I use it in footsies. Its a good poke many people don’t see coming. It’s got better range than low forward and isn’t extremely risky like far HK or low HK. I mostly use it against Bison and Adon.
Anyone got any quick tips in handling Bisons pressure? He’s without a doubt my hardest match up.
-
I wouldn’t dare reversaldemon his Scissor kick as i can’t tell when he does LK/MK etc
-
When i’m cornered i just get raped… I try & jump out i get HK’d on ascent, if i stay put i get stuffed by scissor kick pressure.
-
After scissors every poke i attempt gets stuffed by his or another scissors.
-
his EX Crusher feels unpunishable to me… Is this punishable?
What’s the best way to play him? you can’t Crouch HK after Tatsu so i have problems keeping him staying put. His HK is infuriating, i swear it’s like the greatest poke in the game.
Cheers for any help, at present the only part i don’t have to much trouble with is the ones who abuse his stomp/dive to much. I punish stomps pretty well (With HK -> combos) & if they do dive to much i guess projectile them on landing (When they do like 5 fakes for every real stomp) Obviously the Bisons who like to stay close are the ones that give me the most trouble.
Cheers
Don’t get cornered by Bison, you don’t want this at all. He’s got mad corner pressure.
Zone him, if you get the offensive on him, ride it for as long as you can, don’t let up.
And if he thinks he can headbutt over fireballs, back jump FP or Neutral Jump HP air fireballs stuff that shit.
You gotta keep the pressure on him, keep him away and drive him into the corner, once he’s in the corner, he’s in big trouble.
ive been lurking the akuma threads for the past few days
maybe i can help you out with this one. knockdowns, safe jumps and option selecting are key to beat Bison IMO
i cant tell you specifics since i dont use akuma very well but this vid might help

when youre cornered, keep blocking his scissor kick pressure and pay attention to his pattern to help you predict…
-if you feel he will throw out a st.mk or st.hk after his scissor kicks then srk
-if you feel he will not throw out a st.mk or st.hk because he wants to bait your srk, then thats when you air tatsu out of the corner and reset position
Damn that is one scary ken… Though those option selects are excellent. Did you switch it to SRK when you had him cornered? EX Headstomp would be out SRK right?
yep i switched the option select to mp.srk because Bison cannot/will not teleport backwards when he is cornered (it just makes no sense doing it) so there is no point option selecting tatsu when you have Bison cornered. his EX Headstomp would trade with my mp.srk which is a bad trade for me 
but i beat out all of his psycho crushers, scissor kicks, devils reverses and normal headstomp clean.
excuse my very limited akuma knowledge but if you option select srk with akuma, will it beat bisons EX headstomp clean?
i don’t know for sure but i highly doubt it. his EX SRK might beat it, but even then i’m not certain… However i think Akumas MK tatsu as an option select against a teleport might be able to add a HP SRK after… i’ll have to test that.
A good Bison will just teleport right behind you if he thinks you’re going to DP.
I was actually going to write a detailed OS thread and made a demo video of some OS that might help.

This is a basic OS that will shut down a lot of Bison’s options on wake up. Also another one that can be useful is the U1 OS. If Bison reversals or teleports he eats an Ultra to the face.
Im with West on this one. I’ve found myself using this one lately.
How do you do OS ultra?
On jump in’s I have always buffered in two jabs, followed by the last bit of the demon on the recovery.
Akuma’s HP SRK can beat EX DR but EX HS will whiff and most probably the Bison player will be able to punish Akuma.
that is true but that should never deter you from safe jumping him with option selects to keep the pressure on him.
option selects may lose to a teleport but doing nothing will lose to everything.
funny thing is, sometimes my option select tatsu will auto correct itself and beat out his “behind me” teleport.
The way I have been performing it
HK + LP, HK + LP, Hold B+LK+HP.
If Bison blocks or is hit no demon comes out, but if he teleports, EX Scissors, or EX Psycos he eats the Ultra. The only thing that really beats this is his EX Stomp or EX D.Reverse because the ultra will come out and you will go right under him.
So if you can train him to teleport or EX Psyco then you can catch him with this. The timing takes some practice since if you whiff the kick you make a stupid ultra.
^^EX Psycho is beaten by demon?^^
Ok, I do it the same way.
Startup frames are wonderful arent they?
Yep, if you time your Safe jump perfectly you will grab him out of the start up frames.
^ and 1 frame grapplers can even jump over him and grab him going the other direction when he basically looks like he should already be in the air… looks very odd.
Ooh, please do. My OS knowledge is poor. I could use some demonstrated instructions 
I am slowly working on it. I will have more time after this week when summer school ends.
I think you can OS U2 if you are sure he is going to EX PC out lol. It should beat backdash as well.
