GF bought me Christmas Ken as a surprise…
Even though looking and playing against Ken gives me kidney stones, I feel obligated to mess around with him now.fml
Quote from Dime-X a couple of pages back from this very thread.
*"People have no idea about akuma right now. He has the most broken shit in the game, but has risk and low HP tied to his stupidity.
I don’t want there to be a balance patch before season 2. Akuma will be ass raped as will urien and right now they are 2 of the only characters that really feel like you’re playing actual streetfighter with strong tools not mediocre crap." - Dime-X*
**-“People don’t know anything about Akuma but I do”
-“High risk/Low Health stupid character”
-“But I don’t want Akuma’s Stupid high risk/low health nerfed”
-“I’m also implying Urien is Stupid high risk/low health”
-“they are 2 of the only characters that really feel like you’re playing actual streetfighter with strong tools”
-2 Stupid Characters
-Strong Tools
-Real Street Fighter
-Hated R. Mika Season 1
Is it Dime, Diddy, Dime Daddy or Dime Dummy? Oh I get it, you’re a shitter and Akuma’s Ugly"
@Dime_x Don’t tell him our secrets! @“DevilJin 01” is also showing Akuma to be more than fair…
How Capcom are gonna nerf the absolute hell out of him when he gets showcased at a high level. For you Balrog, Chun and Laura players, Akuma has meaties off nearly EVERYTHING. So keep mashing LP on wake up. As for Akuma mains, enjoy it whilst it lasts.
If that poll and patch changes taught me anything is that bitching and complaining is EXACTLY what I should be doing.
Clearly that is more effective than what I did in S1. Complimenting Capcom on an interesting gameplay design that was strong but not broken in any way.
They listen more to whining than positive feedback so fuck it then.
Akuma really needs meter or v meter or both to access his true scummy shit. Before then he struggles because his buttons are dogshit from range and his walk speed isnt that hpt either.
I feel like he isn’t dominating now online and he’ll only get worse as people get more used to how to fight him.
Urien on the other hand has so much shit at his disposal that many of his players dont use half his tools. And thats before V trigger enters the equation.
He has a longer dash than Nash with LESS frames recovery, long range fast pokes, +2 low cancel button with decent range, nice tick throws and he can charge normals and specials for frame advantage once he conditions you.
