c.mk > sa1 with a taunt probably does more than a demon too. Still probably has better range than c.mk > fb > sa2

17

just checked it, once again using Ryu as the dummy the Taunt Lk>fb>SA1 does 72 damage

the Taunt LK>FB>SA2 77

Raging Demon 71

18

Cool. Could you also try c.MK, FB, SA1, as that link is pretty common.

19

I’m sorry Spanky that was my mistake, i have no clue why I put LK instead of MK but those are all for MK links. So it would be :

Taunt MK>FB>SA1 72 damage

Taunt MK>FB>SA2 77 damage

Raging Demon 71

(ryu as dummy)

20

Try taunt KKZ :wink: or Taunt BnB…

21

Well obviously this is all not including the 2 big boys KKZ or Demon lol

whats BnB?

22

Ah, ok gotcha.

It means Bread and Butter. For akuma, I think his BnB is Dive kick, LK tatsu, LP Shoryu.

23

noooo…

Akumas bnb is c.mk > lk tatsu > fp shoryu and all variations of course

dive kick and lk tatsu wont even combo!

24

Oh, my mistake. Thanks for the correction Pherai

@xxFedxx- BnB does mean bread and butter. Other than that, I’m pretty much full of it. Pherai knows his Akuma stuff though, and Harmonaz, and ESN too.

25

Sweet deal. my game has changed soo much since i stopped using SA3 in the past week. its unbelievable…

26

^ New Akuma players should use that line as their training motto!!

27

Sounds like a testimony of a product in those flashy tv commercials… :rofl:

I just picked up SA 3S like 2 or so days ago and was using akuma today, ill have to try SA1 instead of SA3 = )

30

You got to admit though… SA3 looks pretty cool.

Do you lose damage using it as an anti-air… Or does it do the same damage on the ground?

31

Well Akuma only goes to a certain height in the air after he does a SAIII so if you start it high above the ground, you get less damage.

32

This MvC2 player at the arcade uses akuma in 3S and hilarity ensues. He picked SA3 because its “the best” and I warned him and gave him reasons why the other SA’s were better. He didn’t believe me, and we fought. He tried linking moves into SA3, but everytime he used it, it whiffed completely. I was having such a good time messing with him. I was basically just baiting the SA3 and then punishing and he kept putting money in! It was like he was trying to prove to me that SA3 is the dominant Akuma SA. Long story short, it took an 8 game streak to get him off the machine. So Remember kids, even though a SA “looks the coolest” doesn’t make it the best. In SF, “cool” doesn’t win any money.

33

yep u can say that agen, i used to think sa2 was the best but finding u can link it with shit was funny i was like’holy shit! it’s stronger than sa1 and a great AA!!!'
but…
…no, the best things i canceled it with was first hit of shoryu and u can link it with a AF, i looked so gay in the arcades.

34

I love people who claim things they dont test. Air sa3 actually does more damage than ground sa3

35

The “best” SA2 combo is cHP, LK Hurricane, cHP, Super. There is almost no other reason to use this move.

SA3 was better in Second Impact. I guess someone at Capcom hated that super because now there is no reason to use anything other than SA1.
