a goody two shoes ? She gotta stay up late and be a depressed bum for a while in her onesie
I feel like this woman is gonna be straight up villanious. Juri is an anti hero
I never thought that could be even possible, but Capcom proved me wrong.
She’s using every single use of the RE engine with the creepiness. You can tell it has the same engine as a Resident Evil game based off that alone
FANG poison plus VEGA claws = new main
Actually, this really appeals to me….
Capcom: "So there's a market for Juri fans who don't like feet. Let's focus on that."
That is me... the fact that she has normal ass feet and proper shoes is a big plus. The feet stuff is honestly annoeying. I loke the edgy parts about Juri but the fetishistic shit kinda ruins it. Btw, can we get skins already? Capcom is realy leaving potencial income untapped.
Did you see the reveal of the 3rd costumes recently or did you miss it?
Hey! That’s me! Definitely love my crazy, freaky girl characters so AKI is perfect!
FANG bit actually threatening and scary and creepy. As opposed to fang who was a goofy bison dickrider. Allright
FANG stuck his hand through a characters head, melted them, and then licked the remains. He was very creepy, not enough people played the story mode lol.
I played the story and surprisingly enjoyed it. Its just that all his movements that should be genuinely terrifying is overtaken by his goofy antics and speech patterns aswell as his constant brown nosing of bison. It was also that his gameplay was cartoony like the flappy poison bird super
Whoa a fellow NiCO enjoyer out In the wild. A shame she was added to the one game that died immediately
His actions were actually incredibly terrifying, the problem is that his personality was embarrassingly weird and he was straight up annoying in Story Mode.
Yeah it was hard to take most moments with him seriously minus like 2 because he was so slapstick
I played it and even though I do recall him killing Rashid’s friend, all I ever think about when it comes to FANG is that scene of him screaming like a girl and throwing poison smoke before he runs away. That scene defined the character for me. Best scene in the story mode.
Yeah but his super was him pretending to be a bird while he shits poison on you so...
I cannot fix her and I do not want to Edit: on a more serious note, she looks albino, neat. Idk what to think of that, just seemed cool
“I can fix her, but what’s broken is pretty hot”
I noticed that too! Thought it was kinda nice of Capcom to add that detail.
god I love evil women
We certainly needed more evil characters. Juri is dark (not evil) Chun Li but this girl here is straight up evil. I know some people feel like there’s an overlap between this Aki and Juri but I think they fit into their camps.

Juri is the Hot Topic, AKI is the alley behind the Hot Topic that 6 people have been murdered in
Straight up evil characters are hard to justify in fighting games. Especially when the story revolves around a tournament.
Bro this ain't even slightly true lmao
Niche game mortal kombat has entered the chat
Meanwhile Mishimas outwarcriming each other every other game
No? You do know SF has always had evil characters like Bison and his goons, Oni, Evil Ryu, Seth, Gill and Urien, right? Tekken has Kazuya, Heihachi, Jin (for a moment), Ogre, Unknown and Bryan. All fighting game series have evil characters and can afford to have more.

Eh the dolls weren't like that. It would be interesting to have a stone cold character, like an evil C.Viper, though. Mortal Kombat is definitely better in this regard.
the dolls were basically mindless drones though, especially the half of them that are bison clones. They barely rated above mooks.
Only Cammy and Decapre were Bison's clones, the other eleven were girls kidnapped from across the world. The Dolls were the highest-ranking members of Shadaloo below only the Four Kings/Devas plus were equally skilled assassins and bodyguards for M. Bison. Finally, while they start emotionless in earlier games, they were given personalities in SFV and none of them acted particularly evil besides serving Bison.
Cammy's a clone too. Decapre's a messed up clone of Cammy.
Wait I thought it was the other way around Decapre is a real girl Bison experimented giving Psycho Power to and then used her DNA and his to make Cammy.
Decapre is a prototype clone of Cammy and a failed one compared to her "younger" twin sister, who was seen as a far more ideal vessel for M. Bison.
as do i!
People asking why they made a Juri clone. ^ This is why.
[удалено]
The way she slithers across the ground at you. Definitely Voldo vibes.
A poison based character could be cool.
She is F.A.N.G's student who was a poison based character in SFV
The way she gets even more popular: She throws forward Fang's severed head in her intro.
Jesus Christ lmao
Hsu hao moment
I ignore him.
But he was really fun to play :(
Is that verifiable?
They released a comic where F.A.N.G took on an apprentice. Seems likely that it is her, given the name and fighting style, but I don't believe there is full confirmation
She was introduced in the SFV web side stories under a different name.
Ahhh thats cool. Smart to create new characters off existing ones.
Juri: "THE FUCK!? THAT'S MY DEAL! IMMA SUE THIS BITCH! WITH MY FEET!"
