Damn, wish I could rush down like that.
I didn’t see a single s.HK in that EdMa video…
Sometimes you don’t need it. In this case he was playing Chun Li. She ducks and punishes those kicks with regularity. So it is a bad idea to over use it against her.
Yar… Using s.HK against chun is a death sentence. Her and Blanka are the two charge characters that duck underneath the second kick. Against non-charge duckers, it’s not too bad, against chargers, it’s very dangerous.
Wish there were more poongko akuma videos.
Yeah but there are cases where she is moving forward without time to guard against it where punishing the movement would have been worth the risk. /shrug
New (I think) footage from Momochi: [media=youtube]mpxR91nrtdE&feature=channel_page[/media]
Momochi dropping combos :o
the part that caught my eye was that the word momochi takes 3 symbols to make while nuki takes about 10
I always love the way he plays. He always seems so passive at first, but as soon as he finds an opening he becomes more savage than a lion.
Dunno if these are repeats but a couple of nice matches.
First match nothing too special akuma gets beat by blanka.
Second match (4:10) is as good as it gets vs. Sagat.
Mirror match at 9:30, vs. ken @19:55, redemption vs. blanka @32:38.
[media=youtube]Enh1DP394I4"[/media] (vs. IronFist) – Pretty interesting take on Akuma I’d say! Sick links and mixup.
such insane mindgames
And right after he told me personally that resets WEREN’T a good idea, there he goes.
go figure
I’m particularly interested in his random jab links – They remind me so much of his Ken play, I guess that’s just his style infused into a new character. I’ll definitely be trying out more random shenanigans like that.
Why’d Ed Ma switch from Ken?
Can you blame him? Ken’s a bit limited, I think he said as much.

Pretty good shit, definitely an Akuma that can change it up from your normal BnB.
whats up with those crouch jab stand jab sweep links? according to frame data you only have 1 frame to land it, and I think it only works on chars with big hit boxes otherwise you get close standing jabs when you try and link the crouching ones, which is only +6 on block(you need 7 frames to link the sweep). Can anyone verify this? I’m toying with it on just a normal hitbox char(ryu, guile, etc) at the moment.
