Taunt into Raging Demon...applicable?

So I was messing around in training today and trying different demon setups. I’m not sure how useful the setup is but I don’t think I’ve seen it mentioned anywhere on the threads.

Basically, after landing a lk hurricane followed by a juggle with RH hurricane I taunt. (I believe thanks goes to Harmonaz for posting that strategy.) While Akuma is taunting I execute lp, lp. Then once the taunt finishes you complete the RD with f+mp, lk, hp.

If executed in the corner, it may catch your opponent off guard. Usually I see players taunt and then go for a cr.mk into SA1 or another punishing combo. Perhaps your opponent would be looking for this and plan on blocking, or get pissed that you just taunted and try to hit you with a wakeup move…

Either way, I’d love to see it in a match…because it looks way cool.

well, it wont boost damage. that set up is probably going to depend highly on conditioning your opponent. if you hid the jabs in the taunt then kara RD, thats even better.

i’ve gotten horny for this setup in the past.
never tried it in a real match though.

if you do far HK cancelled into demon, then at least the taunt will give the damage and stun boost on the HK…

yeah taunting into demon will pretty much hide your jabs but nothing more than that, its still a normal demon that can be evaded

You probably have to do a kara demon, so you’re at point blank…
Best thing is to do taunt just further than throw range…
