How do you know how he approaches the game when he’s serious, you’re reading too much into this.
Sometimes those little “gut feelings” pay off quite a bit. I just have one of those about this Akuma. It isn’t so much “reading in to it” as you say.
Again I am just stating my opinion. If you don’t like it then no one is holding a gun to your head and forcing you to respond. It isn’t as if I said he is total crap.
Amazing combo at 0:53.
I know you weren’t quite sure which is why I told you his fundamentals where fine.
Which is neither here nor there in regards to fundamentals. Matches are won and lost based on many different factors beyond fundamentals.
Yeah that was an awesome combo, I have to incorporate that into my game… right now whenever I hit confirm a crouching short I always go for the cLP -> lk Tatsu link. Starting with a crouching short and linking into LP -> sHK -> BnB is a great idea… throw an FADC in there and you could probably get a stun out of it.
The Akuma in question has great combos, but when Sagat gets him in the corner, he doesn’t teleport or hurricane kick out.

This roundhouse kara demon is a very powerful tool against low characters and players that like to punish whiffed roundhouse.

I’ve seen the vids above Adeel, good stuff despite a couple drastic errors in your combos, I totally felt it when that EX Fireball came out! Shit happens to me too.
I’ll take the time to plug my own vids real quick:
[media=youtube]HcymonNn4g8"[/media] - I explain the basics around the demon flip.
West vs. loltima - Me and West had a long series of matches, I put 8 of 'em up. He definitely rocked me a good bit.
Yeah, I have a good consistency with the p-link but have no idea how I fucked it up that time, maybe got nervous and made an error. All of our tournaments are run single match Japanese style, so I guess the pressure gets to me at times, haha.
Yep, I knew instantly it was the plink too. I’ve started to plink LK~LP instead, been working ok so far.
thanks for the tutorial. good job at explaining some of the ways (and showing) of how to implement the demon flip.
Yeah thanks. I’m sure some other guys on this forum could tell you better, but it’s a good place to start anyway.
Not bad tutorial on the flip. Only thing I may have added with a little bit more about resets after the Tatsu, but overall it does the job.
There are obvious things that I left out that I feel pretty dumb for doing (just to keep video length within parameters). I wanted to actually cover strings for hit-confirming, because I feel that’s a pretty important aspect of any jump-in. I didn’t mention that the EX Flip locked on, and I didn’t say how to actually do the demon flip dive kick (but I assume people can put 2 and 2 together).
But yeah, thanks for the words. My resets are actually pretty awful so creating a whole section on it would have led to hours of frustration recording footage. Hahah.
4:45-5:10 was beautiful!
about the tutorial, I think demon flip dive kick can be blocked low too. Most of people block high tho
which plink, exactly, are you guys talking about?
You’re right, it’s just that all the frame data about the move told me otherwise, and I’ve always blocked it high. Thanks for clearing this up.
HK(f), c.LP~MP -> LK Tatsu etc
what is the beneift of that plink? sorry im dumb
Registers the first button press twice in 2 frames, doubles your chances of hitting a link pretty much.
