We already defeated Sheng-long! The Akuma Video Thread

I seriously hate Akuma’s English voice. I can stand Ryu’s, but Akuma is just bleh!:wasted:

On a side note I think some of his combo choices where rather poor. There is no point in ending with a LP.SRK if you aren’t going to FADC into a red fireball. He is definitely a skilled player no doubt, but his choices are perplexing. Only reason I could see him doing some of those is because he was playing with the other guy.

Not really blaming him, I was just curious. I really like his style though. Vicious linking and crazy mindgames.

I’ve linked, or at least combo’d into sweep quite a lot, but I’d say it’s more by accident than anything when I do it.

Yeah I have been getting real lucky with my second hit of f.HK hitting then comboing to sweep

Meh, I think under normal circumstances I’m going to stick to linking to light or EX tatsumaki.

gl linking when your outside range

wait, what? how do you combo f.HK into sweep? f.HK is +5 on hit, sweep impacts in 6… Unless f.HK has some strange property where if only the second hit lands you get +6 or more.

guess i was mistaken oops

How the f*ck do you combo LP into cr.HK? I just saw Edma do it and my ‘WHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT?’ sounded like a DarkSydePhil commentary

gl getting the standing non-close lp to even come out on regular hitboxes, and then getting the 1-frame sweep consistent.

Link is stupid easy.

At that point though, you might as well do c.lk, c.lp, SRK than just spam jabs into a sweep.

Though it seems to me he was just playing with IronFist since had no idea what he was doing at all against EdMa.

^^ I agree. Ironfirst was dumbfounded or drunk…lol…not a SINGLE even ATTEMPT to counter his demon flips o.O lol. Not even a freakin jump back kick or something… the trip was to get the opponent on the ground with some decent wake-up time since you can’t quick rise from it which allows safe jumps and what not. The damage is kinda trashy though although it DOES hit regardless of crouching which is a plus. It has its uses but ed was just trying it out I think as opposed to it being something he finds “uber.” He also very easily could have eaten some wake-up stuff but the sagat was too afraid to even chance it… Just read the sagat player to a T. And scared him stiff too lol.

Its also a fricken EASY link. Actually… its funny… I find the 1 frame links easier than 2 frame links… not that either are hard but I don’t even have to try for the 1 frame links. I started using c.lp HP© offline recently and while its harder to tatsu afterwards the link itself is easy as all hell.

Pretty much everything that popped in my head exactly, word for word. I was waiting for at least ONE Tiger Upper…haha.

Yeah, I’ve been toying with c.mp, HP© lately.

I think you guys will love this Akuma…

Respectable skill level, but not amazingly good.

i was about to turn it off after the first 30 seconds of Sagat’s “tire show” lol, but once that akuma got inside it was game over, sick combos.

liked the quick loop usage at 1:23. I like and agree with what someone said on the video comments though… The sagat doesn’t know how to block a cross-up -.- lol.

I really should try and start using the loop a little more… just wish it comboed off c.lp :frowning: or that lp(f) hit crouchers… O WELL.

We need to get offline to hit any of those =P

74 is one of the best Akumas in Japan.

Pretty ill combos, it’s a shame that those standing jabs don’t really work so well on most characters/hitboxes.
