"A.K.I.: Undoubtedly in the Bottom Tier, Regardless of Player or Playstyle"

Professional Street Fighter player Daigo Umehara has expressed his disappointment with the new DLC character A.K.I. in Street Fighter 6, stating that she is weak and in the bottom tier. Despite finding her fun to play, Daigo believes A.K.I. is not viable compared to other characters like Ryu and Ken. He also criticizes Capcom's decision to update the game only once a year, suggesting that A.K.I. would have been buffed if she had been included in the beta.
