EVO 2011 Akuma Players

Nah dude, people need to stop saying “the best mixups come from Seth” and start saying “the best mixups come from Poongko”, nowhere will you see a Seth like his, NOWHERE. I don’t find Seth that hard to face, simply because you can get owned the entire game, land an ultra and 1 BnB and he’s pretty much dead so I go for them max damage punishes everytime. Even then, as you saw with Poongko against Fuudo, if you play smart and calculated and punish well, even Poongko’s Seth is beatable. Fuudo played so unbelievably solid it was a joy to watch.

Anyhow, I didn’t play Vanilla and Super was my first game but can anyone fill me in as to what Akuma’s damage/stun was like. Was it considerably more than it is now? If he did get his Vanilla damage/stun back would he be a bit too powerful do you think? I already think Akuma is so perfectly balanced in this game. Nothing wrong with him IMO

Two or three mix ups was enough to stun and with Akuma’s higher damage output it was enough to end the round. Also having the ability to OS DF grab was insanely good. It made the Abel match up ridiculously good.

Wow lol, sounds pretty awesome. I think that would be a bit too much in this game though…no? Like I think Akuma is perfectly balanced right now. If Crapcom do anything to him in the upcoming patch I’ll be pissed off but if they decide to buff him in any way (99.9999% chance they won’t) then I’ll welcome it with open arms. Akuma doesn’t need touching right now IMO

I personally think they over did the stun nerf. It needed some reduction, but this amount now makes it impossible to stun without using specific combos.

That is true I guess. I remember fighting vs Yun and was constantly hitting him till about 85% of his health bar had gone and I was still yellow and he still hadn’t stunned. I was like wtf? I guess a good stun increase would be nice then. But you know Capcom, to give something, you have to take something away. So say for instance they were to give a stun increase to some of his moves, what do you think they would nerf as a result of it?

Capcom should buff characters, that would be the best way to adjust instead of nerfing Akuma IMO.

I’m not from the ST era, but I’m super jealous of those that were, look at the damage and stun output in that game, this game feels like a pussy’s game compared to ST.

I proved that my sober Sagat can’t lose to Akuma’s. Terry, you are lucky you only played my drunk Sagat, we need to run that shit back.

P.S. I hear Andy bodies you for free… :coffee:

You didn’t complain about being drunk when u were bodying that other Akuma. :rolleyes: Then you play me and get double P’d on. Glad to run it back anytime sir! :woot:

Tell Andy that the cab driver thanks him for the $5 tip I gave him from our MM. :wink:

<3 you guys! :smiley:

Why would I complain about being drunk, while drunk?? That’s just silly :wonder:

I’m gonna drop Makoto and Abel and focus entirely on Sagat, just so I can beat you. Once I do, my life-long goal will be complete, and I’ll be able to ride out that victory forever…

Also, Andy wants to run it back…for 1k and a Chun shirt… Challenge accepted?

Sagat shuffle. :X Tell Andy to stay free.

Niggas don’t know about the shuffle…

word.

Lol. It’s funny that nobody has ever heard of Fuudo. Dude played Ryu in Vanilla. There’s loads of matches of Daigo vs Fuudo.

Fuudo is also a Virtua Fighter legend.

I heard you played a Yang/Chun player (Jeffeffect) in your pools? he’s one of my friends. did you 2-0 him?

He went with Yang and I won 2-1.
