Rare Akuma is a playable fighter from MUGEN.
Bio[edit | edit source]
To people outside of its respective fandom, MUGEN might seem like an open-source fighting game engine that allows users to recreate their favorite characters in something that resembles a knock-off copy of Street Fighter II. A more nuanced look, however, will soon reveal that MUGEN actually exists for three reasons: Comedy, fetish fuel, and the constant contest to beat hilariously and intentionally overpowered edits by sending in your own bunch of circus freaks.
As Akuma already originated as one of those late 90s 'he is a boss character, he is not supposed to be balanced' fighters, it follows that the creator of Rare Akuma went ahead and pulled out all the stoops with him. It didn't help that Rare Akuma himself is meant to be a parody of the equally overpowered Shin Gouki edit - or that Shink Gouki, in turn, is a parody of countless other parody edits that continue the endless running gag.
In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]
Season 2[edit | edit source]
Rare Akuma debuted in 8chanmania XL. He and Dark Donald immediately threw themselves into a fight that plainly was too fast as if that anyone could reasonably discern what in the fuck was happening, but rest assured, Rare Akuma splendidly won it via pinfall. That the attempts of Wololo Monk to convert him were met with failure is self-explanatory. How local genocide enthusiast Luca Blight still managed to defeat him more so (although it neatly shows that Blight really is one scary motherfucker).
Realizing the evil the two could achieve together, Rare Akuma and Dark Donald teamed up for 8chanmania LIII. Angel and Tetsuo Shima stood no chance against them, nor did the fan favorites Brauggi and Kunio. It ultimately took the bullet time fuckery of Point Man and the British charm of Cate Archer to stop the two aberrations.
Season 3[edit | edit source]
Rare Akuma returned for 8chanmania LXXV. Initially hoping to fight Gill, he had to (and did) make do with the latters lapdog Kolin. His duel with Piranha Plant likewise ended as fast as it had started, and when the freak edit finally fell, it took the hands of Badmella to do so. Curiously, he was followed by Kazumi Mishima all the while; her intentions dubious.
MUGENTime[edit | edit source]
True to his original role in MUGEN, Rare Akuma can control the flow of time - specfically by speeding it up until a regular 15-minute match is done with in under thirty seconds of real time.
