How about that yesterday I got hit with a fierce DP that hit me for 4 hits and 50% damage? 
One time I fought an Akuma online, and he hit me with an early anti air jab shoryuken, landed did forward hurricane kick, jab shoryuken for a three hit combo. I found myself laughing while yelling obscenities, because for as retarded and random as it all was, I found it very funny.
LOL EDIT-Just saw that Ondrej voted in favor of not banning Akuma. That is fucking hilarious, thatās it, Akuma CANNOT BE BANNED! ONDREJ HAS SPOKEN!
Of course Ondrej did not vote to ban Akuma, he enjoys nastiness in ALL ITS FORMS IN ANY GAME.
I havenāt seen Ondrej in like 8 months, he should post.
Ondrej thinks its okay to pick Gill in 3rd Strike, so there ya go.
Doinā a 10 hour gig tomorrow but I hope you all have a great time.
Apoc.
Why ban him? Just pick Guile, flashkick his air FB setups, and airthrow him out of his DPs (ala [media=youtube]pzson3pjPXU"[/media]). What?! What!? What!? What?!
That video is tight.
ST, such a glorious game. Poetry in motion.
If Akuma doesnt get banned Ryu Will, because there is no point on picking Ryu when you can Pick Akuma and get Air fireball shinanigans, a red fireball that is a 3 hit combo by itself, and lets not talk about his Invincibles Dragon punches. and have you seen the hitbox of his standing MK??? i was playing Akuma last time i played HD remix and his standing MK is like one of the best Anti air in the game.
but out of all his B.S. Akuma is a very Fun character to play with. and you will get a lot of hate mails when you beat people online with his shinanigans.
Akuma should be banned. He was banned through life of ST before HD Remix so why make him a tourney worthy character? The answer most people will tell you is that the game is balanced. It was easy to balance the rest of the cast in relation to each other because nearly every match up has been analyzed for the last 10 years. Akuma on the other hand wasnāt played seriously by anybody so no one really took the time to figure out how to beat him in the first place.
I donāt think that you can make up for 14 years of Akuma not being played and just stick him in the game with a few tweaks and call it balanced. You also canāt argue that if you use a certain character it is much easier because now you are just avoiding the main issue of the character not being fair. I say ban him.
Simply put, and well said.
Played with the Akuma in training mode. Some stuff I didnāt know-
All three dragon punches are invincible all the way up. Ken doesnāt even have that.
I looked at standing mid kicks hit box, and jesus it stretches from far beyond his foot almost across his whole body, with zero hittable frames inside the area. I heard it was bad, but I had no idea.
I donāt know about this, but his fireball recovery seems better than ryus, or at least as good.
His fierce fireball knocks you down and sends you all the way across the screen on hit.
I voted no because itād be more satisfying to low parry his mixup into carry, bind, and wall comboā¦ or simply ss the damn fireball.
ā¦ oh wait, wrong game. Did I mention Seattle needs to get T6 already? =P
Are you in Japan now, Murakumo? (We met at Zachās a long time ago but I wouldnāt be surprised if you donāt remember me. I was just amazed at your 'Sim tricks in marvelz).
I saw T6 played a lot in the Philippines, and IMHO the game looks fucking retarded. Marvel, ST and Virtua Fighter are so far ahead of that dumb game I donāt even understand why people would ever want to play it.
I was in Japan last year, but Iām in Korea now and I play a couple times a week at probably the best Tekken arcade in the world. Maybe thatās why itās fun. Itās actually a lot more fun than DR, IMO. All machines here are set to 120% life settings and itās pretty balanced. I could see 2-combo kills on 100% settings being retarded, and Bob is absolutely retarded. BR will be trying to balance it more as DR did to T5. Added juggle damage scaling and quicker wall along with nerfed low parries make poking a better option in BR, also ss has been un-nerfed in BR.
The more I play, the better it gets. I donāt know if itās just because of where Iām playing, but the game is heaps of fun and any character is pretty viable, which is amazing considering the size of the cast.
Edit: To build hype for Seattle T6 come console release, Iāll soon post of vids of me playing at Green (top Korean Tekken arcade, 16 back to back machines for 32 ppl Tekkeninā it up at a time). The game is gooooood. =D
Me at Green on T6
