Hey guys, so I’m new to Akuma and thinking of using him in a Chris/Dante/Akuma team. How do you deal with the god-awful range of Akuma’s normals? My main team is Chris/Zero/Vergil, so I’m very used to using good-ranged normals… How would you recommend this transition?
you’ll need range assists to cover you on the ground. air demon flips are your best friends, try to use it while superjumping. you can link the H version of the Demon flip with L(palm) back to back to create a sort of an “air dash” .
good thing about akuma is he’s mix up potential. mess around with his move sets, you’ll find some interesting block strings forcing your opponent to eat a mixup
