SHIN AKUMA DESTROYED ME...

Justin Wong takes on all three difficulty levels of Shin Akuma in Street Fighter 6, pushing the CPU to maximum and discovering just how brutal this boss-tier version of the character can be. What starts as confidence quickly turns into a lesson in humility as Shin Akuma's devastating offense and access to enhanced moves overwhelm the usual strategies. The video captures the full arc of the fight—early momentum shifts into desperate scrambles as Akuma's pressure mounts. Viewers picked up on the 90s arcade boss vibe, where unfair-feeling tools and relentless aggression define the challenge. The clip works as both a character study of how Shin Akuma scales at maximum difficulty and a showcase of why modern fighting games benefit from bringing back that punishing, "impossible" difficulty spike that older Street Fighter games were known for. Between the high-stakes moments and the clear gap between expectations and reality, this becomes less about a guaranteed win and more about survival against a version of Akuma designed to dominate.
