Yeah tokido not playing Ryu. I think the character still viable but Akuma does more damage, has better oki, has extra pressure tools, a better v trigger, and plays basically the same neutral.
Bunch of pluses and the only negative is -125 health.
I want Ryu old stand lk or a smidge more range on low forward.
I’m more excited about Nemo’s Urien if he sticks with it. That dude knows how to push a character to its limits. It’s a shame Vega’s limits were reached so quickly.
Nemo urien is quite likely to be the most disgusting thing to happen to fighting games in a very long time. Dudes been owning with low tier since forever… it’s time to see what he can do with a high tier, I’m already seeing disgusting stuff from the dudes urien.
Aw shit Nemo is using Urien? I need to catch up. Don’t get it twisted though, I don’t think Akuma is slow in the traditional sense…it’s more of me not making that proper adjustment yet
I’ve fought some mediocre Akuma players but I see the potential is there, the lockdown ability is still there so there’s more than hope
It’s probably already known but I fought an Akuma that ended his BNB with HK Tatsu which lead to a meaty that beat my 3f…I could of sworn I read y’all say HK Tatsu is ass cheeks.
No lab work so I’m guessing but if HK Tatsu pushes Akuma and his opponent closer to the corner than DP or EX DF conversions then…probably not?
