"Critique My Akuma!" Video Blog Thread

Pretty good links. That ryu didnt seem too good though

Yeah he doesn’t really play sf4 that much, but he is one of the best guilty gear players in the country though

Ok, little help for me? My links are sucking, I think the TV I’m playing on at home has lag cus on my friends TV (no hd) all my combos go to hell. Thanks!

Me and Lud played like 1.5 hrs of matches last night.
I have no editing software, and not sure I would edit if I did.
That being said, here’s the playlist of our matches in their entirety:


If you watch them all, God be with you.

^Lmao

Holy shit West. Your execution on pad is just insane…

LOL why are these videos in hyper speed and sometimes it gets ultra slow? >_> It’s really amusing, but anyway I saw some nice stuff, like fireball FADC sweep, that I want to start putting in my game. Mainly for Blanka at the moment.


me vs west…

Hey guys I just had some matches with a good friend of mine who mains Zangief. Before you guys can give me some tips, let me say some things:

1: I won like 12-0 when we decided to start recording. I get nervous with anything so i got nervous and started drop combos and do some stupid shit and i lost 5x3
2: He was using the WE Game recording program and i’m not sure but it kinda messed up my timing. We could see that it was lagging the normal stages so we decided to play on the training stage. It was okay but i noticed clearly that i started to miss a lot of Loops and light tatsus into sweeps.

These are my first recorded matches with akuma, i hope you guys can help me get better.

see ya !

sarda…
-learn to mash teleport during geif’s block strings. He has no way to punish your teleport. You’ll avoid his command throw block string antics by doing that. srk during a block string will work sometimes too but is risky while teleport is not.

-learn to demon his lariats. They are highly punishable which is why you don’t see good players use them against the good shotos (sorry ken…).

-you HAVE to punish hands. You just HAVE to. At the very least you should be mashing down back lp after you start to block it to at least guaranteed something off a c.lp.

-I won’t talk about combo dropping or anything since u said there was a lag issue. but i will say that if you are doing the loop on geif you have to do broken looping slightly differently. Either neutral jump instead of block, backwards jump air FB, or block/wait if you are visibly out of lp spd range. Generally the jumps are the better choice.

-no idea why though you get a JUMP in the middle of a loop… There is no button command that would even hint at having a reason to jump forward. Only thing I can think of is if you botched a demon flip really badly because you missed your lp (the easier part…) but there is no reason to do a demon flip off a loop…lol.

-the moment you see geif jump on your wake-up just teleport for the most part or srk. like at 3:18 in the first match. You should have teleported or SRK. You even had meter to safe srk. Don’t be afraid to use meter on safe srk against geif. Using random srk at times, since it beats throws, works well on geif ( I say random meaning non-combo or AA).

-tiger your fb more often. You give him too much room to get under your fb a lot of the time.

-use more ground based fb. JUST air fb means you are NEVER going to be anti-airing him. mix it up a little and the geif will never be able to read you and get in easily.

  • you missed your s.lp a LOT. I’m not 100% sure its lag related either as I don’t even tend to have problems with that part of the loop in a 2-3 bar connection online (and my current internet suck(s/ed). You are probably just getting stressed so you aren’t keeping your rhythm.

-forward teleport TOWARDS someone is suicide against anyone halfway decent. To do so means you are either flicking the king or you think your opponent is a tard.

-i assume you started to give up on the loop. Otherwise every time you land a c.lp/c.lk you can loop.

-you didn’t poke very often with hk. I think if you had you wouldn’t have been running as often. Just make sure you aren’t whiffing the first kick usually or they’ll start to counter grab you if they are good.

-unless I’m being forgetful due to turkey overload… c.lp doesn’t combo into a fb… you kept tryin to do that for some reason. lag or execution…either way.

-i don’t think you really know when to use demon in this match-up. GO LEARN! for starters… there is no reason not to always buffer in lp after you starta sweep when you have meter. And to be safe you can do it at all times if you have an issue with recognizing when you have ultra or not. And you straight up lost matches because you didn’t demon his lariats. The guy wasn’t even missing up PPP and KKK…

-too much backing up in general. A little more forward movement would mean you wouldn’t be in the corner so quick every single round. part of that is learning to srk after a standing fb and not being afraid to do it if you see you are at the right range where geif is stuck blocking or jumping. hk helps too.

-don’t use ex demon flip so much. unless the geif has bad reaction time it shouldn’t be the difference between landing a demon flip on him or not.

-your not doing enough on wake-up. Hell… you can even use cross-tatsu and normal jump ins on geif once you get them to not just spam lariat on wake-up.

-did you know… that if you press lp and lk at the same time during a demon flip that you can grab? lol. If the geif is just blocking all day long start using the throw more often.

edit: and maybe i missed something or the “insane execution” was in the later matches for west. But the two chun matches I could handle watching looked very… online-eeeeeee… lol.

dont feed the troll

Thanks for the tips Gator. I recorded some more matches today and the first ones weren’t laggy so i could loop way more often.

Sometimes I get REALLY scared against gief, that’s why i jump backward in the middle of the loop. I guess jumping straight up is a better option.

The same thing apply to punishing hands. Sometimes I miss and when i start to miss a lot I start to get gay and just teleport out.

I really need to demon lariats, i try to do that a lot of times and i just miss it.

I’m not sure about the forward teleports, can’t remember when i did it. Either it was a missed one due to crossup or i was just nervous.

And everytime i tried to throw him i got lariat’ed. Thats why in the final matches i just stooped trying.

Thanks for the tips gator ! I’ll upload some more videos soon.

your akuma is good, you must practice a lot!

whut

Your hair is good, you must brush it a lot

Yes I’m from brazil theboss, are you from brazil too ? Do you know Portal Versus ?
I play in PSN and with friends offline

Sou brasileiro tambm!

No momento estou sem vg, meu PS3 antigo deu YLOD… Devo pegar um slim no Natal, assim que puder te adiciono minha lista. Qual a sua ID?

sarda I took a look at match 3 and saw that yu need to punish blocked ex green hand better…at least with cMP->BnB or at best demon. Also if the gief was aware you did your cMK->demon buffer way to early…since he empty jumped and was still high enough to throw a normal to hit with active frames he could have HP or knee dropped you into a combo out of it. Otherwise pretty good execution and spacing. Teleport to get the fuck away from gief. You want to be near him on your terms.

Thanks Bokkin for the tips. I watched some of youre matches and they were great.

Yeah, i missed a lot of green hand punished opportunities, it was because i messed some of them up and i got really scary of messing it up again. Thanks for the tips.

Ae the boss, minha psn GuiSarda. Me manda seu email via PM. Espero voc l no www.portalversus.com.br/forum blz ?
