Abel in SSF4: “Akuma cant Loop me to death?!, I guess i got lucky… this time.”
If reversals are harder or have less invincibility in general, Akuma will be the toppest of top tier in SSF4. That vortex is serious business. He already owns more than half the cast for free on one knockdown.
well i heard vortex was taken away?!
Where did you hear that? And how do you “take away” the vortex?
I heard Demon Flip was slower, so it neutralizes it.
But I’ve also heard that Akuma has been “un-nerfed”, so take from it what you will.
yep i heard the same(i was hoping it wasnt true), i hate that ish.abel gets raped for free during a knockdown
Abel vs. Akuma is BAAADDD. :lol: Vortex is only like half the reason though.
I don’t know…I feel like good blocking and smart backdashing can save you from vortex often enough but the main issue in SFIV was that once he caught you it usually lead to ridiculous damage. If you were a big character like Sagat or Abel you basically just got laid out once he started rolling it. If Akuma didn’t have shit health then I probably would have complained more about it myself. Though Akuma has to be played very smartly cuz he can lose matches too easily off one wrong move or mistake.
I won’t believe that until I see video evidence. Juris NORMAL counter works on armor breaking moves. Having a counter ultra get owned by a tatsu would be an even bigger slap in the face than having counter ultras in the first place.
Yea if I talked like I knew whats what all the time then posted plain evidence that I’m so fucking stupid I don’t even know how damage scaling works in this game, I’d probably resort to personal insults as well.
the reason abel match is so crappy is because abel does his damage on knockdown and kuma has a get out of jail free card with teleport also far roundhouse rapes all of abels pokes.if it wasnt for EX TT and roll this would be a 3-7 maybe even a 2-8 lol
you do resort to personal insults…in the very same line no less. Two peas in a pod I suppose. BTW respond if you like, but you are officially on ignore, I have no use for socially awkward acerbic trolls.
Yeah, I heard Akuma doesn’t have a jump.
Now THAT would be a nerf! :xeye:
Akuma’s vortex does NOT rely on the demon flip, save for the occasional DF > throw.
The DP nerf, however, makes dive kicks better, so who knows.
What is important is that Ryu players will now actually need to know how to play.
DISCLAIMER: the above does not apply to SRK people, that are usually pretty good anyway, but to the legions of herpderp > ultra-ers the game has seen an onslaught of after Ken turned out to really, really suck.
suck my crisp lol
if u have been playing ryu in sf4 and now changing to other advantageous player such as dudley, then i was right all along.
having aduken is advantageous, using aduken is chicken, and abusing aduken is winning in sf4
brucelee-kid
be like me and stick with fei long in ssf4.
die with honor or win with a cheap character. brucelee-kid rather dies with honor!
Once a turtle dropped a napkin just to have the chicken ride on it’s shell through the moonlight while the music obnoxiously boomed from the corner.
translation: Turtling is gay
get the fuck outta here
How does DP FADC Ultra work in SSFIV? Can both hits be FADC’d or only the first/second?
Aduken? You don’t even know what the moves are called. GTFO
Please ban this troll from the forums. Clearly he’s taking a piss about projectiles and probably gets his ass zoned to shits, if you can’t handle being zoned then you should stop playing street fighter period.
Zoning has always been a integral part of the game whether you were doing the zoning or whether you were getting zoned, projectiles and zoning have ALWAYS been an aspect in nearly ALL of the SF series (except SF3 and to a lesser extent the Vs series), we’re into SF4 now and you’re still complaining about hadoken, something that’s been in the game from pretty much DAY 1, just GTFO.
