SSF4 Akuma thread

That was some impressive stuff.

Ultra 1 still can be cancelled out of a cr.MK though. And is done so often. So I would have assumed most people would know what was implied.

You questioned the properties of cr.mk earlier in the thread and its usefulness in anti-air situations. You called the person who had spoken about these properties ‘stupid’ whilst exhibiting your own ignorance. “You can’t anti air with cr.mk!”

That’s why you got flak, and rightly so.

2 things…

1: at this point you guys are arguing over terminology because either one of you is trying to clean up the shit he left on the pages by trying to increase the dickless-age or the other one was using the wrong terms in accordance to what the other person says the terms mean. Either way it doesn’t matter so stop the clutter. c.mk, demon works as an anti-air. Doesn’t matter what you call it really. It works…ppl understand the input…so who cares. hush about it at this point. First one to stop the petty comments is the bigger person.

2: Those were not standing 720 motions… still decently impressive… but the person was still buffering during the walking.

And then of course I have a question… what is akuma’s new costume? not that I give a shit or would ever be stupid enough to by a dlc costume in a videogame for the cost of a pack of beer for me, my girl, and some friend… but I’m trying to start something other than flame war crap or the 10th iteration of “awwwwww MAAAAAAAAAaaaaaAAAAAAn … his HK is worse and his ultra is crappy.”

SO WHAT IS HIS COSTUME… and WHAT DID/DO YOU WANT IT TO BE??? (I’m going with a Giant Pikmin antenna and gouken’s hair being used as as gloves and belt in place of the rope…dude likes his hemp… i guess?)

His rope is going to be shaped like heart and will fill up with pink energy every time he does a special

@GATOR now that you mention it i still have yet to see akumas new alt. has it still not been shown??

His and Gouken’s haven’t been shown yet I think.

lolwut?

How do you buffer a 720 walking? You can’t. If you’re rolling the stick you wouldn’t be walking. Its a standing 720.

Entirely not what I said.
Having an ultra CANCEL from cmk DOESNT help with anti air because you can only CANCEL from a move that connects which would render the ultra useless. If akuma players have their own language then fine, but don’t menstruate all over the forums just because someone else didn’t know what you were referring to when YOU named a wrong mechanic.

I knew about cmk -> AA demon. There was no ignorance present. Its still not an anti air cmk.

But everyone in the whole fucking thread knew what he was talking about, except you. STFU already and move on. /argument /discussion <newtopic>

Actually I said ‘it would not be usable as an anti-air unless it was cancellable from a cr.MK, and then you may as well use Ultra 1’, which is accurate.

I don’t really see the purpose of this long-winded line of argument?

Anyway, I hope there are some further set ups discovered for Ultra 2 as it seems to be very uninspiring at present. As it is too slow currently to even use after a Focus Crumple, it seems like the only purpose of this Ultra is to put in promotional videos for the release of the game.

Hi, i’ve been reading srk for a long time. This is the first time i’ve actually had anything to contribute though so this is my first post.

You can buffer standing 720’s in the walk by swithching your stick over to use the left stick instead of dpad. your character continues to walk for a little after letting go of the stick.

also has anyone tried comboing ultra 2 by srk>fadc>shaku>fadc>ultra 2 or srk>fadc>ex shaku>ultra 2 in corner?

yeah dude i stoped adressing him because he is clearly trolling us all and as we all know trolls are always right. also, EVERYONE and their mothers knew what was ment by canceling c.mk into ultra. but i think we are better off not even addressing trolls agreed?

that might have potencial some one try this plox

Why are we on the 2nd page?

2 things: Did anything change about the insane amount of Special Bar a raging demon gives your opponents? It fills for a good 2-3 bars iirc. Also, maybe the nerfed HK will come with the advantage that it jails on ALL crouching characters, not just people with large hitboxes? Maybe the info’s already given but havent read it so far.

It’s consistent with the game’s mechanics. Remember the demon is a multi-hitting Ultra and every time you hit someone, you give them a sliver of EX. With Ultras doing less now though, this may actually be a real pain in the arse if you land it on someone - especially against Ryu and Rufus.

Nope

and Nope

RD giving so much ex bar to your opponent plain sucks vs Ryu…you’re giving him a free super, and a good ryu will tag you with it 99% of the times (blocked sweep, lol) so you’re basically starting the next round with 300 less health.

Indeed. Finisher only against that bastard.

same goes to anyone with a 1 frame super…akuma included. Even with if it gave only 2 bars that would be 1 1/2 bars more than most ultras. And it really has always been slightly puzzling given there are many other characters that I’d think would need to have a little nut shot to their ultra compared to akuma… (such as ryu, sagat, balrog, rufus, etc etc etc). But its okay the way it is anyway. Honestly there are only a few times when using the ultra instead of a combo is the better choice… and if yo uare playing well you won’t have a very strong ultra if one at all anyway *shrug.

Any clue if akumas new ultra can be canceled out of an EX tatsu? Or used right after one in the corner?

All reports insofar suggest Akuma’s second Ultra has about as many practical applications as a wet bucket of shit.

Which beyond being instrumental in jokes and pranks, translates to sweet fuck all.
