SSF4 Akuma thread

not every character needs a comboable ultra… thats just stupid, akuma is a fucking beast in SF4 and you dont need to main him to know that. Not everyone needs to be a sagat or ryu clone to be good.

also calling akuma gouki doesnt make you a dedicated player, just gay. unless your in japan and then i guess its ok.

i wish akuma got a command roll like abel’s, roll demon all day :smiley:

^but the roll best be cancellable or else u will be demoned when u roll!!! LOL would suck so much balls

If you think Akuma needs a combo-able Ultra, maybe its you that needs to do some research on the character you’re apparently seriously dedicated to.

Nothing like a self righteous scrub

Actually I like calling him Gouki cause THAT"S HIS REAL NAME…also I am a dedicated player ever since Gouki came out n SF I never played with another character again and I’m probably one of the FEW who has stuck with him since his release in capcom.

I put my time in with him n dedication with him to know his ins and outs n his weakeness and strengths. I also don’t do most of the same combos as everyone else does cause I like to have my own identity as a Gouki player.

Actually he does and i bet you atleast 90% of the people in this forum will agree with me on that. Also can you explain WHY Gouki doesn’t need a combo able ultra? Let me guess cause he’s ok as is? cause he’s top tier? hell if its because he’s top tier then I guess Ryu and Sagat doesn’t need one either right? He deserves it as well as every character needs one and that’s point blank.

:lame:Wow your smart!!! Let me ask you a ? genius am I a scrub simply because your dumbass can’t come up with a reason as to why Gouki shouldn’t have a combo able ultra or super? Let me guess…mmmmm…“he’s top tier”…“it would make him broken”…don’t worry I’ll wait…

Akuma doesnt need comboable ultra. It would be nice, but by no means necessary. I’m still hoping he gets hadoken ultra and air hadoken ultra. Raging Demon is already a ridiculous ultra (for damage and punish ability), you just need to learn to use it. Doesn’t matter if you’re the guy who drew Akuma and made his skillset and presented them to Capcom and changed your legal name to Akuma RD Gouki, if you’re an idiot, you’re an idiot. Plain and simple. Crying cuz a ton of BETTER akuma players tell you shit just proves my point.

And I am not a ‘seriously dedicated’ akuma player, but I have played with him in every game he has been in, and i love playing as him (who DOESN’T like air fireballs?). But you’re a dick loving clown if you think that only serious dedicated Akuma players should be allowed to post here. Anybody should be allowed to voice their opinion on what they would like to see changed with Akuma. That’s why this is the AKUMA thread. Change your tampon, and come back when you’ve grown up a little.

And thanks for tellings that Akuma’s real name in Japan is Gouki. All aboard the clue train, last stop is you. Did you seriously think that people who post virtually DAILY on a STREET FIGHTER forum didn’t know the name of one of the most important characters in SF history?

btw, in japan, M Bison isn’t M Bison. Just thought you should know that. I guess I’m hardcore cuz I knew that. I’m gonna go carve dictator into my dickshaft cuz i’m seriously dedicated

Akuma is fine its just people complain because they dont play him right and use The Vortex. But cant wait for that second ultra and Full support on the demon flip cancel. Good thinking O.Red

If Ryu and Sagat didn’t have a comboable ultra they wouldn’t be as high on the tier list as they are. Akuma is high tier despite not having a comboable ultra, giving him one would be absolutely retarded.

All Akuma’s needs is his super to be a fireball that can be done in the air or on the ground.

Just when I thought there’s nothing interesting in this thread :rofl:

Just fix his demon(s). I want to be fearful of them again.

Every one CAN voice their opinion I never said no one could…wow your smart!!! Also writting “dickshaft” just makes you look plain stupid…also M.Bison is really a garbage character but I guess you are one as welll for playing him…

And again why would Gouki having a combo able ultra or super make him retarded??? I’m still waiting for someone to explain as to WHY giving him a combo able ultra or super would make him retarded…can someone please step up??

Also if any of you have money out it up on the line that once they give Gouki a combo able ultra or super he won’t be #1 in the top tier but maybe #3 or #4. Also using his vtex is good n all a very good tool to use but I just want one 2 things done to Gouki,a combo able ultra/super and a faster recovery on his ashura Zenkuu that’s it.

Yo, captain double / triple post, I swear some people in here need to stop posting and clearly do some serious research on specific players. If you don’t know a person personally then don’t accuse them of not being a serious AKUMA player.

Akuma is my secondary. I’ve used him in tournaments. I main Fei but for bad matchups I use Akuma usually. I probably have a better Akuma than you.

My point on Akuma is one of the best characters in the game and I don’t think they need to nerf / buff him at all. Yes, he’s getting a new ultra. Should he be able to combo that? Sure, why not. He’ll get his super fireball and then you can do ryu DP hit confirm into fireball. Or hell you could probably end up doing standard BNB into ultra instead of finishing it with red fireball. And he’ll be FUCKING AMAZING if he can do this.

So then depending on the matchup you can go for a punishment ultra (demon) or you can go for a damage ultra in cases where you won’t be able to get a reliable punish with ultra demon.

As far as normals and what not, he does fine in this game and yet isn’t broken. So why change that?

What’s the point of answering your own question and then saying “don’t worry I’ll wait?” Do you think saying that makes the truth less valid?

The ability to easily land/combo ino ultra is a huge determining factor of who’s good and who’s not so good in SF4. Look at all the best characters in the game and they all have this in common, while the bottom barrel characters have little to no options.

With this in mind, consider that Akuma is the exception to this rule and is up there with the best in the game, despite not having the otherwise universal ability to easily combo into ultra that all the other really good characters have. Simple logic dictates that Akuma must then have other unique advantages that compensate for lack of easy ultra, which he does. Using more 2+2 logic, you should be able to see how adding the powerful ability to combo into ultra to his other excellent tools that already make him great, would make Akuma the best character in the game by a large margin.

This is to say nothing of the fact that his lack of comboable ultra is also somewhat compensated by its massive damage should you land it in bait/punish situations.

The fact that none of this is good enough for you means that you probably don’t know how to play Akuma right in the first place and are just looking for an obviously OP character to make up for your lack of skill. Or maybe you’d rather just trade Akuma’s godlike combo and mixup options (since you can’t use them right) for the ability to combo into ultra?

Either way, it makes your high horse’d “dedication-to-Akuma” post laughable and you’re better off just using Ryu. He seems to fit your needs better.

I wager Akuma’s new combo into ultra will be the whole light tatsu shoryu fadc shebang into super fireball.

They’d have to take his stamina down to 700.

I wager that he’ll have air fireball only.

Dude, what do you even know? Your Akuma is utterly garbage. You’re a straight up online hate-mail scrub. After I waxed your LAGGY ass online you sent me a bunch hate-mails telling me I need to train, and started making up excuses claiming that I only beat your scrub ass because you “accidentally” did an EX shoryu. It’s called baiting a DP. Anyways, don’t be so salty, IT’S ONLINE! WHO GIVES A SHIT?

Then you sent me the same tired old “see you at evo” message that all “try-to-sound-pro” scrubs send after they lose. Don’t know why you guys always use Evo. There’s plenty of big tournaments before Evo. I guess that’s the only one you know of, not that you’d even be there.

Akuma doesn’t at all need a combo-able ultra. Why? There is no reason to make a top tier character stronger. That’s like saying “why shouldn’t Sagat have a faster walk speed. don’t just say cuz he’s top tier”. It’s because he doesn’t need it and there is no reason to give it to him.

Akuma already does ultra-like damage for no meter. What more could you possibly want?
