What’s the best groove for Akuma? I’ve been using K Groove and A Groove…Which do you all use?
I use him in A. But he can be good in any of the grooves.
i mostly play with him with N groove and C…and hes also got some good A groove combos…S groove can also be good…(doge then raging demon:D)
Excuse me for being a newb to the lingo, but I’m used to numpad notation, along with SP MP HP kinda thing.
I just wanna know the notation you guys use here for further reference please. Thanks
The most basic combo you’ll use with Akuma is as follows:
2.lk, 2.lk, lk, lk hurricane kick, FP uppercut to juggle.
I prefer Akuma in K, because every round you’ll have access to a Raging Demon (which he doesn’t have at all in A). Learn some Raging demon mix ups, and you’re set. Although, the best Akuma is Ohnuki’s, and he plays him in N… so pick your poison.
Best pokes would be 2.mk, decent range and you can cancel to fireball to keep them off you.
Just remember, Akuma = Rushdown. Take control of the match, and make them respond to your attacks. Once they get the flow of the match on their side, Akuma takes hits like a bitch, and you’ll be dead in no time.
Which uppercut we talking about here? 2.FP or 263.FP?
And if possible, what can I use to juggle off of 263P?
Nothing can juggle off the 623P. The only way is they are jumping, and you hit them with the very tip of the uppercut. If you are in that position, throw another uppercut.
What you want to do is hit them with 1-2 lks, then do the hurricane kick (214 lk), then do the uppercut (623 FP). Make sure you hit the uppercut as low to the ground as possible for more damage.
Great. Here’s my next question.
I’m constantly seeing xxx or xx in a combo string. What do the x’s indicate?
Also, I’m not familiar with the term ‘crossup’.
xx means to cancel a normal move to a super. you know, so it connets and shit.
Cross up. Akuma’s is cross-up mk. you jump over a character and press mk. so u can combo the j.mk into another normal/move/super. IE:
cross-up mk, c.lp,c.lp, hurricane.
Oh so cross ups are jumping attacks that will hit if you pass over the player?
