Akuma ' Secrets' Thread

I know it’s highly unsafe but for fun purpose (player match) i sometime go for the following reset:
cr.MP, LTATSU, cr.MP (reset) canceled into HTATSU (only last kick hits) juggling with MSRK x FADC, rFB

…of course it can be easily reversaled, but if you catch someone on surprise it looks hilarious.

Maybe someone has a more safe reset set up besides the usual demon flip?

how do I do this option select? whats the command notation please?

so you’re the guy who took my name!

I think everyone should pause. Breath. And remember we’re sharing SECRETS. Not resets, combos, stun #'s and shit… Sorry if I sound bitchy but damn.

Gimme more CH setups! More corner BS! Option Select on Gouken was tight too, what more can we do with those (not necessarily akuma-specific, but tight.)

I don’t know where I saw it but in the corner after lk tatsu cMP->FADC you go under them and on the other side. It’s a fun mix up but I don’t know if it’s worth the meter. This also works on sagat and viper I don’t know about anyone else. I just like the fact that it works on Bison’s since there are herds of them in the NW.

Who else in the cast dos the 5 hit max out work on besides Dhalsim if you don’t mind me asking Shinuza-san?

lol just noticed ur name. what does BJN stand for? I think versatile1 or versatile11 was available.

about the option selects? can some1 help me with how to do them as in notation?
example; demon flop throw Option select shoryuken? just do a demon flip to light punch + light kick and shoryuken command while hes about to land?

It also works on Gen and Chun-li too.

lp srk FADC dash twice mp srk hits on the other side to put them back in the corner.

…don’t use this. :rofl:

Well you just do your demon flip throw like normal but input the srk immediately after you hit the throw button. Select Gouken in training and make Akuma your opponent and then record yourself doing the OS with Akuma to see if you are doing it right.

Can we perform Akuma’s Ultra in combo in the real match? I saw the one performing his great combo with 39 hits ( includes 27 hits of Ultra ) ?

^yes I mad a thread about that a few weeks ago. You an FADC after a fireball combo and land the ultra it’s just hella hard quite possibly corner only and not worth the meter because of the difficulty. Go over a few pages in the akuma foru and look for combo into demon thread it has the videos. Not really useful at all to know but still possible.

Borrowed from the video thread, these have some neat little simple tricks:

Cheers Henaki,

i dont know if it was mentioned here (didnt see it in the combo thread too)
but what i find out
if you do a late demon flip and hit the opponent from the knee or little lower
after that you can do the far roundhouse kick it will combo
only did this on ryu so doesnt know if it works for others chars

but its a good thing that should be mentioned !

I bet it looks cool. And that’s it. It sounds like it would eat any time of AA move.

probably youre right but everybody should know that the possibilty is there =)

Not really a secret and incredibly risk but this can work a treat if implemented well.

As we all know, an EX air tatsu will have Akuma hover in the air and if he hasn’t hit the opponent then he will float to the ground and eat a nice big combo.

Unless, you buffer the demon on the way down :slight_smile:

If they go to throw, they eat a demon. If they try to sweep they eat a demon. A lot of moves can beat/avoid the demon in this situation but you just gotta see how they react in similar situations and see whether its worth it.

Will only ever work once on someone unless you are playing someone absolutely retarded. It works especially well with sweep whores though.

Another tactic I use. Standing HK. If it is blocked, immediately lp shoryuken. Often people will be buffering attacks when they see standing HK coming and this can catch them out. Next time your standing HK is blocked, try a grab. I just realised that some may see this as just plain mix ups but the fact that it is really risky/retarded but can work makes it viable for this category.

Some great input in this thread, keep it coming.

Yeah I call this the “PHD,” and it only works on someone once. Keep that in mind (it’s a gimmick). They can throw out any normal under the sun BEFORE you land and stuff any demon attempt you were going to make. It’s only because people aren’t conditioned for it that they go for the common sweeping response.

Never do this in a mirror match, they’ll most likely have a demon of their own which they can then mash out once they see your demon and win.

Does the 2nd demon always win? In practice mode, I tried several scenarious and the 2nd demon always won. When I was playing arcade mode, the other akuma would usually wakeup demon when i did st.HK, so i would mash demon and yet lose.

confused

Hey guys, sorry to pollute or anything but I don’t understand the Vortex. It sounds as though it’s just a list of options on your opponent’s wake up… I thought it was almost all based off the cross up tatsu. Anywho, any clarification would be awesome. I main Ryu currently but I’m getting a little sick of him and I’m thinking of going to Akuma who I feel is a little more my style.

EDIT: NM. Found something. Sorry!!!
