Dude, almost everyone has ‘spoken’ to Ono (and Capcom) about Akuma’s changes.
And by ‘spoken’ of course I mean ‘bitched, whinged, complained, yelled, cried, swore and stabbed voodoo dolls.’
Has anyone seen the recent videos? : p
Daigo’s obviously excellent at zoning and anti-airing, but it seems as though he always likes to go for completely safe setups? Like Palm sHP fireball after sweep or TK fireball after palm. Nonetheless, I still think he has ways to go before catching up to tokido. Hope akuma gets some damn buffs for 2012 on nov 30 so daigo will actually stay with him :]
It’s nice to want things…
Daigo and his Akuma at 1:47:20
It’s great to watch Tokidos reactions while he sits in the background, pointing his finger when Daigo DP’s.
It is. It’s nice to also receive things. I’m not going to be salty about Akuma nerfs, but I demand that he gets some buffs to compensate for everything he’s been hit with. Whether it be more damage, stun or setups, anything is fine really. I hope Akuma gets that, just like how Viper lost EX Sessimo throw invin but gained more juggle ability for EX BK. Something reasonable to compensate for akuma’s nerfs.
The idea of Capcom buffing Akuma in any way is crazy talk.
I just hope Ono and Capcom gets enough letters of persistent hate mail for them to give Akuma some remote changes that could benefit him, like stun on his sweep.
Most top players are mentioning that Akuma will be top in AEv2012, either best or 2nd best. If anything Capcom could nerf him more lol
IMO they’re focusing too much on the nerfs to Yun/Yang and how they’ll be easier matchups for Akuma while not paying enough attention to the rest of the cast, Akuma had many even matchups and ones that are slightly not in his favor, some of those characters got buffed while Akuma got nothing but big nerfs.
9 more days till the official changes are released and less than a couple of weeks till the patch is out in the arcades, nothing but a waiting game now. I remember many people thought Akuma would be the clear top character in SSFIV but then we saw most tiers lists with charge characters and Cammy on top.
I want someone to rebalance the Capcom development team.
Clearly those with the derp ideas are overpowered within their internal democracy, assuming of course a design/balance democracy even exists.
That’s putting it mildly. How many hard matchups will Akuma have in 2012 if Yang and Yun are nerfed heavily?
Fuck Akuma (when I play with Rose lol).
With Daigo interested in using him we may be in for a pleasant surprise.
Oh good, looking at Daigo’s character history we will be nerfed to ass in 2013. Daigo will then move on to C.viper or something, who will finally be trash in 2014.
So there you have it. Our 15 minutes along side Ryu and Yun.
Yeah that was funny, I didn’t notice Tokido when I was watching it live. He’s all “man how does he hit those AAs?”
Well they did rebuff Ryu for Daigo so maybe now they won’t touch Akuma. crosses fingers
“For Daigo” Haha, right.
Let’s see…
Mashed HP DP, FADC cr.LP: 1 frame link
cr.lp, cr.MK: 1 frame link
cr.MK xx Teleport xx U2: Hardest fucking combo in the game.
Daigo the Beast indeed lol. We’ll be seeing so many clutch Ultra 2’s from him…
Too bad the damage is ass and he could have used s.hp to make the combo easier and more damaging.
Was nice to watch tho.
I think i read somewhere that daigo had his stick modded, so left of his lp is select, so he can plink light punches too. That makes shoryu fadc cr.lp and, cr.lp > cr.mk 2 frame links if you plink them right. But cr.mk teleport U2 is ridiculously hard though. But there was a video recently showing a shortcut for u2? I haven’t tried it yet, but the input is half circle up + KKK, up + KKK.
Seth said that about the SFxT stick. Still, he plays most of the time in the arcades, and at some tourneys in Japan he doesn’t have that stick.
I saw that video/tutorial on EH, it basically says you do qcf up + KKK, but actually he does forward, then qcf up + KKK. Might as well just do a SRK.
For me there’s two simple ways to do it…
2mk, 14789KKK, 8KKK & 3mk, 29KKK, 8KKK
Practice it and you will see that’s not so hard
