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

Fast buttons and frame traps for days. Thanks for this wonderful info.

Random question, but what characters are you guys looking forward to demon’ing the most?
Personally I’m going after Mika, Necalli, Rashid, & Fang. Hate them the most, so they finna get some work.

if st.mk is 6f start-up and cr.mp is +5 on hit, either his medium to medium link is gone or the data is wrong

^it says st. mk is 5f start-up

oh whoops, my mistake

lol damn Bipson at #1, cold blooded.

number 1 is ken and ryu is 2 etc lol, have you seen the movies?

So CH cr.mp into sweep… excellent. I just wonder what the range is, if you can get away with cr.mp (blocked) cr.mp (CH) sweep.

I am hyped that you can Kara Demon, I was sure they would remove it.

Also this frame data is great, as it should be.

Since Cammy is the only original character that kept full invincibility on a meterless DP, I wonder if Akuma has it too. I’ll test that later.

cr. MP = 6f, +5 oH, +3 oB
^
Is that +3 on block a joke ? Or this is the best normal ever in a Street fighter, I guess. Good range, fast, cancelable, and hardly positiv: wow.

Combo videos:



V-skill combos with tatsu feels so awkward

Here is a noggin scratcher, what does ex tatsu “do” ?

Like, besides just more damage, Ken’s lets you anti air from a range basically nobody else can match, and has insane corner carry.
Ryu lets you get corner juggles.

Akumas special snowflake is ???

Huh, so looking at the damage and oki (eyeballing the latter of course) it seems that HK Tatsu as an ender is only better than Palm for corner carry; you want to go into VSkill Launcher -> Palm for more damage and the oki looks better as well outside of the corner where it’s probably the same. You can do a Launcher -> LK Tatsu -> HK Tatsu for a side swap however.

Can they back rise after demon flip palm?

So can akuma parry supers? Could save him from chip with single hit ca’s.

What’s up with v trigger?

It’s bugged in the beta.
