It Was Actually True... | AKUMA in Resident Evil 2 

This time, the resident is actually evil...

Akuma isn't trapped in a room full of zombies.... the room full of zombies is trapped with Akuma

Can't believe Akuma had his Street Fighter 4 voice all the way back in 1998 when they totally put him in RE2 for real. Truly, Capcom was ahead of their time.

The greatest trick Akuma ever pulled was convincing RE2 fans that he doesn’t exist.

"How did you even capture Akuma?" - Everyone "He was taking a dump." - Umbrella Corp

Game modding is making all these April Fool's pranks a reality and I'm here for it

Umbrella hid Akuma better then they hid their entire facility.

Shoryuken doesn't punch the zombies heads off? Missed opportunity

Imagine, Leon is in the lab running away from Mr. X, when all of a sudden, Akuma accidentally saves him, by Raging Demoning Mr. X into oblivion.

Finally, Akuma gets to punch some zombies. Hsien-Ko helped him train for this in Pocket Fighter.

Imagine hitting Mr.X with the Demon, and when the symbol lights up all you see is his top hat flipping through the air.

1:34:35 As soon as I heard that voice line, I knew it was Kazuya. That iconic voice line straight from Tekken 4.

At 1:34:30 Akuma: My fist, my Hado... has no equals. Kazuya: (offscreen) Nonsense. After that... Max's reaction 😅

What they could have done with stage 3 birkin was adding akumas rival dialogue against ogre from sfxt "You pitiful creature, prove to me your worth."

The fact that RE2 Remake had no Akuma Mode is a travesty.

The timing of the Ultraaaaa Commmmbooooooo was amazing.

Usually, Resident Evil is a run away from the zombies game, but with Akuma here, it's now a zombies run away from me game.

Modders: We can't decompile Akuma, its disrespectul & innopropriate. Max: Screw the rules, I have money!

Truly the most important part of the Akuma Legacy

In Yakuza, Majima is everywhere In CAPCOM, Akuma is everywhere

People: It's an April Fools Joke. It's not real. Modders: And I took that personally....

Looking at the mod on moddb and saw this "Akuma title announcer by Maximillian_Dood". Didn't notice it when I heard it. 5:50 "Guys voice sounds really dumb" lol

Leon: first day on the job, zombies everywhere, this can't get any worse Akuma: MESSATSU Leon: I'm quitting tomorrow morning, fuck this

“Smash the like button kiss my ass”-Max “CHOCOLATE!”-Akuma If we get an RE5 Remake I demand a Max and Akuma mod

“You are literally coming into direct contact with the Demon.” *SourceNext Jingle* Bruh. The timing 🤣

Thank you for this wonderful adventure, Max ! We're so pleased with the incredible reception that the mod has gotten.

The amount of times Max has bought something to make it into reality has me now realize something. Max is the MrBeast of the FGC.

Bro I love how when Max tried to save the game akuma was like screw that lol

Akuma was the one that kick started the crossover genre! Its only fitting that he show thr Residents how Evil he really is!

@5:59 that’s the music from Street Fighter 2V. Kinda cool little mod

And I remember seeing that in the magazine when I was 8yrs old, so to see it now as a adult fully in motion is amazing withnin itself.

Even though Max insisted a hundred times during the run that the Akuma mode was real and the modders only un-glitched the access.... I still feel like what I just saw was a complete fanwork (secret ending and special zombies nonwithstanding). Regardless, that was beautiful!

His Jamiroquai teleports are rather satisfying.

This is the coolest and funniest thing i've seen in a while. The part at around 18:30 with the multiple mr X's just beating up akuma together is a hilarious sight to see. Also the slide away cracks me up. Love this 10/10

I remember attempting to find Akuma in RE2 back in the day. Awesome to see this mod make it a reality.

I remember falling for the Sonic and Tails being in Smash Melee April fools joke.

Modders truly make dreams come true. Seeing that EGM Akuma unlock page took me way back, and my inner child is SQUEEING at seeing this be made real.

I hope Max never retires. By far my favorite content creator

My headcanon: Akuma was sent by Albert Wesker to clean up the entire Racoon City, while somehow Kazuya who got an offer by the BSAA to get the sample for the G Virus mainly just to get him more devil power And these two clash til Tekken 7, while Wesker just eliminated Akuma out of his list and change to Ada Wong ---------------------- , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , . Just for edit for Pocket fighters lore: Turned out it was Hsien Ko who showed him the place for his training and it's the forest near the Spencer Mansion... so that's how Akuma met Wesker

I like how the modders able to put Street Fighter Animations like the hadouken shoryuken and tatsumaki senpu kyaku and that ending though 👍🏻👏.

1:00:29 was anyone else dying when max died. This was like max having his Lego set kicked over. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The mighty Akuma has found his ultimate opponent...POOCHES 🐶!!!! 😂 21:35

One of the only EGM pranks that I seriously entertained being true after the era of Sheng Long and Ermac, since the screenshots looked so legit (and I'd honestly forgotten that Akuma was in Street Fighter EX, allowing them access to a 3D model to fake the screenshots), so this provides me a nice bit of closure on that front. Bless you, Max.

The prophecy has been fulfilled.

The sarcasm in the beginning is gold

“And at this point, almost taboo….but I paid them….so they were ok with it.” 😂

So glad i found this. Stuck in jury duty and now i have something to look foward to when i get home.

That raging demon intro was fire !

I’m sorry… I wha.. Akuma in RE. Wtf, just put Akuma in everything at this point XD.

