Aye this is going round in circles. if you want to believe that Wrath of raging demon, a ultra which is a command grab- moves across the screen at 33 active frames. And can be knocked out of with a simple jab. Is on same level to a similar ultra that can be cancelled after startup, moves across half the screen at 6/60 of a second (you know how fast that is, that’s fucking fast). And has +1 armor. that’s upto you. Abel is what A+ atm, what was he in SF4, B? hahaha.
Ok first of karas. You talk about ultra demon being a gimmick. Only worthy attribute of it being gimmicky would be if youre anticipating a poke. You say breathless is better due to more startup frames and less active. How is that good? A slow small oppurtunity move is better than a fast large opportunity move. What? On top of it you talk about speed of movement. Who the hell is throwing a ultra half way across the screen. Demon can be canceled out of any normal, so what’s your point on that topic?
God damn I wish I wasn’t posting this from a cell phone.
YOU KNOW WHAT I HATE?
how people can say: omg rgn dmn buffer’d into low fwd is sooo good for anti air!
yeah, maybe if youre playing noobs.
There’s a reason you never see this at high level play. In high level play, no one will JUST JUMP in on you. When you play pros and you’re in a fireball war, they’ll only jump in when they think they can catch fireball recovery. And if they half know what theyre doing, you barely have time for a AA srk let alone a low forward buffered demon.
quite honestly, its the truth. low forward buffered demon will not work on anybody who knows their shit.
Only a few frames difference on startup between demon and breathless. I consider Demon a gimmick because very few ways to 100% land it. For most of the ways to land demon it involves risk and a bit of guessing. As for Breathless. If abels breathless can cover half the screen in 6/60 of a second, and startup is what 7 frames?. Why do I even need to say anymore on this. that’s a pretty good punish move there for a lot of whiffed stuff. And the +1 armor is just the icing on the cake. I’m sure it can counter a lot of shit, just a example off the top of my head but balrogs dashing straight for example. You see that coming, ultra…
demon is good anti-air. Decent long range anti-air. But situational and requires tight timing and a bit of luck. So it’s good anti-air but always risk involved. A bit safer if you whiff as it has low recovery. Cancelling it out of c.hk vs focus attack is good also I guess. not sure about the other normal cancels.
breathless is good anti air. better anti air than demon at mid range because it can cancel and +1 armor. Good anti-poke at midrange. Good punish at mid-range. Can counter many moves which demon cannot. I know if I had a choice over breathless or demon for Akumas ultra 1 it would be breathless by a large margin.
I can tell from this post you obviously play many, many pros.
indeed. My local scene is quite pro.
In all seriousness, even if the locals here are mediocre, it furthers my point. Literally no one jumps in without the accompaniment of a knockdown/fireball etc.
I dare anybody to show me 3 videos where low forward demon happens.
this forum is so damn useless. place looks like a halo message board half the time, people just talking shit then other people talking shit to them then a professor stoli topic.
So it’s the cool and happening ting to hate on the Akuma forums now is it. Makes you feel “pro” does it? does it? HAA?
“oh yes yes yes, I’m very pro player. Know everything about the game. This forum is useless I say, USELESS. This game looks like Halo it does, this forum is full of halos. People just talking shit. Not on my level, they do’t play pro like I do. I know it all I do oh, yes professor stoli… yess…”
i literally frowned when i read that post, because now i realize how fully dumb you are and feel bad for making fun of a retard.
lololololol really?
Is this guy for real?
