akuma has a kara backdash?
^You know when Akuma does focus attack, he steps back init. After the step back you can back daah.This covers a lot of ground. It might be called something else though.
Sounds like a perfect name as kara often refers to gaining range. The difference is huge.
o ok that makes sense
Well I’ve written down what I felt about the game and my closing remarks. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!
Great info, Ajay. Thanks.
Hey Ajay, one question: Do you know if its possible to still cancel his multi-hit SRK’s on hit?
For example, HP SRK > let all three hits collect > FADC.
Is this still possible?
^Yes Gam, this is still possible. Same goes for MP.DP.
Notice the expanded hurtbox on the df dive kick?
^Nope, didn’t notice any difference. I really believe that change may have been reverted because it wasn’t listed on Capcom Unity. Same goes for EX tatsu, that wasn’t listed either so that’s why its probably still broken in Ultra.
WAIT WHAT!!! THEY REVERTED THE FIX? R U FUCKING KIDDING ME?..smh
Lol I don’t know for sure. I’m just presenting you what I saw in the build and what was listed in the change list. BTW switch your version to super and do cr.lp x3 xx ex tatsu on Ryu and see what happens!
y to super?
Ajay, that’s very, very informative. Thank you very much!!!
So apparently vanilla gouki is back in ultra. This should be good…
Just a little fun mode from what I’m hearing. Won’t be tourney standard, so most people could care less.
This version switching for characters is just to have fun on VS mode! But it is not something new! I don’t know why people get excited about it! It should turn up being like trials, as soon as you had your fun, that’s it! At least trials teaches you something!
Well you see they nerfed Akuma’s pressure tools, stun & damage output through the SF4 series cause of the vortex. They made him a sort of hit and run type of character. So Akuma became vortex and then, when the momentum is reset, run and defend. Now they nerfed his defence as well. In combination of buffing the rest of the cast,nerfing (akuma) without giving anything back(not even fixes) and the DWU being implemented,all i see is a world of pain for this character! All of the match ups are going to be more difficult than now. Sure some match ups were too good,but all characters had really good MUs, nothing that only Akuma had!
In short:
VORTEX + DEFENCE > NO PRESSURE TOOLS + NO DMG/STUN(BOTH WAYS) + NERFS & NO FIXES = TIGHT OVERALL BALANCE!
Now
NO PRESSURE TOOLS + NO DMG/STUN(BOTH WAYS) + NO BUFFS + NERFS (DEFENCE) & NO FIXES ± DWU > VORTEX = POOR BALANCE!
(I dont consider cl st MK forces stand a buff,DF to exFB a buff…its only there just to say that we got something and not to irritate us even more…like we are so stupid and say thanks!)
As far as i know, to get the vortex going you have to make them! Scare them with footsies, converted defence and make them pay for mistakes with damage output! If all of that are non existent, how can somebody be scared of the Akuma’s vortex any more? If Akuma gets that UKD so what? I dont really have much to lose,plus i have more escape options now…so there goes away the fear and respect!All i have to say to us Akuma users is GOOD LUCK on UFS4!
I really hope that i’m seeing all of this the wrong way!
cs.mk forcing stand is a buff. You’re high if you think otherwise.
I can confirm that I will be attending the Ultra location test at Hypespotting on the 29th and 30th of March.
So if you got things to test/ask that were not confirmed/answered from my previous post, please let me know!
No my friend,they haven’t been giving us anything all these years,so having something seems alot! When people gets used to ultra and the escape options, mixing things up on wake up, plus the DWU, you will notice that cl.st. mk forces stand into sweep is not that much (At least vs a strong player or high level)! I really think that vortex is not really there anymore for Akuma in ultra. If this buff was an option to any version till now, yes id be very high! I see Akuma having mediocore footsies,defence,offence! That puts him in mediocore teirs! Ofcourse these are only my first thoughts! We wont know for sure till the game comes out! Only time will tell!
