First steps for learning SFV with Akuma?

Hello!

I recently openned another thread to ask if I should buy the SFV for Ps4 or PC. I will buy the game prbbly this evening so, I would like to ask also the first steps I should take in this game. I must say that I have played Tekken and DBFZ for a year, so I have a bit of experience with FGs. What should be my first steps to learn this game? I want to play Akuma.

Thanks in advance!
