Mesmo esquema da primeira DLC só que muito melhor, Asura literalmente devolve um hadouken no soco e espanca o Akuma na tela branca.

Same thing as the other lost episode. Short, bonus points for SF gameplay and some nice noss fight moments.

This DLC consists of two parts - a fight against Akuma where Asura's movements are confined to 2D as if he were in a Street Fighter game, and a boss fight against Akuma using the normal gameplay mechanics of Asura's Wrath. Prevailing in both unlocks more challenges for the Street Fighter mini-game.

The Akuma boss fight is really hard! It retains the absurd flavor of the boss fights of the main game, but I put it on Easy just to finish it.

If you want the achievement that comes with the DLC, you need to do all the Street Fighter challenges, and they are a pain - and more demanding than the Ryu DLC. KO Akuma with reduced health, without getting hit, then KO'ing Akuma 10 times in a row with minimal healing, etc.

The pain comes from the discrepancy between Asura's abilities and Akuma's in this mode. Akuma has multiple striking zones, the ability to block, invincibility in certain animations, multiple projectiles, and the ability to counter with attacks immediately out of certain animations. Asura has the same button mashy moveset from his character action base game, which means no ability to block, a useless dodge, and get-up animations balanced for a different environment. It gets pretty frustrating! But it shouldn't take you more than an hour or two to figure what needs to be done.

I'd only recommend this to fans of Street Fighter, (which I am not), or people who want to 100% all that Asura's Wrath has to offer, (weirdos like me.) Should have been Chun Li.
