i love how he hitconfirms everything in the most unconvential way
Fearless… Just effin’ FEARLESS!!
This is a message I received from Gaea0127, the top Gief in Taiwan, who usually keeps me updated with SSF4 stuff going on in Taiwan, anyways, he sent me this message about - 6, I thought you all would find it interesting since you were talking about the possibility of him being better than Tokido. This is the last part of the message.
“In Japan, many players think -6 is better than Tokido. Top20 BP in Japan.
He is the best Akuma in the world right now.”
Ps. If I can add my own opinion to the debate, I would still put Tokido above him a smidge. lol 
Its very difficult to say really as each has their strengths. I gotta admit that Tokido still lacks a solid anti air game and he loses momentum when he’s not dictating the pace of matches with his setups. 6 on the other hand seems comfortable no matter what the situation is and has some pretty impressive reactions. He reminds me a lot of Infiltration.
But then you have Tokido who turns knockdowns into victories and knows every pixel of every character specific setup like a robot. I also really respect Tokido’s counterhit fishing game. When you see him go to work in terms of hunting for counterhits its pretty fucking dirty, I love it.
-6 has amaizing reactions and hit confirms, he does counter hit into HK and the HK loop easily 10 out of 10 times lol. And he is really fearless, like if you watch the A-cho tournament that he’s been to, he just walked in on people, spamming stHK and sweep and he just didn’t gave a fuck xD He lost 50 precent health, then got a hit and killed the opponent without a problem, it was damn fascinating to watch.
And the other interesting thing about him is that he doesn’t seem to have any kind of tricky setups, he just mixes people up with his DF options and basic stuff like empty jump low hit-confirm, and even though he doesn’t seem to have any kind of set-ups, his jump-ins are mostly safe lol.
So wanna see -6 at EVO this year, that would be so sick :<
From what I’ve seen of -6 he gets a lot of damage through DF palm crossover mixups where the opponent doesn’t know if he’s going to land in front or behind you, I’ve seen him use it often even before the forward throw nerf, yet when I try to do similar setups I eat wakeup throws for free =(.
Haha, same here xD It’s a high lvl tactic, it doesn’t work on opponents who refuse to think and just mash buttons on wake up I get it to work againts some friends and certain people online, but scrubs usually throw me out of it or even reset me with jabs and normals, cuz they mash dp and the DF often messes up their input so they get a jab instead, which hits me off the air xD

Grand finals at an arcade tournament today
-6 did this in that video. cr mp cr mp cr mk xx hado fadc st.rh, how he heck does that work? The cr mk doesn’t combo into fireball at that point. I wanna do that combo online for style points!
Well that’s the thing with -6’s style - he just plain goes for it. Usually he does stuff that is only possible with strict spacing, and when the planets align, it works. The dude just doesn’t give a shit. He’ll fadc into fs.hk combos a lot, even on characters who’s hitboxes rarely (if ever) even permit it. If he corners someone, he’ll fadc the c.mp > cs.hp xx ball link twice into c.mp cs.hp xx lk tatsu just for laughs when it scales horribly, eats meter, does a smidgen more damage than a regular cs.hp xx ball and all the while runs the risk of dropping the combo entirely.
Evidently the dude has a tonne of fun when playing. Some of his previous match videos have him doing outright suicidal shit that gets him killed but he does it anyway, lol. Someone needs to tell him Akuma actually has a health meter or something. I’m also convinced he never looks at it and I’m also certain he’s a degenerate gambler when it comes to meter use. The dude is all in, all the time.
This is what makes him awesome 
-6 = Akuma on Four-Loco
Excellent idea. Sf with no health bars mod please. I think that would be hilariously fun.
You can already do that in any version of the game.
Oh ok. Heh. But its only fun when both players are doing it 
congrats, that was close match.
i like those aa against sakura air-tatsu.
i have problem with sakura doing those air hurricane. especially at 10:06 you did nothing against that air-tatsu. whereas i would have probably did focus attack and sakura end up behind me doing a big chunk of combo that will decide the match.
any tips on how to deal with those tatsu? i meant as any position to take note so that i can decide which AA to use eg. s.hp, c.hp or dp.
Try and stay out of the range where she can tatsu mixup you with normal jumps. that way u dont have to worry about SRK whiffing or a st/cr.hp getting stuffed. Other than that experience is the key. Head over in training mode and record her doing the tatsu from different ranges and see what u can find.
-6 is amazing.
I truly believe he’s the best Akuma on the planet. Then Tokido and Infiltration.
Tokido’s matches on the first week of Topanga League.

Shit knew this replays wouldn’t be up for long, before some asshole of a japanese who paid for the stream and sensed injustice happening goes and complains about Greg D: Just hoping he’ll upload other rounds too, and just delete them after some short time so that he won’t get problems. Though I doubt that’ll happen D:
Is it me or is Tokido playing like a monkey? 
I dont think ive seen him in a worse “condition”
