Akuma is one tuff beast

Just throw him with chun li.

ARHGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH playing him now, cant beat him!

OMG AKUMA AIR FIRE BALLLLLLLS!!! [sarcasm]

This is how I beat him with Ryu (takes a bit of skill and luck):

I jump all of his red fireballs then punish him for the mistake by doing a combo, when he falls I usually do a safe jump but I wouldn’t advise it because the timing has to be spot on to hit but when I hit I usually go into a throw or another combo, rinse and repeat for me.

But if I miss the safe jump then I back off and try to get into that situation again. Also when he jumps at you, you can do a standing RH or just a DP to counter.

Another way to beat him is to just keep throwing. Throw, safe jump, throw, safe jump, throw…

That is basically how I do it with Ryu.

use claw’s cr. RH
