Something I’ve noticed when fooling around with Evil Ryu. It seems like Akuma cant do cr.lk, cr.lp cr.mp into srk consistently unless you are at really close range otherwise the srk whiffs. The same combo on E.ryu however works at really far ranges (still whiffs at max range on some characters). So the hitbox differential is pretty huge.
This has been the case since Vanilla. Akuma’s horizontal range on his srk’s are much worse than Ryu and E.Ryu. However, I don’t see the need for a direct srk, when you can cancel cr.MP into LK Tatsu first. That’s the advantage Akuma has compared to the classic Shoto’s.
This becomes more lenient on crouching opponents, but not all of them. On many characters Akuma can do c.LK, c.LP, c.MP xx LP DP.
HP DP in this case hits three times on few, two times on many and only once on too many lol; (leaving you in a very awkward position). These things are important to know for Akuma players, since our combo’s aren’t as universal and braindead as others’.
I would only use it against crouchers I mean, which is why i was messing around with it for more damage if you dont have meter for ex hado or ex tatsu.
im starting akuma today and i wanted to know if all of his safe jumps and set ups still work after the 2012 patch or did something change?
So I’ve asked this in the set-ups thread, nobody seemed to give me an answer, so I’ll ask here. It’s a simple question really, I just wanna now with that button Akuma can perform the kara-throw, the one that -6 and Eita uses. From what I’ve seen it has a pretty damn good range, I just can’t seem to understand what button they use for it (or either it’s really tough to do lol).
A lot has changed, read the set-ups thread.
ive ways thought it was fs.HP
Really? I tested it and it did seem to give him only a tiny bit range on his throw, -6’s seemed to give him miles compared to what I’ve gotten off of fs.HP. Maybe I should test it again, anyways, thank you.
can you link the video?
i know i’ve gotten off a couple of ridiculous limb grabs before.
Trying to catch teleports, is it normal for OS Ultra to go the wrong way? Any way to avoid this or does it just not home in that well sometimes?
its far s.fp. The huge range u see is a mind trick because they do slight walk forward to kara throw, which happens fast.
I was in trial mode because I was trying to do something, and I noticed that trial 24 seems to be literally impossible. the exTATSU > exSRK at the end basically. Sends Dan flying the wrong direction making it impossible to get the corner SRK. or is there another way to do it? or did some patch change it to make it this way after Super came out?
Walk dan in the corner, s.MP, jump back, jump fwd. HK… you should get it on your first try.
Does anybody know the reason why far sweep> HK demon flip doesn’t stuff Ryu DP’s anymore?
You’re not delaying your divekick enough. Ryus dp hitbox’s havnt changed.
I didn’t think it changed but i noticed in all of my fights since 2012 dropped, max range sweep> HK df divekick (early as possible) either trades or looses.( I used to ABUSE this before the update btw). So i went to the lab after i read your post and i believe max range sweep> very late DFDK makes all DP’s wiff ( i think it looses to auto-correct DP’s thanks for the tip anyways.) but dammit its a wrap for the first frames technique.( although it still beats his lp DP, and EX wiffs)
I even switched versions in training mode… max sweep>HK DFDK stuffed DP’s easy as pie
Has anyone seen a visual on the Ryu " fwd. throw>dash>take a small step> HKDF" setup? maybe i can get the timing that way
i’ve been beefing up my vortex game/knowledge and i have some q’s
-
after i land a DF sweep, what are some good options to keep on going
-
same thing, but with DF throw.
thanks!
What the real reason behind the c.lk c.lp s.lk Block string or is it counter hit setup??
sorted. thanks

is the info here still viable? Also, I think the reason for the st.lk blockstring is for OS st.hk to catch backdashers? Not really too sure though. Also, what is the go too combo on crouchers?
edit: yeah the question to the st.lk block string was answered on this page -__-
