** The scariest part about Akuma? His voice actor. He's voiced by none other than Creator/RichardEpcar, the same man who voiced Raiden from Franchise/MortalKombat. So basically, while this is in part [[MundaneMadeAwesome sounds awesome on a meta level]], it's still quite terrifying to hear our beloved god of thunder, defender of Earthrealm, voice ''[[TheDreaded the supreme master of the fist]], a raging demon devoted to fighting and mastering the Satsui no Hado'' '''''(and that is now coming dangerously close to become one with it entirely, as said before).''''' It doesn't help the presence of Raiden's [[FallenHero da]][[DarkMessiah rk]] [[OmnicidalManiac per]][[KnightTemplar sona]], which all clearly brings this picture to mind. It's an absolutely harrowing sight, and [[SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct Epcar's deliveries on Akuma's lines are chillingly inhuman, as if he's on the verge of completely losing his humanity]].

** Also affecting is Seth’s win quote for actually defeating M. Bison. While he has the same for Ed and Falke to symbolize that he only sees Bison there, triumphantly declaring “I am your tool no longer, Bison!” his line for defeating his creator for real comes from Doll Unit Zero. “Personality failure detected”. Seth's mind has deteriorated so much that he ''literally'' cannot function without Bison as a motivating factor. If he were ever to finally kill his creator, his AI would effectively shut down, killing him.

* Losing a match against [[AxCrazy Urien]], whose win pose has him ''[[BeatingADeadPlayer firing a Metallic Sphere at his fallen opponent, presumably killing them off-screen.]]''

** The teaser of the BigBad M. Bison at the end of Nash's trailer does NOT help. Right before the video comes to a close, static appears featuring Bison's silhouette, and after he strikes a pose while unleashing Psycho Power all over his body, we hear his bone-chilling evil laugh, courtesy of Creator/NorioWakamoto.

* Seth is back, and now he's got a brand-new body. Which would be nice...except his new body is ''female''. Worse, his female body is modeled after ''Juri''. You know, the same Juri who's a complete psycho-bitch. Even worse, said female body that's modeled after Juri still has Seth's very male voice coming out of it. So now you have what is essentially a Juri clone that looks like a crudely-Photoshopped Juri head on a robot body with Seth's LargeHam personality and all the [[NightmareFace creepy]] [[SlasherSmile facial]] [[PsychoticSmirk expressions]] that come with it to create something that is just unbelievably '''wrong'''. Not to mention, but his victory pose can also be really frightening, as he starts laughing maniacally before breaking down into full-on demented cackling, looking upwards and his [[WideEyesAndShrunkenIrises irises shrinking to a disturbingly small size]], twisting his face into that of ''a [[AxCrazy viciously deranged psychopath]]''. [[https://streetfighter.fandom.com/wiki/Seth/Gallery?file=SethOutro.png Just see for yourself]]. It becomes worse when using his "Nostalgia" outfit, as the shrunken irises combined with his black eyes make them disturbingly resemble '''empty eye-sockets'''.

The ''Street Fighter'' franchise is no stranger to NightmareFuel, but the latest installment has proven itself to be [[ExaggeratedTrope the scariest yet]]. Here's why.

** His Critical Arts are also rather creepy, due to their animalistic nature in the way on how they're shown, with "Ceremony of Honor" showing him clawing his opponent repeatedly in a disturbing similar matter to ComicBook/Wolverine 's Berserker Barrage from the VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom series. And, before the final blow, Necalli is briefly seen making an [[AxCrazy absolutely vicious and psychotic]] SlasherSmile that is enough to catch you off-guard if you see it carefully. [[http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/streetfighter/images/8/82/Ceremony_of_Honor.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20151022090154 Just see for yourself]]. And "Soul Offering" has Necalli punching his enemy in the abdomen, transmitting dark energy all over their body and incapacitating them, and if the opponent is K.O.'ed by the attack, you'll see Necalli also making a [[https://streetfighter.fandom.com/wiki/Necalli/Gallery?file=NecalliVCriticalArt.jpg sadistic grin of pleasure as shown here]]. All of this just shows how truly ferocious Necalli really is, and the way in how it's all shown not only demonstrates that not only does he [[YourSoulIsMine suck out the souls of his opponents as mere part of the prophecy]], [[FridgeHorror but also has an incredibly unbridled taste of doing his nasty, dirty job]] [[ForTheEvulz because he loves every single bit of it]].

