Capcom seems to be going all-in with the launch of Street Fighter 6<\/strong>\u2019s Akuma. Not only is Akuma the final playable character in Street Fighter 6\u2019s Year 1 roster, but his arrival also comes with some hefty balance changes to the game and cast.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To commemorate Akuma\u2019s addition to the game, Capcom will be holding a special Twitch event on its CapcomUSA channel<\/a> this May 21 at 4 PM PT called \u201cTwitch Plays Akuma.\u201d Based on the 2014 Twitch Plays Pok\u00e9mon social experiment, Twitch Plays Akuma will have viewers using Dynamic controls and commands to pilot Akuma. The event will most likely include fights against both CPU and player-controlled opponents which will put viewers (as well as the game\u2019s controls and netcode) to the test.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Twitch<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Twitch Plays Pok\u00e9mon was a chaotic good time <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For those who haven\u2019t heard of it, the first Twitch Plays Pok\u00e9mon was a social experiment held on February 12, 2014 on the video game streaming website Twitch<\/a>. By typing a series of commands into the chat box, viewers were able to control the player character on their journey to become a Pok\u00e9mon master. The experiment used a system that included an Internet Relay Chat (IRC) bot and a Game Boy emulator called VisualBoyAdvance that played Pok\u00e9mon Red. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It took 16 days for 1.16 million viewers to complete Pok\u00e9mon Red due to the inherent chaotic nature of the Internet. A Democracy mode was introduced during the Team Rocket hideout section in Celadon City because of the building\u2019s complex layout. Democracy mode tallied more specific inputs in chat for some time, whereupon the action with the majority vote would be executed by the game. Combined with the default Anarchy mode, the Twitch Plays Pok\u00e9mon Twitch channel<\/a> continues to allow viewers all over the globe to participate in hectic social gaming. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Akuma<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Twitch Plays Akuma will bring the social experiment to more competitive heights <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Twitch Plays Akuma is interesting mainly because of the type of genre it features. Unlike most of the mainline Pok\u00e9mon games which are primarily single-player, turn-based RPGs, Street Fighter titles are fast-paced, multiplayer fighting games. Even though the viewers will be using Street Fighter 6\u2019s Dynamic control scheme which is a mix of Modern and Classic controls, there is no way a Democracy mode can be implemented due to the immediacy of the combat. This means that every command given by the chat will be registered and executed as it happens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having thousands of viewers controlling a single character is chaotic enough but it should be noted that the stream will be coinciding with Akuma\u2019s launch. Save for the handful of people who got to try him before release, no one knows how the character works. Expect the first few hours of Twitch Plays Akuma to be filled with defeats and people figuring out the character, followed by tons of funny moments as the chat makes a raging demon move like a newborn baby. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
