While I disagree with your perception of the severity of the changes this video really made me laugh.
edit: Also this is actually pretty close to how I feel inside.
I feel I accurately portrayed the feelings of most Akuma players
from the looks of this video Akuma seems to have been given some pretty sweet buffs as well though!
Word has it from Ryan Hart’s facebook page that there is a further update after v.2012 that improves Yun. Who knows, maybe we will see some more buffs in the end then?
What does he mean by update? More changes since they’ll be testing the beta?
I got this from the yun nerfs thread in their forum. Someone mentioned it. Typing this on a tablet so I cant really copy it. Check it out if you want.
From this:
http://www.capcom-unity.com/gregaman/blog/2011/09/20/ssfiv_ae_ver.2012_beta_version_–_part_12
We have this:
"Akuma
No additional changes since the “SSFIV AE Ver.2012 Alpha” location test."
balls…
well, here’s hoping for more E.ryu buffs. Also playing E.ryu will fuck with your akuma play so much -_- …when i play Akuma again you will start doing retarded shit like trying to axe kick…
Seth got heavily nerfed with making SRK FADC unsafe on block
And the Ryu hp.SRK nerf LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
thats for seth’s 2nd dp hit. Fuck…
I was hoping that stupid dp fadc bullshit would be unsafe but most seths fadc the first hit anyway.
no tears around here? meh
That’s a buff. 160 for a raw AA is pretty damaging in this game.
Any Ryu worth his salt can AA, so if he’s committed to situations where the application is ripe, the inability to FADC is meaningless and he’ll net 160 damage. For FADC applications his game remains unchanged from AE/Super whereby mp is always the go-to DP anyway. This remains FADC cancellable.
So unless you are only playing poor Ryu players, Ryu has been buffed. Stronger projectiles, enhanced air tatsu, stronger AA.
Nay son, though evidently the expected dick-head population is returning to relish us with their tired quips.
An AA off the 1st or 2nd Active frame? LOLwut? Thats like old school Akuma 3 hit DP AA. Not a lot of Ryu players wait that long to AA
And like I said before, everyone is always willing to jump on the Akuma-hate train. They cry their character they chose to play is incomplete then cry more when Akuma isnt nerfed, or cheer when he is
are you sure there´s not a little bit of tears?
i should be looking in the ryu forums then (?)
Thank you!!
I saw Ryu’s changes and was like that’s some good stuff, then I kept on reading comments from people thinking it’s a nerf lol
Fireball 70 = back to vanilla damage and that’s good, the guy’s normal fireballs Should damage more than Akuma’s, hadoukens are Ryu’s thing after all.
HP SRK = This is an AA buff not for combos and some people don’t seem to understand that, MP SRK is still there for FADC Ultra, as Gamogo mentioned, a raw 160 AA is no joke, any half decent Ryu player has already learned to DP very late after Super was released to remain invincible and get the 2 hits of MP SRK. Also, isn’t HP SRK’s horizontal range even better than MP for Ryu? Because if that’s true, then Ryu got a very nice buff.
As for Akuma, not much to say about Capcom’s stupidity, at least they didn’t nerf him any more.
So the changes to Akuma that capcops spoke of didn’t go through?
They’re still there (both palm and forward throw nerfs).
:lame:
i will stick with my Demon till the end.
