Btw, are there more? did you make those? Would like to see some animations of Chun-li’s training costume.
That ain’t happening, MK is a shit franchise.
Demon grabs on first frame iirc. So if you arent doing something to get out of it before the flash, you got bodied.
That is day -1 stuff 
I don’t love MK, but plenty of people who aren’t me seem to like it just fine. At least they do whenever a new one comes out.

They are wrong.

Cause of death: Down back was last input pressed before first active frame of demon starts. Up not pressed until after screen freeze.

That’s what I’ve been thinking. Smash will be huge this Evo.
Okay, so I need to input a jump before the flash happens then? Thanks guys! When I get home, I 'll begin practicing as soon as possible.

SamSho is looking delicious, but this is SNK so I know the netcode will be awful.
And true awful, not “SFV netcode awful” where most of my matches are good, some are playable, afew are so laggy you can’t see what is happening and wifi warriors should be flogged in public for their crimes.
SNK netcode is just sad and most matches will be pretty laggy. 
Yup. Especially at the rank you’re at most Akumas are just going to yolo demon after doing a random special move and hope you didn’t hold up in time. If you just act like a boss and hold up long before they do the demon you’re out.
Only problem is when you run into galaxy brain people like Sako. At that level of play Momochi wanted to sit and block because Sako could have just did meaty button and comboed into demon if he tried to jump. Sako figured that and went back to first layer with yolo raw demon and Momochi got got.
He did off of a perfectly whiffed tatsu that looked like it could have whiffed just long enough to punish also. Especially since nobody plays Kage you’re just going to look at that really.

Holy shit the new MK character Centrion looks fucking crazy!
Capcom on life support? 
It’s not really something new something you can practice. You have to recognize the setup and know the demon/720 is coming before they get to it.
If it makes you feel any better, canonically, the raging demon has never actually killed anyone.

Sure Capcom FGC division is depressing coming from a Blizzard background. I was used to the main dog always countering an announcement from the competition with something of its own. Capcom just bends over and takes it.
So I’ve been playing Power Rangers for the past few hrs. The game is mad fun, but holy fuck, the blocking bug online is trash. Blocking low or high is literally not possible most of the time. It’s so weird and annoying. Outside of that, the mechanics of the game really have that Vs series vibe.

I’d say it’s still not bad to do a few training drills where you record Akuma doing whiffed move/demon setups and holding up preemptively. Just to get the muscle memory for it.
Key is if Akuma is whiffing shit around you and has full bars, demon is probably coming.
Don’t need to block if you make sure you don’t need to block

For sure.
The other common one online is Zangief and his hop kick.
I just don’t want to imply that it is something you can truly react to.
This game is mad fun, even if you can’t block when you play
