Erase the Light Texture/whatever covering his face. Blend it as it goes to his hair because it's okay to be there, but it's really distracting when it covers Akuma's eyes etc.

I like the effects, they fit well, but your smudging is way too "focused" there. It should blend more with the black. Easy to do, just Duplicate and smudge again outwards to get more texture. If you're going to have such a strong Central line, make the rest a bit more interesting, too. However, i would fade some edges of what you have there as well, to make it surround Akuma a bit better, and not just be a solid line.

Like the "heat spots" effect though. Looks cool.
