SSF4 Akuma thread

Until someone spends a good hour in training mode with the finalized version of SSF4 akuma and has tested out every possible way he could land his Utlra 2 I don’t think it’s fair to call it worthless.

But wtf didnt seth killian say that ‘if there comes an Anniversary Edition of SF4, where you could choose both their SFIV and SSFIV counterparts most players would pick their SSFIV counterpart?’ What are we getting exept for nerfs? Guess he meant everyone exept akuma players>_> But why akuma he wasn’t even that overpowered…

i laughed so hard haha

bastard :smiley:

i suspected tomfoolary, so i didnt click link…

I’ve been rick roll’d so many damn times by that same one I question every youtube link that starts with those first 4 characters.

anybody tried it yet?

Yeah I’m curious about that… there had better be some way, even if obscure, to combo into Ultra 2… especially since there doesn’t seem to be any possible way of landing it outside of a combo…

One would think that the devs would give the 2nd Ultra some sort of purpose, but you never know.

But even if it did work, ultras already will get lower damage output, and you waste full super meter trying to get an ultra that looks like crap, does crap damage and gets scaled like crap. Not really much use, even if it was a way to get into ultra 2

It would still be better than not being able to combo into it at all. The other problem with it though is it might not work after a lk tatsu because of juggling properties, so if it does work you would have to combo it like ryu’s ultra (cr.lp>lp srk>fadc>ex shaku>ulta 2). I really you can combo into it some other way than ex zanku.

C. Viper says hi and welcome to the pool of disappointment and (as of now, but could change) S. Killian lies. The water is warm -_-

^ Because you’ve spent a solid amount of time in training mode with C.Viper in SSF4 and know exactly what’s going on with her this time. You’ve rationally come to the conclusion that C.Viper’s nerf is not justified and there’s absolutely no way she may have been given something else that makes her stronger.

People are getting very annoying with the worrying and complaining. Capcom knows what they’re doing.

man, didn’t you hear?! One of viper’s moves that used to be -1 on block is now speculated to be…~~~~ -2 ~~~~!!!

Seems to me that they’re trying to nerf spammable, abusable moves (mp thunderknuckle, akumas far RH) in favor of all around balance. Wouldn’t you rather have that? An all around balanced character instead of a character with one move that you can just throw out all the time?

Cry some more Dasvanu.

Yeah which is why they gave cammy/fei counter ultras and akuma a rofl of an ultra.

there’s 10 new characters. obviosly some rebalancing HAS to be done.

Hadoken and Tiger Shot say hi.

Possibly. I’m curious to see if this theory carries over to Bison’s lk scissors, Sagat’s knee and Rufus’ Galactic Tornado just off the top of my head.

rofl, that’ll be the most stupid thing ever if they removed safety on bison’s LK scissors kick and you’re on 0 frame adv and that is entirely different matter than akuma’s HK loop since that allows unlimited combo potential whereas bisons LK scissors doesn’t, I do however hope they don’t do anything to sakura’s hurricane loop.

Neither of you must realize how dumb you look replying to a joke post. I forgive you.

But since you would like to bring my knowledge into this, I’ll play along.

Do you know what -1 means to a character with no 3 frame moves? It means that you (the opponent) can use a 4 frame move to interrupt her next move. There’s a reason you don’t see mp tk spam at high level, because it doesn’t work. Everyone has a move to stop her. The best she could do is throw, which would reset the momemtum anyways if you teched.

And where did you guys get the only going to be -2 from? We were discussing the fact that the only way she wouldn’t get SRK-punished is if it was such a minor change as -2. **NO ONE knows how bad it is, or if the nerf even made it to the final game. **

Try harder next time you wanna pull stuff out of you arse to troll me, CAUSE I DON’T PLAY DAT

esp. you soap head. I’ve seen you trolling the other threads. Don’t test me I will shut you down.

lol -2 frames possibly means a free SPD.
