Akuma General Discussion Thread: "I am the Master of the Fist!"

in past games the cr. mk buffered into HK Tatsu was a decent tool. it caught people trying to dash in on you. Also, cr. mk was great for low profiling jump ins, then you could cancel the whiff recovery into Raging Demon :slight_smile:

soon guys

Demon goes through fireballs in this game?

hopefully, no one had tested it out during psx

It did in the walk through video capcom U.K. Guy did

Yeah he cancels into VT and then does a demon through Ryu’s hadoken. Could be a VT only thing, anything is possible.

Chances are he just did the VT activation to mask the demon inputs though.

Looks they knock down at close range. Also seems to cause a juggle state at point blank range.

Random thought.

one of Gouki’s BnB’s st. mk vskill juggle demon flip
Wouldn’t it be stylish and awesome if land df throw on that one. I mean I know you can land palm, but I’m just saying.

Akuma has to be in V-Trigger to use Raging Demon. His standard super, the ground slam geyser is accessible both with and without V-Trigger.

rofl JR already complaining about SFV akuma

“HE FEELS SLOW COMPARED TO SF4 AND 3S AKUMA
 IF YOU’VE EVER PLAYED CVS2 AKUMA I WOULD SAY THAT’S A GOOD COMPARISON ON HOW HE FEELS
 HIS DIVE KICK IS AWFUL HIS DEMON FLIPS ARE TERRIBLE AND ALSO GOT DUMBED DOWN ON THE MOTIONS
 HIS 3X PUNCH TELEPORT GOT TAKEN OUT ONLY 3X KICKS
 YOU CAN GRAB HIS TELEPORT ON STARTUP”

every character sucks when you don’t know how to play SFV, mash SRK all day long and got no footsies :slight_smile:

Soon we will see lots of double perfects vs silver & bronze players

Man that V gauge drains really fast, I wonder how often using raging demon is gonna be viable.
That combo combo looks very good tho
pretty excited to try him out

First thing I’ll need to learn is to not throw normal fireballs in neutral when I have vtrigger on I guess. Shit is draining half the vtrigger, so I guess it gives good combos.

returning akuma player from sfiv - will the sfv system allow option select throw tech teleport on wakeup?

it better not

Yes it probably won’t. They really go hard against option selects in V.

It would defeat the purpose of teleport being grabbable. If it works, they are going to patch it away I think

JR Akuma is just waiting until Tokido confirms he is top tier and then will hop on the wagon.

yea he will probably suck without that

This isn’t an option select heavy game. This is a make real decisions unless you somehow find something that Capcom is liable to remove any way
game

Easy answer, don’t get knocked down.
