i’m sick of trying to play this game tactically by zoning and am just going to learn to rush the fuck down while at least having some range options. How well does Wolverine/Dante/Akuma work?
I was thinking of jam session assist, but I was wondering if weasel shot would be better? I’d rather Wolverine on point since his assists are crap, and Dante isn’t as good of an anchor as Akuma…unless I’m cokmpletely wrong? Any help would be awesome.
I know, but that’s how it should be. Why would such an insanely potent mainly safe assist give you something like 3 meter, especially when Dante can burn anywhere up to 5 bars to continue his combos?
Yeah I like Akuma assist because of the utility. Once you get in their face he gives you LOOONG ass block strings that they can’t advance guard or nothing and he comes out was faster than Sent allowing you to get that block string easily once you touch them. I’ll take the hit stun scale for such block stun cheapness every other 5 seconds.
I’m kinda missing what you’re saying. What is so good about block strings, and in particular why can’t you advance guard Akumas? The range on his normals is absolutely terrible, so what does he offer?
And you guys can disregard whetever I said about the scaling being too bad to do a good follow up, i didn’t know what the fuck i was talking about, my tests weren’t conclusive enough.
You can go into J.H>5M>5H>Cold Shower>Prop and 5H>Volcano>J.H>Airplay>J.H>5S>Stuf>Killer Bee>Charge shot loop and J.H>2M>5H>5S>Charge Shot>Prop. Fuck this assist
You can technically use advancing guard against Akuma’s assist as with any assist. However, assists do not get pushed back by Advancing Guard, so when people say that, they just mean it allows for a lot of extra pressure and mix-ups while the assist is soaking up your attempts to Advancing Guard.
I’m not talking about the assist. I’m talking about the character. After playing Trish/Zero/Dante/Wesker for so long, I can’t get used to this guy’s stubby limbs and bleh normals…
I think it’s a bit smarter to try and zone more with Akuma, unless you got DAT X-FACTOR. Then it’s time to rush down and yes, random tatsu it up and if you’re lucky, punish with Akuma’s normals into a simple combo. Don’t really need anything more if he’s got DAT X-FACTOR.