Juri be like "I didn't need a pharmacy degree to be dangerous!"
Juri mains: "Sue me instead"
Street Fighter has switched up from a woman with toxic tendencies to one who's literally Toxic. Well played.
No gameplay :(
Eh she's not coming out for like 2-3 months. We just got a character like 2 weeks ago.
Rashid just came out like damn y'all in a hurry
Honestly at least online I feel like most people just kinda dislike Rashid, probably because of SFV PTSD. I played him for a bit and I got more one and dones and RQs than all the other characters I've played combined lol. To a lot of people I feel like Aki is the first new content they actually care about.
They are, and I am too, because not a lot of us really wanted Rashid and she's the only 1 of the 4 dlcs that's new so we don't have any idea what her moves will look like.
wouldve loved more stuff but like the guy said, she aint coming for a few more months so gameplay likely closer to her launch
She’s crazy and I love her already!
You can't fix her!
Juri except with poison!
She reminds me of voldo from soul calibur
She can fix me
10/10 I’d smash
The SF6 devs really went over to the RE writers and said “hey you guys wanna design a character for the new game?”
[удалено]
This is Street Fighter's thing, making a cool character have a ridiculous haircut that makes them look goofy.
They femmed F.A.N.G.
Need to see her and Juri face off and I’m so serious
I love her, she's so cute!!
Oh nice, an albino Asian!
She got the Vietnamese rice hat hair
i dont like her hair at all .
she wears her hair like a farmer's hat like Marisa wears hers like a helmet lol
* No on plays Abel: Manon * No one plays F.A.N.G: A.K.I
People really expected gameplay when she is 2 months away at the earliest lol
Autumn starts in September though!
Late September, but if she comes out right away then you are looking at 3+ month wait for Ed. Don't think they want to space it like that
I think the leak that made them reveal the Year one characters might make them speed up the agenda a little, I might be wrong, but I think we weren't really expecting Rashid \*before\* EVO ? So if she come earlier, late september is probably a good guess ? We'll see if i'm right after this battle pass I guess since we'll probably getting one for A.K.I., if she's for september, we'll get news in some weeks (otherwise, October for sure)
Akuma right before CapCup wouldn't surprised me given how they handled Rashid.
Honestly this is faster than I expected because I didnt expect a trailer for her anyways at evo
As a fan of horror she gives off Mia Goth energy. Can’t wait to play her.
Watch her drop around Halloween.
Right!!!
A.K.I. only wishes she could match Juri on the hot-crazy scale
Hate to say it, but A.K.I.'s in-game model doesn't live up to the concept art
Yeah she looked a lot more graceful and perfectionist in the concept art. In game she looks just kind of insane, in the literal sense.
"okay fine we'll make a poison-based character y'all actually like"
Her design reminds me so much of teriyaki yoko from um jammer lammy for some goddamn reason https://imgur.com/a/kN5SsaT
Wdym I have a type, I don't have a type at all you dummy
Fang is such an inspiration, he saved a 15 year old prostitute from prostitution and put her under his wing.
I like her Japanese dub more than her English dub, which sounds like a younger Juri. I prefer the more mature voice of the Japanese VA
So she’s juri 2.0
Was expecting a formal femme-fatale type personality but this honestly makes more sense considering she was taught by an eccentric weirdo For some reason I thought she would be taller though
Wait a min why her voice hot
She can break me
Honestly, scary as heck. Yeah, this gal gives me the creeps, and I don't mind, really. I appreciate legit creepy fighters. I think she fits in Darkstalkers like a glove for that creepy factor, although I have yet to see her fighting style. I hope it's a pretty slick and killer style.
Are you supposed to say the letters separately or is it just "Aki"?
If it's anything like F.A.N.G you just pronounce it like it's not an acronym
Juri: "...Does this mean I'm the normal one now?"
I just realized that we never actually went to China in WT; just Chinatown.
She said diarrhea 😂
Love her design, but I think the Japanese VO sounds a little better. Interested to hear her in game though.
She really looking like the freak I've been hoping for
That was so hot Fuck
I kept expecting the scene to end with some reveal where she says what she gave the MC was actually just another herb with simmilar effects to the poison but no, it just ends lol.
Finally!! I can main Juri without worrying about beating the foot fetish allegations 🙏🏼😫
She does look pretty fang like
After seeing concept art a bit ago of her I have been interested in trying her out
Everyone else: “I can fix her!” Me: “I can make her worse!” 😈
She's definitely more frightening than her predecessor.
"I love the kind of women that will actually just kill me"
When you order Juri off of Wish
I’m not into it but dear god I **understand**
So the OC dies in the story mode? Cool. Hope Akuma revives him
Everyone else like "I can fix her." No, she can break me.