19:53 I love that Akuma's reaction to being startled is to enter a fighting pose lmao

When i saw this yesterday on RU-vid, i was like, "Wait til this get around to Max, he gon have a field day!" 🤣🤣

I had that issue of EGM. It was an April fools joke we all fell for back then being like 15 at the time. The excitement was unreal until you realized you were a fool. An OG troll of the highest tier livin' rent free to this day.

Modders, never stop doing what you're doing. This was so freaking cool. It would have been even cooler if Akuma could do a Raging Demon against Mr. X OR William Berkin.

44:38 & 41:18 Oh my gosh we found it claire and leon is zombies character cameo most RE2 in akuma mode amazing work love it!

This is the best moment I've ever seen in my life! It went from being a Capcom joke to bringing Akuma into reality in the world of Resident Evil. These modders are incredible! He's giving them Gohadokens to zombies, and shoryuken them into orbit. All that is left is giving the Raging Demon to Mr X.

This is hilarious because the first video he did with Akuma COTA with him talking about this article and myth is one of my favorite videos by him ! He was getting his ass WHOOPED by Colassus and Iceman 🤣This is crazy , and I’m here for it tbh.😂😂

Ahhh yes, the ol "unlock akuma" April fools joke. As a kid, I thought this was 100% legit.

Capcom: Akuma, can we use you in RE2 Akuma: Shoryuken

I was waiting for this! After over 2 decades, Akuma is finally unlocked!

The beginning of this modded adventure now makes me wish for a Tyrant Akuma mod in UMvC3 where its just akuma infected with the T virus

I remember when RE2 was first being promoted, before the redesign, and I might still have a couple of the old GamePro issues. Even all these years later I never heard of this rumor. Gotta give credit to the modders because this was absolutely insane, especially the ending.

5:30 大 means 'big'. 天 is the kanji that means 'heaven'.

"Casually messatsu a child." _- a random memelord on the internet_

Zombie apocalypse is a better world than one where Akuma exists

Fun fact:The punch is Code Veronica knife levels of strong.

I like to believe that Akuma has such a hard time with the dogs, because he loves dogs and really doesn't want to kill them.

Now we just need to see Leon in street fighter y’all.

He's even scarier than the zombies and monsters

I waited 25 years for this. IT's about damn time! Also last thing akuma needs is a gun, but I guess that makes him deadlier.

In before Akuma finds a way to infiltrate other Resident Evil games and meets all new opponents

Akuma's greatest weakness.. Dogs... 😂😂😂

Akuma with tank controls, sounds like a nightmare.

Call an Ambulance, not for AKUMA, but for yourself.

I love that in the end, G-Birkin responded to getting zoned to shit by Akuma by morphing into his one weakness. A dog.

I firmly believe that Akuma, by his determination alone is immune to any virus Umbrella can come up with

It feels like Max has been playing RE2 every other week recently and I am here for it.

HAHA!! I've only just finished watching the vid of the Akuma mode mod, after seeing your name show up in the credits I wondered what you'd think of this. One minute later, here's the vid!

I love how he misread 大 (big) for 天 (heaven) and said "Die? Are we gonna die? That means heaven, bro." Because 大 is written as "dai," which sounds like "die." What a coincidence (for a second I thought he could read kanji)!

The amount of people not understanding this is a high quality mod and Max is just joking is highly concerning

I did this as a kid not realizing it was a joke, and let me tell you, I remember being so pissed cause I spent months trying to complete the requirements only to not get rewarded with my fireballs.

I wonder if Akuma is in Resident Evil 2 Remake? Imagine that.

Now this is real coolest legacy you have ever done

"but i paid them so they're okay with it" is such a funny statement

Man.. i remember this 😂 The April's fool joke..but THIS?!! IS FREAKING AWESOME!!

Casually Messatsu the B.O.W

Bro is that SF 2V music. God i wish that had an official bluray release

I say he lost the first run because he snubbed the blue herb and immediately got rocked for it

Man fuck that April fools joke, that was bs lmfao I'm still salty about that, I was so hyped about trying to unlock him, my brother's and I tried everything (even the game shark) to unlock this dude They got us good, I miss those days Remember when you wete rewarded with an unlockable after beating the game when you meet certain requirements? Now it's just microtransactions and surprise mechanics, sad era of gaming for sure

Akuma is the nuke that hit Racoon City.

This was the game Akuma was born to be in!

1:39 they got DEEP in the duffy

Akuma enjoyers eatin' good this month

The biggest threat in the resident evil u inverse, a 5 foot tall demon man with the power of the Satsui no Hado!

Umbrella makes Hadoken ammo

That Street Fighter II V theme at the start though

Was this just an over-elaborate excuse for Max to just play RE2 on stream again after the randomizer lmao?

6:47 Akuma now comes in spanish - Max

I’m sorry… I wha.. Akuma in RE. Wtf, just put Akuma in everything at this point XD

Now someone needs to mod the RE2 remake with SF6 Akuma. The evade should be the Asura Senku teleport and allow him to go through any hits (can cancel into melees) The different weapons should be hado, fists and feet. Hado can be single shot. Double shot (mash) or burning shot (charge) Fist aiming up (shoryuken), aim Mid (the new fire fist attack in SF6), aim down (a his karate chop into the floor) Feet. Aim up (his launcher kick from SF5), Aim mid (a 2 hitting Tatsumaki/similar to his SF6 double heavy kick), Aim low (Heavy Sweep) Also if he get grabbed his counters can be based on his grabs in the game like shoulder toss, somersault throw, the hellfire wheel, the palm strike, the head/spine chop and the demon flip grabs too.

This is a fever dream.
