This clip of Akuma's teleport in Street Fighter 6 might reveal how Capcom actually intends for it to be used

In case you haven't heard, Akuma has joined Street Fighter 6, and with him brought a ton of tools for battle. Among a couple of new tricks up his tattered sleeves, Akuma also has some returning classic maneuvers, such as his teleport, that he'll be able to utilize against his foes in combat.

Capcom made some interesting changes to Akuma's teleport here in Street Fighter 6, most notably making it weaker (than we're used to) by stripping it of all of its invincibility. This left fans wonder what all it could or should even be used for, and a new clip from some recent Akuma footage might actually hold the key to revealing how Capcom intended this move to be used here in the latest iteration in the franchise.

A Dream King combo video send off for Street Fighter 6 Season 1

It has been a very interesting year of Street Fighter 6. From raw Drive Rush shenanigans, Perfect Parries becoming really strong, and 2-touches, there has been a lot to discuss and learn here in the initial year of the game's hopefully long lifespan.

King of Fighters 15 version 2.32 patch notes

Patch notes for King of Fighters 15 version 2.32 have been released. Those within the Street Fighter 6 community have mused on X (formerly known as Twitter) how SNK were able to release their patch notes before Capcom, being that fans are currently waiting for the Street Fighter 6 Season 2 patch notes.
