Eww no he does not. His new raging demon animation alone makes him look much better in SFV.
youre probably the only person that thinks this tbh.
EDIT: Oh wait, I forgot about LoneDragon
I wouldn't say that, and I'll say that you can fix akuma's character design in two seconds
One, take his dumb front pony tail out and let that hair hang back like an actual mane,
two , give him a beard. Like a big boy beard that covers the lower sides of his face and goes into the main
three make sides of his mane , gray
there you go capcom , pay me.
I feel like akuma's design is doin too much, and all he needed was a beard and long hair so he looked like a mountain man/lion man. They didn't need the extra, I feel like this them trying to emulate some stuff two hard and it ending up lame

I haven't spent a dime on SFV. I don't have Kolon or Special Ed. Hell I don't have Rog, Ibuki, Alex, and Juri. I have Akuma though cause he was free in December.

I actually booted up USF4 today, and played a little with my brother. We were just looking at the different ultras and I'd forgotten just how hype Oni and Evil Ryu's Ultra 2 were.
When was Akuma free?
And you can just buy all those characters with FM if you wanted to.
I feel they weren't 100% committed to the feral Akuma concept. Like, to me it seemed they wanted him to look wild, but like you said some elements throw it off.
Looking it up online I saw absolutely no mention of him being free, not a single blurb. You sure a friend didn't buy him with fight money when you weren't looking?
Akuma looks better in V than he does in IV, even with the dumb top knot and literal neckbeard.
Village's changes to Akuma's look are the exact same ones I'd do.
The Raging Demon in V looks fantastic. 23 years of black screen + hit sparks was enough. That only really passed as cool back in the day because everyone else's supers were either "two special moves in a row" or "a fireball but it does 5 hits instead of 1".

I will say the raging demon looks great in V, but the default Akuma looks like ass man. No need to lie about that.
Yeah, I know it might not be the popular opinion, but I wouldn't mind more dark characters as DLC down the lie. Not the same one, but each SF game going forward, has different dark characters as DLC and they have insane hype moveset. Like a violent ken, and a psycho-ed ou Ed.
Those dark characters allowed them to explore widl ass animations and do nuts shit with their move sets.
" STARE IN TO THE FACE OF DEATH", oni had special super death colors too. His shit was black and white
maybe? Akuma is one of those super popular SF main stays, I guess they didn't want to change too much, but its at a weird middle point where they should have changed less or more.

It makes me mad that you have to pay real Earth dollars to get his classic costume
I doubt that very much lol. Even Maximillian (who I'm not much a fan of but knows his shit) has said it's his best raging demon.
True, his mane (you can choose his nostalgia costume btw) is an acquired taste but at least he plays like a very unique and refreshing shotokan character in SFV. Design wise in Tekken 7, I don't think he's actually anything different from his SF4 iteration, all they did was copy and paste his design (along with super bar and fadc) to 3D and just added some more of Tekken style combos.

Just lose the top knot and he looks fine.

Urien's portrait should be his thong
Right after they make a Bleach, Berserk and Hellsing fighting game.
When the series is popular and current, which is never unfortunately. I'd love if they do a One Piece FG like DBF as it would have so many varying play styles rather than what is has now. Just thinking of how ASW would create Boa Hancock, Ace and White Beard's moveset makes me excited.

want a new YYH fighter
If they did a DBZ game, then a One Piece game, then a Naruto game then that would basically guarantee reusing all those assets for a legit good Jump fighting game. I need a Jotaro + Kenshiro team in an ASW fighting game.

I'd love a Jump fighting game. Needs Light Yagami in it.

Naw bruh, Soul Calibur team gotta make that Berserk fighting game. They (arc) can hop on an HxH game after that.
Then Eighting can make a OPM game.

There's 2 Kazunokos right now so something has to change.

Digimon talk...in 2017.
One of the rules Capcom had a hard stance on when they allowed Namco to put Akuma in Tekken was not to mess with the top knot. They probably think of it as an important aspect of his design that can't be dropped.

You're purposefully not shown it so you're forced to use your imagination. Yeah, it's better that way.
It just seems like they changed it for the sake of changing it
