Matchup in AE: Gouken vs Akuma

akuma’s focus is so damn annoying.<br>most of the time i jump or sweep when i see his focus, and i get caught a lot.<br>here are a few other things i try against people that spam focus on me.<br><br>denjin will punish him on reaction.<br>if he isn’t deep into his dash on denjin’s ignition, full speed will catch him no matter what.<br>it works that way on everyone’s focus.<br><br>you can get a huge punish on focus spammers by canceling a focused normal into df flip.<br>it’s not as good on akuma since he leaps forward (sometimes you will overshoot) but it’s still a game ender if you catch him with it.<br><br>if he’s close enough, ex tatsu.<br>(ex tatsu everything you can imo - it gets your reactions sharper.)<br><br>df parry’s quick recovery usually gives you enough time to throw someone out of focus, since they are waiting to punish the df kick.<br>you can also df parry into denjin or ex tatsu or even kongo if you want, i guess.<br><br>other than that stuff, wind up focus yourself on reaction and then dash away.<br>

I imagine it doesn’t handle auto correct srks or U1?<br>

<div>Short Answer: Yes if you do it right NO if you do it wrong.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Long Answer for NO-If you aim for his prime meridian he can block either side when he wakes up, but he can only reversal by inputing srk pressing forward and doing a non-reversal srk.  He can escape with U1 that way.  This way is effective, however it is the wrong way to do it.  They will only have 1 frame or so to reversal you so its hard for the opponent.  If they have U1, just stick to using dive kick if you can only perform it this way as dive kick gives you a max combo if he wakes up with U1.</div><div><br></div><div>Long Answer for YES… BUT, if you aim for his prim meridian and ensure that Gouken stays front side then he can’t do shit about it.  It doesn’t auto-correct b/c actually you aren’t crossing him up, you get cross up only b/c he srk’d.  You’ll know if you’ve done it correctly b/c he can only block one way… (holding back), if he blocks forward to cross up he gets hit. and none of his reversals will work, including U1.  </div><div><br></div><div>This is an extension to what I posted above, hope this helps.</div><div><br></div><div>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HgFUA6KX34&feature=youtu.be<br></div><div><br></div><div>The main key to all of these unblockables/hard to blockables, un reversables/hard to reversables is being able to hit them in their prime meridian as they stand… the other part is knowing how their hit boxes shift and their wake up timing.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div>

Aka wakeup horizon … I knew u knew that!!!

With gouken as always there is not 1 way to skin each cat there’s like 2 or more situational exceptions. The more tools at his disposal the better the gouken can be.

Any gouken closing their minds to any tech unknown previously is limitig their growth bottom line… But I knew u knew that already !!

There’s some shit with Dj lk but the hit stun limits what I can do with it :frowning:

I almost alway use it for ambig poke vs srk reversal on wake against a shitload of heads , spacing varies of course … But I knew u knew dat!

Yeah, but against srks i can only seem to link to light attacks so it’s not that good for damage.

<p>This match up is one I advise everyone to use Denjin Hadouken on. Getting a hit confirm>b&b combo>Denjin Hadouken will put Master Gouki on the verge of stun. After stun, he is at your mercy.</p><p>Oh, btw, if you stun Master Gouki (and have Denjin Hadouken available for use) start up and charge Denjin Hadouken. Let it rip after 2-3 seconds of charge and follow up the wall bounce. Round over.</p><p>I prefer using Shin Shoryuken. Just my favourite ultra combo! So damaging! So epic!</p><p>“Got you! Shin… Shoryuken!”… K.O. </p><p> </p><p> </p> >:/
