Akuma’s forum is flooded with tears. Whine over her, tear over there, threats of suicide on the other side, etc… It’s comical. Akuma is still top tier. He will still be good in AE2012
Why does Akuma need to be at a disadvantage? Your argument feels like it is based on being at plus frames.
The damage nerf affects everyone regardless of skill level. The frame data change affects players who use the move properly. The fact that there is a proper way to use the move indicates to me that it was already balanced. You play well and it’s useful, you play like an idiot and you die. This needs to be nerfed?
wow. really?
they have it out for akuma, but he ends up top 5 in every version?
you realize how broken akuma would be if they took away this crutch of , “but akuma is so hard to use”, you guys are hanging on to
And what happens if we back dash and Gief ex green hands? The point is after a blocked s.HK Akuma loses pressure because he has to respect the grab. Seriously Gief players had nothing to complain about. It wasn’t so dominating of a poke in that match up that Gief needed it to be nerfed. T-Hawk had a worse time against it than Gief. Seriously Gief can press 3 buttons on reaction to a pooly placed s.HK and punish it.
Ok flip throw nerf was ok, but half the other nerfs were overdone. The stun nerf was especially heavy handed because now we can’t stun anyone. We can mix up someone 4 times in a row and still not stun while characters like Seth, Viper, and Ibuki cab stun in a couple mix ups.
I would be willing to bet I could picj up Gief in two months while you couldn’t pick up Akuma in 8.
With all of those nerfs… guess what? He is still top tier. He will still have good matchups against other top tier. He will still beat Sagat, Gief, Abel, Chun. Viper and Fei matchup might slide into his favor. That’s great.
He will probably still be top 5.
I played Akuma because he was fun and actually rewarding for the time investment. So how does Capcom reward my time investment? By pissing all over me
He would be Fei
Well if you’re playing him for fun continue to do so for fun. Your time investment is not wasted. You can continue to play the character. He is 80% the same. Even buffs would be ‘pissing’ on your time investment because strategies/combos you spent time learning before become obsolete. Your character is still very effective.
Seriously if you consider this pissing all over you I’d really like to see how you’d feel if you were a Dudley player and saw his neutral jump normal buffs.
thats fine.
i except fei for the serial rapist that he is.
wont catch me complaining if he isnt top 5 tho. if i feel like hes terrible or not worth it i would
A- cowboy up and work with him anyway
or
B- find another serial rapist to make friends with
Here I am going to leave it at this. What I am pissed about more than anything is the fact the nerfs are senseless nerfs that either don’t fix the problem(unblockables) or in general weren’t needed.
I am just getting tired of Capcom’s lazy attempts at balance when the real problems aren’t fixed. Why nerf Akuma when you could buff the characters that suck?
And BTW Gief vs Akuma isn’t the bad match up it used to be. It is close to even in AE. Nothing close to as bad as it was in Super or Vanilla.
Dont listen to scrubby mike Fei has been top tier in every game hes been in he should never have been in the game in the first place, imo capcom should remove the twins, chun li, Fei and gen from the game f******* scrub characters.
I feel for ya sol akuma should never have gotten this type of treatment should have been Fei to be nerfed…
I bet ibuki would change that stun for having the best teleport in the game and a 3 frame hir confirmable dp, but maybe that´s just me.
Zangief needs to work a lot for wins in AE, are you implying he is an easy character? I didn´t say akuma is free to play or anything, just that the potential is there and that´s what a top tier is all about.
Do u know what? Go ask every dudley, juri, hakan, gouken, guile, etc…How they feel about their invested time with characters that mostly didn´t get shit until 2012. You play a character that can win tournaments and has like 2 bad matchups, stop complaining or switch.
lol. what the hell.
ROFL @ entire “characters from china” bias
Edit- entire functional non joke “characters from china” bias
Zangief is a scrub friendly character its all about guessing when to mash spd soooo skillful right Akuma much more difficult than gief.
Edit: Mike not at all i didn’t mention Dan.
U mad?
…nerfing characters that are good will increase the probability that the game is balanced. This version of the game has been created in response to the communities’ dislike of a game that they considered to be imbalanced. Making everyone suck is the easiest way for them to give the community what they want.
Viper is the biggest balancing problem for them because they will destroy her if they change her. They can do whatever they want to Akuma because the response will always be what you have witnessed on this forum (he has a million options, you can nerf any of them without consequence, Akuma players can just develop another play style, theory fighter champion forever).
I’m starting to like you lol
Now I know you’re a troll. Gen? For scrubs? What a joke…
EDIT: Same goes for Fei supposedly being top tier in every game he’s been in.
Deejay is a pretty scrub friendly version of guile herp derp vortex cross up dont know why the hell they making him stronger than Guile.
me too. i actually got quite the chuckle from that scrub characters reference a few posts up
