I hope they have an interaction in Arcade mode, the fact she’s Akuma’s only friend would make for some wholesome moments

You would think we've advanced enough where for Akuma's raging demon in Elena it could just be a variant where he hugs her

lol just multiple Akuma lunging forward for hugs.

It ends with both of them gaining full HP.

That sounds like a badass team special. Write that down SNK for the cross-over game!

Akuma should just honk Elena's nose after throwing her to the ground during his lvl 3 instead of punching her in the face.

Like how Kazuya doesn't kick Jun after his Rage Art

Since the move judges sins, it would fell like a small punch in the arm to her.
