Okay. Everybody like my post when they’ve done those 2 things. I’m doing it now.
I gave the links to some Akuma players in here,and asked them to twitt Seth and Ono.
Just tweeted both to Seth and Ono.
not a whole lot, but as an alternative to nerfing the actually powerful tool (sthk), its a fine suggestion that hardly warrants people basiclly telling him he’s stupid
Seth replied to my tweet. Not looking good.

[S]@[/S]VersatileSC I read em, but Akuma has been top-ish tier in EVERY SFIV game and he’s still good. Play him before you decide"
^ Didn’t these dudes tell us to voice our concerns if we had them? Now he’s telling us to just wait for 2012 and play him -_-
I replied to that tweet
VersatileSC Chris H.
[S]@[/S]sethkillian He will no longer be very good in 2012 if those changes stick unless there are buffs. I’ve mained him since Vanilla…
and
VersatileSC Chris H.
[S]@[/S]sethkillian How is he getting all those nerfs while Viper(who is winning far more than him) only gets one and some minor damage nerfs?
At least this shows that he sees our tweet and will respond. The time to put the pressure on is now.
It isn’t an alternative. It is just a pointless suggestion.
People tried to tell him that and he insisted on continuing with his argument.
Lol, like less than 1/3 of the cast. It’ll either whiff completely, or if it will whiff if previous move hit, or the OS will only cause a reset, or the OS won’t even come out.
Don’t act like it’s a pointless change.

[S]@[/S]sethkillian if you ask most of the tourney scene, they would probably tell you Viper is ahead of Akuma in AE. These changes baffle us.
VersatileSC Chris H.
[S]@[/S]sethkillian The the demon flip palm no longer hitting overhead completely diminishes his vortex/wake up pressure. Throw nerf is too much
VersatileSC Chris H.
[S]@[/S]sethkillian he can no longer pressure with safe jumps/option selects with the nerfed throw. capcom said to voice our concerns so we are.
I’m going hard lol.
AND AS I SAID. Against the people who OS HK is useful against s.LP hits against them while crouching. How do I know? Because unlike you I actually use it in a real match and don’t just talk in theory.
So tell me what balance would s.LK nerf bring about? It will help people get out of Akuma’s ground pressure right? I missed where people who actually know how to block and tech throws had a problem with it. The OS is needed to punish the retardedly good back dashes in this game. And before you even say “But it is so much better than everyone else’s” it isn’t. Maybe if you actually knew what you were talking about then you wouldn’t fail to see this. I can name a dozen characters who can OS way more damaging punishes including Ultras off their normals.
Akuma’s ground OSes are rather weak compared to most of the cast. I am not kidding when I say that. A lot of characters have nasty OSes that can end a round if you try to back dash. Just look at Fuudo vs Poongko at Evo. One of the rounds Poongko was dominating and tries to back dash once eating an OSed Ultra 1.
All your change accomplishes is to make an already defensive game even more defensive. Seriously if you think OS HK is bad then go back and play ST where block stun was 20 times worse, teching a throw only meant you take less damage instead of no damage, and there were no back dashes. Defense in SF4 is really strong compared to all the previous SF games.
ST was awesome.
Yes you are, keep it up man. I don’t have a twitter so I’ll leave this up to you guys.
All this coming from an Akuma player. I don’t know whether to laugh or facepalm…
Nevermind, I don’t have the energy to tackle this. As you were.
LoyalSol how dare you act like a pointless suggestion is ACTUALLY POINTLESS!
Honestly, who gives a damn about st.LK. It’s not what they changed, it’s a waste of time to argue over that.
Back on topic, do you think there will be even more changes? It doesn’t look like there’s any timetable of sort for these updates.
Leave him the fuck alone, fix his ex tatsu glitch. Buff other characters if necessary. That’s all.
I am predicting jump arc restrictions on air hadoukens. No more tiger knee.
I know I am not an active poster of the Akuma threads but I do stop by every other day or so to check in and see what the demon army is up to.
Even though I am not super active on the Akuma thread It is easy to see who is trolling and who is legit. If you have never taken place in a discussion of how to improve Akuma play then your words are meaningless to this reader.
I mean I almost feel like the st.hk nerf is a joke so when they give it back to we can feel good about the forward throw nerf.
Anyway carry on my demon brothers heres to hoping that some of these changes don’t stay.
Yeah,Ryu was top tiers in vanilla and SSFIV too,but apparently they are not giving him back his cr mk for nothing.Just saying.
All this from an Akuma players who’s placed well at large tournements. How stupid can I be?
