M. Bison Stage Type B
Isao Abe & Syun Nishigaki · 01:35
The black Ryu represents Akuma, a muscular fighter wearing a black fighting uniform who shares a similar if more lethal moveset with his rival, Ryu. The stage represents Suzaku Castle, a training dojo run by Akuma's older brother, Gouken, who becomes Ryu and Ken's teacher and mentor. The music track represents the musical theme of M. Bison's stage, referencing how Akuma appears as a hidden boss in Super Street Fighter II Turbo, where he ambushes M. Bison and fights the player in his stead. The Defense ↓ rule and the first battle condition references how Akuma is one of the most powerful fighters in the Street Fighter series, who uses more powerful versions of the Ansatsuken fighting style empowered by the Satsui no Hado. The lower defense rule also reflects how Akuma typically has lower health values to offset his great strength. Other trivia: This spirit's Attack type references Akuma's extremely raw strength incorporated into his Satsui no Hado fighting style. In World of Light, the Akuma spirit is located in the Dracula's Castle map, likely referencing the demonic enemies in the Castlevania series as Akuma and his original Japanese name, Gouki each respectively can be translated to "Devil" and "Great Demon/Devil".
The brother of Ryu’s master, Akuma was obsessed with strength. Using the dark power of the Satsui no Hado, or Surge of Killing Intent, Akuma abandoned his humanity, killing Gouken and living only for the fight. Now he searches for a worthy opponent, with even M. Bison standing no chance. He has particular interest in Ryu, wanting to unleash his inner darkness to see his “true potential.”
