So has someone on the forum done it yet?!?! Video would help.
I know I have good execution in training mode at least and I can’t get this at all.
I can only do it off of counter-hit, this seems nigh impossible. Set counter-hit to on in training, push the dummy in the corner, and just do FB -> LV2 Focus, Demon.
^How about he hit confirm? is it possible off that I’m looking for it being a plausible means not just looking for counter hit off fireball which is random.
I tried for like 45 minutes with a hit-confirm, and my game was just not having it I guess. I suppose that if the hit-confirm was a counter-hit, than it would be more likely to connect, but that doesn’t really help anything.
I don’t really see how this wouldn’t be true though, I mean there is video evidence right there…it’s just too difficult as it stands for me to ever care about this atm though.
I don’t do akuma too much in this game but I had no problems getting this and a couple variations of it to work in the corner after a couple tries. Timing the exact moment you get fa lvl2 is the only hard part. Seemed for scaling sake cr mk xx fb(i used lp fb just cause i thought it might give me that extra time lol) then ultra isn’t that bad of an idea. Burning 2 bars to land ultra isn’t that big of a deal for any other characters so it’s neato to me that akuma can with the right timing. Kinda makes me want to use him a little more since I was depressed about no far hk xx demon in this game
The timing of the FA2 after FADC fireball is just too tight. I’ve only managed to do it twice.
after doing it over and over for about 20 min I got it about 75% of the time. It would be something to know how to pull off in a pinch if he is your main imo
vids brao, imo.
^again I’m talkin cLP->cLP->cMP->FB->FADC lvl2->Demon
I want confirmation and on what characters because I can’t do it.
I wasn’t doing the full chain since the scaling looked pretty bad. Can’t do vids, had to do it at my friends house since my setup is no longer with me :sad: If I go over there again later today I’ll bring my cam and take some shitty vids
^the whole point I’m doing this is that it is a hit confirm. So if someone could give some relevant info that’d be nice.
According to accounts here, it’s been confirmed as theoreticly possible then.
All these people talking about how they pull this shit off with their eyes closed:
What’s the damage on cr.MK - Fireball - Cancelled Level 2 Focus Stun - Full Ultra?
Well, 100% of c.mk damage, 100% of fireball damage, 70% of Focus Attack 2, 50% of Ultra.
Should be around ~450-470 damage. FA’s and Ultra’s count as 2 notches down, plus Akuma’s ultra has some weird issue at the end where the last couple hits drop from 100% damage to like 93% for some reason.
Is cr. mk not a hit confirm?
That’s life scaling. Once they drop below 50% of their health, no attacks will do 100% of their damage. If you Ultra Shotos from full life, you’ll take 59% off them, but if you Ultra when they’re at about half their life, it’ll only take a touch more than 50%.
Anyways, 470 damage just concludes on the viability of this idea for me. If it was as easy as a cr.MK - fireball - FADC - Ultra like Ryu’s then it’d be great, but this isn’t worth the execution when Akuma can output 100 fewer points with great reliability.
^Devil 100 more dmg is alot of more won games then lost for me. I’m willing to learn this If it’s even possible.
Srry I figured you meant something like Lord said with counter hit FB->FADC->Demon which isn’t a hit confirm
So you can do cMK->FB->FADC->Demon without counter hit semi-reliably? I would really like to see a vid.
Has anybody else done this not on counter hit??!!
Fuck theoretical I want confirmed stuff.

Thank you
I am going over there as soon as my cam charges and promise vids by nights end. if you don’t have them cornered I remember both of us noticing you had to be kinda close. Don’t have to be right in their shit but not max range either
Yeah 100 dmg is not pocket change, if this can be done reliably it is worth learning.
Ok, cam is charged and imma do this shit. I’m going to toy around with different set ups, combos, and situations with it. I’ll also try to scope out any character specific shit that may be of interest and you tube that shit so hopefully all the folks on here that are much better than me may be able to expand upon anything I’m doing and make it match applicable. I’d like to actually give something back to the strats section other than the lame ass jokes I usually crack.
Going by frame data, I don’t think it will work at point blank range. FB only gives 24 frames of hitstun. Even if you cancelled to FA on the first possible frame, and then released as soon as the charge reached lv2, FAlv2 still takes 29 frames in total to hit. Thus, for this combo to be even possible, the fireball must travel for at least 5 frames before it hits the opponent.
That’s something to keep in mind for people trying to work out the combo in practice mode…
