Not only is this a year old, but Smug kinda played like ass. No way he should’ve been getting clipped by all those fireballs and kinda went ham. First round of the vid he gets vskill punish on air FB and I mostly skimmed, but I don’t think he did it ever again.
Boxer v akuma isn’t a matchup you see often and I’ll happily take my own matchup experience over this. Especially since I think BrianF and Iwate are better boxer players than Smug.
Samurai Shodown is coming out in a few days and it seems like everyone’s making videos of it.
Frame Advantage has a little video with every character and one on the in-game tutorial. I just chose Shiki because of waifu
Spooky’s uploading a few videos from a recent stream as well. They seem pretty good from what I’ve seen.
And we get a little peak of the story/arcade mode. It’s standard fare, all of the cinematic like stuff in the trailers appear to be intros and we get a sneak peak at the final boss.
Neither of these is an actual point either… a year old? The game was known well at that time and nothing has significantly changed the matchup with respect to air fireball/jumpin mixup at all.
The v skill punish means little since I didn’t say that akuma got in for free. I simply said that there is a mixup, that GOOD Akumas can use, when used at the right times and distances.
It really don’t matter if Brian or iwate are better, that’s the MU. It’s up to the players to decide how effective or ineffective the strategy is.
Valid argument when that’s how he was playing. He was just walking into Ex Air FBs like it was his job.
But whatevs, not like I’m the boxer main and know from experience akuma fireballs are not a problem in the matchup.
Should just listen to the almighty non one hit confirming dime who tried to hype up Falke VT2.
Edit: Akuma did eat some demon flip nerfs and boxer got decent buffs.
Matchup is hella even until akuma bulldogs boxer like cammy/Karin and puts him on ass. Then it’s like 6-4.
Akuma air mixup ain’t that strong vs boxer. You make them respect the fact that you’ll fuck em for throwing plasma and they stop doing it. Smug did not do that so he got bodied.
