SF6 ▰ PALADIN (#1 Ranked Ryu) vs PUNK (Akuma) ▰ High Level Gameplay 

Anyone else blown away by watching these two absolute monster players look like they’re re-enacting the lore?

9:40 helicopters helicopter

5:55 Akuma realizes he’s Akuma

"This guy is bad in neutrual" Punk, probably

It's crazy how punk really stood out against the best ryu player using Akuma for the very first time

4:46 that read was nuts

That double overhead block at the end was nuts

U can tell dude pissed punk off 😂😂

Ryu very strong this patch. No excuses for Ryu players now. Ryu ain't "weak" anymore. INB4 "But we have a rough time against zoning." Every character has bad matchups.

Punk's defense though!

The Real RYU VS AKUMA!

This is how I expect boss fights in games to be or the final showdown in a movie. This was wild

Luv me some paladin ryu. 💪🏽

Ryu has arose again !

Amazing what the top players can do literally day 1 with a new character. Punk is a legend.

With name like Paladin, he may never play as Akuma.

You're kidding me. That's Punk? I just played against him recently and had no clue it was him.

This game is the BEST! Go back in time and show that to me in '93 when we were standing in line to play SF2 and the "old ones" knew how to perform DP's and the smalls like me tried to figure out the "secret move"... so many Blanka vs Blanka double KOs from balling each other... I would ve killed my ... not but close... to be able to play a game like this one. Never understood "fan service"(*) as an expression. This game is serving fans what they want and it's what it should do. (*) of course I know what it means IRL when commonly used, please don't come at me for explaining this(*)

Every combo was well timed

I like the kabuki mask Akuma style. I played with someone that had it yesterday, I thought it was cool.

This entire fight looked like it was scripted by the devs. Phenomenal

This E. Honda is kinda.. different.

I predict this game will give us moments comparable to Evo37... pretty soon... it's very cleaverly done to be good to play, good to watch and prone to creating amazing action situations... on big screens

That skin for akuma looks so fucking cool

9:43 essa é a jogada suprema do Akuma 😂😂

@1:03 that was a gangster setup 🫡

Probably Punk's first time using Akuma too... 😏

bad ass punk... nice move u got there... 👍🏼

Ryu needs a new tool that will break open an opponent's defense.

Fantastic gameplay.

As in the rivalry btw Ryu n akuma skyrocketed

Punk not in legend in 2 minutes? Bro fell off fr

I'm trying to understand what happend at the 54-57 second mark. What exchange of moves happened there?

I don remember no Akuma wearing mommy apron...

It feels wrong when Punk play as Akuma

3:34 should have air fireballed or demon flip dive kicked. Punk playing Akuma real basic

10:00 he was supposed to Cr.HP into M tatsu lol this my favorite wall combo

Akuma looks like he’s wearing a dress in that costume

My goodness

That patience by punk at the end

There was a fight between knuckledu n paladin on wed 5/22 that was amazing! Can u upload that one?

Is this a real game? With all the freezes in gameplay it looks like intro or something with crazy cutscenes. is this a special version?

Next step, nerf Akuma by withdrawing another -100hp... I guarantee it's gonna happen within 2 months... or maybe -50... or another nerf. He's back, everyone is hyped AF Ok now, make him payable against

If u play ryu, there’s really no reason to play akuma

Dat Akuma damage doah.

7:07 *Shindeiru...* 💀

16:51 random level 3 super couldn't block lag switch flowchart.

Why Akuma sounds like Ken after Shin Shoriuken?

Mr Karate Akuma

punk's akuma looking good

Akuma only came out yesterday😭how do people have him at legend already

In 6 games Punk did only 1 demon flip and zero teleports. He’s a fundys guy.

9:44平八かな

Akuma tá começando a ficar afiado

Capcom: look our latest release...cripled akuma kkkk

what does the number'th above the 'LEGEND' icon mean?

Of course it'd be the worst akuma skin...

9:43 parece o Heihachi .

Man that Oni outfit Akuma has makes his legs look blooded

Ryu top 1 so strong!

It looks like Ryu mirror fight but pink one has less utilities, damage and health idk why Punk doesn't uses Akuma abilities mb it some kind of mind games, but I'm not good with this game enough to understand this move

Does anyone else think akuma is saying this sucks

Je rêve d'un pary aerien

Punks new main.😂😂😂😂

How does ryu do more damage than akuma? If that's the case then give akuma more health

I really like Akuma, but is health and power are so bad.

Paladin doesnt eveb use denjin at all

how is it possible to be on legend in less then 24 hours of the character release lol

Is he allergic to demon flip or air fireball??

Punk's my guy but his shotos are always boring. Never brings the tech with em.

Punk has always been boring to watch but his Akuma gameplay definitely takes the cake for most boring Akuma

Ryu is Syrian?

Ryu is too much boring tbh,and with this update he's even more boring

MenaRD the father of Punk

Paladin is trash

bro DI is cringe as hell this game blows

Ryu es bueno
