Gen’s jump arc while annoying is still easy to anti-air.
To be honest the only characters who should give you any significant trouble anti-airing at a high level are characters like Viper who can change their jump arc at a moment’s notice. Even then it isn’t impossible.
I will say though Sakura’s jump ins are the devil. That crap is annoying. Make one bad c.HP and all of a sudden you eat a large combo. >_<
good points everyone. I’ll definitely push it to the lab
I have a pretty good Gen player to play against. Here’s how I handle the matchup.

so i bought AE PC and ground up 3kpp with ryu.
the lag on PC can be much worst than ps3’s at times ;_;
Done, and yes Oga is overhead 
At least now I know and once I’ll AA him, the matchup will probably go better.
What are Akuma’s true blockstrings?
jab jab jab, jab short jab, short jab jab, jab jab short
f.lp is +4 on block, so f.lp, c.mp/f.mp is an airtight link. Though an absolutely useless one as f.mp leaves you at -1 and c.mp will rarely hit at that range.
Quick question guys, as a Chun player this is one of the matchups I struggle with most. Most people agree that the matchup is 6-4 in Akuma’s favor, I’d go as far as to say it is 6.5/3.5 if not 7/3. Akuma’s ability to o/s Chun’s wakeup means the entire match becomes a guessing game where even if she guesses right she’s still at a disadvantage.
What are some of the things Chun players do to you that you find really effective?
If anyone is down for matches sometime, my PSN is SnakeAes, GFWL is psnSnakeAes.
Forward throw nerf did make OS’ing her on wakeup a lot more difficult to time, x2dashes j.hk or df palm won’t be able to safejump EX SBK.
The matchup for Chun comes down to abusing your superior pokes and not to get knocked down. It seems really hard seeing as you cannot make akuma come to you as he can keep you out all day and the instant you make a mistake you get swept. It’s worth it to stock super because you can always punish sweeps, u1 can punish sweeps aswell. It can also be used to punish sloppy air fireballs and just ground fireballs in general. St.mp is your best friend.
Gen talk? Yes!
Wall Dive can be abused so much against players that don’t know the matchup. It’s true you can forward dash a lot of setups, but some setups from a forward throw or cr.HK linked from sweep destroy everything except good blocking.
Once you counter Oga, that matchup should to a bit easier for you. But in honesty I enjoy the Akuma matchup, I’d even call it even, if not in Gens favour (Imo…) It just feels awesome.
Feel free to ask questions, it’s 2:30am here and im dying, wil reply in the morning
I call the match up 6-4. I play against one of the better Chuns in the US and I don’t think Akuma walks all over her so bad she can’t win. Her pokes crap all over Akuma and once she gets U1 or Super the match up becomes a pain.
Agreed. This matchup tends to be one of patience. I just like to get a knockdown and set up a dive kick that stuffs EX SBK. Her being able to reversal a blocked sweep with U1 / Super can be annoying, but you could always just cancel the sweep into a Super / U1 and catch her before she kicks.
Trying to practice defending against Adon’s walldives, I can stuff the hk but the ex trades is that right or am I mistiming it?
Edit: its a timing issue but it doesnt feel very reliable esp online, Ex is a horrible trade for Akuma.
Solid options on Adon’s walldive are:
Don’t forget neutral jumping guys…
Sorry if this is in the set up thread i was just daunted by all of the char specification (ex akuma player but its still intense :S). In AE 2012 what are good Forward Throw setups vs shotos, 4 framers, and 5 framers?
I’ve got a question, Akuma, Have you learnt to subdue the Satsui no Hado yet and play nice?
It clearly doesn’t work, just look at me, I’m up and alive and never felt better, I think you cured my arthritis with that last bout we had.
