OTG dive kick and ground bounce palm strike are technically new, but I have to admit, I am pleasantly surprised with the way Akuma is turning out.
And the Victoria Justice support in this thread makes me warm inside.
I’ve got Wesker for his OTG gunshot on team MMK. Tron/Wesker/Hsien Ko.
i have to admit, i’m very underwhelmed by achoomaz presence in yet another vs game, but after watching his trailer/gameplay vids, his abilities are looking pretty strong to me. i’m assuming he can get one hit, and build ridiculous meter and do buff damage at the same time with the right teammates (x23 for example).
barrage super seems to have better followups and possibly allows another super after it.
I think Shinku Tatumaki will punish the HELL out of incoming assists.
…but what if Shoryu super does it just as good?
It doesn’t look very safe.
What was the point of giving him fireball spam hyper AND a beam hyper? Akuma’s win pose would have been better than wasting a spot on the hyper list for one “beam” super that has a wider effective area (and potentially more damage if used near the corner) and a literal beam super that does less damage than Ryu’s.
Not sure if it’s been mentioned before, but I can’t be the only person who sees a weird fucked up version of Lion-o from thundercats when I look at Akuma in MvC3. I think it’s the skin color and how the light hits his face in every screenshot giving his mouth area a lighter shade. His hair is also red so… maybe I’m just crazy though
Air KFC has been confirmed during the Viper/Storm build.
Might have been said already, but I would’ve liked to have seen the thread title be something like “It’s always fun to kill a God. The Akuma thread”. 
Total agree. They should have just given him the fireball spams (to differentiate from Ryu) and KKZ.
kkz would be awessome
‘wasted slot’ isn’t what we want to say, they can put in as many supers for each character as they want.
I think the greatest question about Akuma as of now is: Why the hell the sound of giggling children is heard during his hyper flash and victory pose?
This.
hey guys should i make a keep away team with akuma on it(since his health is crap)or put him on my main team of haggar arthur and joe/taskmaster/akuma?(It will be viewtiful joe and another person whom i will switch between)
only asking since akuma looks like he’ll be the first if not one of the first you unlock
This has got to be the best fem-Gouki fanart I’ve seen on the net-
Honestly, I think Akuma will work way better on a rushdown-focused team since that seem more like his bread and butter in this game.
so would Akuma/Joe/Haggar work?
What assists and strategy would you use?
How can their assists help Akuma?
And how can Akuma help them on point?
