[Spheres of Power or Path of War] Making Akuma?


Advice and Rules Questions


I've been playing Street Fighter IV and Street Fighter X Tekken, and I find myself wondering, how would one make Akuma in Pathfinder? Well, I imagine the first-party option would be monk, but screw that. How, using Spheres of Power and/or Path of War, would one make the Master of the Fist, Akuma?


I'd suggest an Aurora Soul Mystic and use the Unorthodox Method trait to trade out one of the Disciplines for Black Seraph.


Steelfist Commando Warlord, use a Tradition to get Black Seraph (SATSUI NO HADO!), its final Strike is actually a good approximation of the Raging Demon. Warlord's Dual Boost and Dual Stance stuff is good for Akuma's aggressive methods. Also a good approximation for Ken.

But I'd also use Unorthodox Method to get Elemental Flux, because it has better options for Hadokens. Just avoid the stuff like Burrowing Speed, and other things that are a bit 'out there' for Street Fighter characters. Broken Blade perfectly covers the unarmed stuff, the other disciplines just round it all out.
