Great execution from Gema at the end of the last round.
I have a question regarding those unblockable setups. Why are those unblockable exactly? Cant you just block the cross up or is this a bug?
Those were fantastic writeups that you did for Norieaga.

[media=youtube]DpRliPXDoFg]YouTube - Tokido [Akuma] vs charysmasato [Adon[/media] …such a pain.
Gotta be buffering those demons all the time against adon! Weird that Tokido wasn’t doing it at all.
Watching Tokido and Eita suffer in the hands (or should I say feet?) of Adon kinda makes me smile. I realize I´m not the only one having problems with this matchup.
Adon’s wakeup time is most likely going to be fixed in AE, I bet Tokido can’t wait for that to happen lol
I wish they make Adon wake up like 2 frames faster off of Akuma’s sweep. Then, easy mode safe jumps all day.

^ LOL. ShadyK is too awesome with that note.
Yay! Edma is back!
yeah and the sad thing is that it’s true…a friend of mine who played akuma since day one vanilla started playing cammy less than 2 months ago and he’s already raping everyone. Damn autopilot character.
It’s just the same BnB into the same jump in into the same 50/50… All day, everyday. Autopilot ftl

Ryan and me did a MM at dreamhack. I need to be more patient but the ryu’s matchup despairs me…:(.
RIchard Nguyen ¿what do you think i did bad? Maybe you are the best akuma on this forum so it would be interesting to know what i did bad.
If someone wanna give me some advice it is welcome too;)
I think i did the same all time, i mean i didn’t improvise my game and ryan realized of this.
that happened in the gran final too.
I watched the winner’s and grand final and chocolo wow your akuma is really good. You have an awesome knowledge of all akuma things (for instance demon through super after him blocking sweep) and you played awesomely.
I got not much to say cause I was really amazed especially after never hearing about you before (no offence).
Hey, Chocolo! You did really good in the tourney!
In grand finals, you were doing awesome, but you kept doing neutral jump air fireballs and he just punished with sweep which ruined all of your momentum. You have to save some EX meter so you can do neutral jump EX air fireballs which will catch his sweep into standing hk (or just sweep if he’s too far). Do this once, and the Ryu will then be very cautious trying to punish you when you neutral jump. This is a thing that I too have just implemented in my game recently.
In the MM, the main problem I noticed is that when you are on offense, you do cr. lk chains a lot. This is something I used to do a lot also, but have thrown it out of my game for the most part now. Yes, it is safe and will catch backdash mashers, but it just does so little damage, block stun, and it is just overall bad pressure. Low risk, low reward basically.
Your main pressure tools should just be the mixup between cr. mp and throw. For example, Tokido does it here:
[media=youtube]snD0t2Xz73k#t=1m56s[/media]
Don’t get discouraged if it seems like they are blocking all of your cr. mp or teching all of your throws. Use this information to change up the timing of cr. mp or throw accordingly in order to successfully get damage. As Akuma, you only need to get one good frame trap or throw to get the knockdown to start your mixups.
Also, at Ryu’s max range cr. mk xx hadouken, you can FA absorb, dash in, and either throw or any fast combo like cr. lp/mp xx Tatsu. So, you can just try walking up to him and staying within this range to bait him to do it.
Be wary of their meter though since they can always EX hadouken. But it’s just good to do, just so the opponent knows you are able to do this.
He was also doing some backdashes that you could’ve option selected with jab-sweep. Every knockdown counts, so try to get those option selects in! I do understand it was probably a very high pressure situation, but do try to keep up with your option selects.
But overall, you played really well and were up against a very, very good opponent, as well as a relatively hard character matchup. I would just say to avoid those cr. lk chains and rather revolve your offensive pressure around the cr. mp and throw. You are very skilled though.
