We already defeated Sheng-long! The Akuma Video Thread

I ran those setups through training but I could not get them to cross up for me. It kept giving me the ‘fake’ cross up where you land on their cross up side but they can block normally.

Okay so that c.mp setup can just be countered by crouching. YOU CAN still cross him up if he does crouch but its way harder than if he’s standing. all he needs to do is crouch and the df will whiff.

Also another similar setup is to just use a c.mp cancel into lk dive kick. If you position it properly, it will cross up. Its much easier to get the spacing when ryu is standing and its possible to do it when hes crouching too but the spacing is really tight. Its really risky if you whiff.

^ these setups also work on Cammy.

Are you guys recording these things and actually trying to block them to confirm they cross-up? I’m telling you I recorded more than two dozen different timings and couldn’t get anything to cross me up.

I’ve gotten some stupid results attempting to crossup with the DF dive kick, I’ve recorded some setups that I swear should be a crossup, the blue blockstun thing even shows it’s well behind the character’s head, but when I try to block the setup I still block it normally!

Akuma on AE:

tokido SSF4 AE goodness…too bad he loses, but it’s a decent video.
I wanna see hp shaku damage tho!

That Ryu seems strong.

Yuru is pretty much a top player in Yokohama iirc.

AE Vs Juri:

@ 1:56 ex tatsu did good damage, probably nerfed from 200 to 180

the rounds are set to 5,
will they keep this roundlimit or is it just because the opening of the new arcade machines

Seven Island always has been best of 5. IIRC, the only time they change it is when they’re doing a tourney that requires it like SBO qualifiers.

I’ve heard top players say they feared Zangitan there because it was so hard to win three matches against his Vanilla Gief. lol

Edit: I guess I watched the second video, and it’s not Seven Islands, but still the best of 5 thing is more arcade specific. I don’t imagine they’ll change it back just because AE isn’t new anymore.

[media=youtube]hxRAqu-LVnw[/media] Hilarious video with iim83man, one of the top Akuma players in Korea.

Wow!! He lost SO many points!! Now I don’t feel so bad about losing 2K points myself! :rofl:

shit happens :smiley:

And it usually comes in large quantities.

can’t wait to see Shin Gouki vids :stuck_out_tongue: great stuff so far

those are all taken from past fights, ha ha. he is still over over A+ Rank [currently has 20,529 BP to be exact, and 6072 PP :stuck_out_tongue: ]
but that video had me rolling man, one of the funniest ssf4 videos i’ve seen so far.

Gamogo’s Akuma playing vs Yang:

@ 1:22 far HK’s 2nd kick whiffs on crouched Yang as Gamogo confirmed in the AE changes thread =(
@ 1:26 Yang used an ex invincible reversal on wakeup that traded with command dive kick which usually stuffs a good amount of reversals, hope it’s easily safejumpable…
@ 1:34 New coward copter, will put you right in Gief’s arms lol
@ 2:48 Yang’s ultra seems like it can easily punish poorly spaced air fireballs, hope the thing ain’t projectile invincible !