** Gameplay-wise, he takes all the brutality of Evil Ryu and multiplies it, making him seem very much like Necalli in the process. His movements, and the way he attacks... he's much less of a calm and focused warrior and more of a psychotic and crazed animal out for blood. His Metsu Shoryuken now takes on a very nightmarish looking effect, where the entire background is crimson red and both he and his opponent are now framed in shadow, giving the implication that the opponent is ''dead''. But that's not the most terrifying move in his arsenal. That honor goes to his version of the Shun Goku Satsu[=/=]Raging Demon, now pictured above. Unlike Akuma's version, which is framed in pitch-black darkness as he strikes his opponent's vital organs with cold efficiency, Kage's version is framed in the same blood-red background as his Metsu Shoryuken as he brutally starts to pummel his opponent. Then after 4 hits he lets out a loud inhuman roar (in the English dub he lets out a unsettling, psychotic evil laugh) as he decides to go completely berserk... AND THEN HE BEGINS TO '''BRUTALLY CLAW THE OPPONENT, SPLATTERING THEIR BLOOD ALL OVER THE SCREEN!''' If you look closely, you can see that much like how predators kill their prey in nature, Kage is specifically aiming for the opponent's throat and spine in order to keep them paralyzed and unable to defend themselves.

* In Sagat's story, everything is normal, including a MirrorMatch with Sagat vs. Sagat. But then, Sagat suddenly clutches his chest. He then expresses his horror; Sagat is experiencing the Satsui no Hado. Sagat is still suffering from the effects even when his disciple Namupun arrives. Throughout this sequence, he hears the voice of the shadow he faced earlier repeating "[[MadnessMantra Kill them...kill them...]]" over and over again. Even worse, Namupun appears to him as a strange monster with MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily that constantly [[LaughingMad giggles maniacally]], repeating the same mantra. Sagat doesn't give in to the Satsui no Hado, as he refuses to accept it, but it is still dark regardless. His Arcade Mode ending is even worse. He either awakens or returns to find his village set ablaze by a group of masked thugs. He brutally attacks them, and the last shot is him crying TearsOfBlood, indicating that he perhaps did give in to the Satsui no Hado. What's more, the credits list "Evil Sagat" as a separate character, meaning this subplot may not be over yet.

** Gameplay-wise, he takes all the brutality of Evil Ryu and multiplies it, making him seem very much like Necalli in the process. His attacks are all very savage and sadistic. His Metsu Shoryuken now takes on a very nightmarish looking effect, where the entire background is crimson red and both he and his opponent are now framed in shadow, giving the implication that the opponent is ''dead''. But that's not the most terrifying move in his arsenal. That honor goes to his version of the Shun Goku Satsu[=/=]Raging Demon, now pictured above.

** And to finish that subsection, there's the return of the dreaded Shun Goku Satsu, which in this game is Akuma's second Critical Art. And now that the game pulls off a dark and violent twist to the already infamous attack. After Akuma poses and shouts, "Die one thousand deaths!", he dashes towards his opponent and the background transforms into pitch-black darkness, where we see strobes of light that show Akuma striking his opponent's vital organs with cold efficiency [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar Hokuto Hyakuretsuken-style]] as the pace accelerates and the look eventually cuts away, cutting back again to the black background while we hear a [[HellIsThatNoise disturbing droning sound]], which could imply to be the victim screaming in agony and finally, what we see is the opponent collapsing in a way that they're completely crippled, totally unable to get up and all of this shows how in clear detail how devastatingly destructive the Shun Goku Satsu really is, and it's more than enough to give someone the chills.
