How’s Gouki going Naz. Still playing live? I’ll probably be on Mame when I get my laptop although I don’t know about live. I was at college and there were some scrubs playing 3s on dreamcast. Let’s just say they felt the wrath hahaha. I went on 2 20 win winning streaks after someone finally kicked me off the first time. They all sucked so not like it mattered.
wow I havent posted here in a while.
blocked sweep demon as everyone has mentioned, ofcourse. fantastic.
Cross over with a roundhouse into demon gets it done plenty of times as well
Wake up demon when i want to be exceptionally scrubby
other than that i guess some sneaky dash/kara demon setup.
Harmonaz- how did you to at SBO? A good amount of my friends were there for tekken actually (and fubarduck for 3s)
I can confirm that this was a first-week-of-3S Hsien Chang set-up. :lovin:
i’ll believe it. I need to learn akuma stuff from him sometime… but i have a feeling lesson 1 will be play Ken/yun/chun
Here’s a good demon setup works well for blocking opponents especially in corners. cr.lk > s.lp > KD and you don’t have to do a KD. You can pause after the s.lp and hopefully your opponent will try to poke you or something then just do a RD.
Ok, I’m playing Akuma more seriously now.
How do you Kara-Demon?
Is it:
Twd MP => do the Demon motion really quick
OR
LP, LP, Twd+MP, LK, HP
or neither?
Thanks.
Both!!!
The first is Foward Mp, Lp, Lp, DownForward, Lk, Hp(True Kara-Demon)
the second(Kara-Demon) is just as you said, but it’s more useful to mask the Lps. On a personally note I find that the KD is more effective then the TKD. Which is why I don’t use it that much. That and it’s hard as hell to perform on pad.
Why is KD more effective than TKD?
Do you think it’s possible to do KD during dash? so like, after the dash, you see the F+MP but then Demon come out really fast?
That can be one thing, Like from a reset or something.
But other than that, TKD is a must learn thing, Because there aren’t many ways to hide the two lp’s on just the KD…In my opinion.
So er…yeah, That was my question…
yes you can kd off a dash and you dont need to do true kd.
dash (jabs inside dash) land f+mp lk fp
Uh, Thank you.
You’re… quick man.
some say
You can actually hide the two lps in any of his moves, at less I can any way.
you cant from moves that chain into jabs (meaning c.lk) unless you hold fierce first.
Yeah which is why I use the setup that I mentioned awhile back(cr.lk>s.lp>KD). Most players if they block a cr.lk will still crouch block and that gives you ample time after the s.lp to do a KD. Now if you hit confirm then there is no reason to do any kind of RD when you have meter,but if you bait the cr.lk and you’re close enough to the opponent you should be able to mask your lps. I would use your method epsilon_, but like you know I can only play on pad and due to my button setup holding fierce is just going to make things difficult for me. But I guess this method and alot of others is more useful on a stick.
the setup i always use is:
Close :mk: (:lp:+:lp: buffered) :df::hk:+:lk:+:hp:
its kara’d off :df::hk: Sweep. I believe sweep demon has the most range. Im not sure if you can land a standard kara demon using cl.mk.
The :df::hk:+:lk:+:hp: at the end needs to be executed really fast.
Heres a vid of the range: http://youtube.com/watch?v=J1QDcrXNwto
Yeah, it does.
I use many of the ones already mentioned. I haven’t tried the Kara off of sweep yet though. Gotta give it a try. Thx for the info Pedram.
The setup I like to use the most, not because it’s the most secure or practical, is teleport to demon because it’s just so badass when it hits.:lovin: But it only has a reasonable chance of hitting if you have your opponent cornered.
I usually do tap, tap dash in to teleport and that gets me in just the right positon for a demon. Most of the time when I play against poor players though I just get punished because they just stand there doing nothing. But when I play against better players they either are neglecting my bar and whiff a grab and I demon a majority of the time, or they think I’m gonna do a dash in demon and they jump, often straight up, in which case I demon anyway and hit as they land.
It works quite often and I hardly ever get punished for it. I don’t know if it works against top players in an arcade, but it works well on scrubs, like myself, on kaillera where there is minimum 3 frame delay.:wgrin:
I’m trying to become more successful at a HP SRK (1/2 hit) -> RD.
Good luck
(It doesn’t work)
