We already defeated Sheng-long! The Akuma Video Thread

Better footsies for one. Elita was using the crouching roundhouse way too much,and Diago took advantage of it. He also should respect Ryu’s ultra a bit more.

I’m hearing you. Ryu is a very tough match when he’s being driven by a capable player. You have to be really on to deal with him and play extremely carefully.

I have no ‘go-to’ options against him so I find I have to play each second as it unfolds. When Ryu screws up I throw absolutely everything I have into a response to try and get a leg up.

I will say this though, playing a good Ryu really brings out the best in my Akuma I think - even when it doesn’t go in my favour.

hmmm let me think a second about it …
maybe lose ?!

like i said before if a dude knows how to use ryu correctly then
he can be a pain in the ass for akuma
as a akuma player you will always need more skill to stand a chance against a ryu

:crybaby: Then there’s no hope at all!!

Pick Sagat

sagat against ryu is not the perfect solution
ryu would beat sagats ass

i only remember you about the big scar on his chest ! Shoryukennnnnnnnn

Not quite sure, but I think this is Inbe beasting:

that dictator fell for those crossup tatsus nearly everytime. can you say frustrated? fuck.

That’s Noriyasu. Very solid Gouki player, I love how he will change his game until he finds that tiny opening in your defense, more from him :

it would be nice if someone would take the time to analyze this stuff and add it to like the match up thread or somethin

some useful tricks in these vids

Safe (jump) dive kicks and backdash punishes…
hmm, interesting.

Ok, I might be stretching it when I’m calling the dive kicks safe jumps.

6:58 made me lol.

Yeah nice move. But it’s tricky. I tried that recently (Teleport -> Demon) and obviously did the demon a little too early since I got roasted when I reached Blanka.

Probably good to go in the sectrets thread. I’ll be having a look at them to break down some information before I move them there, okay?

I hear you, I was wondering if the demon would grab Blanka in his rolling state though.

Never give up…

While I believe Ryu has a very slight edge on Akuma, this match up is almost completely about skill.

And unfortunately Daigo is one of the most skilled around.

No arguing that.

There were some videos of D`Nyc3’s akuma from florida playing a gauntlet against the florida community, matches are at:
http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=IchinShek&view=videos&query=D’Nyc3

I’ve seen him play at summerjam, and hes pretty solid.

daigo is the player with the most experience
thats whats make him so godlike
i still believe momochi is a better player but he doesnt got the experience daigo got

no matter what i will always say that ryu has advantage over akuma if its only 5.1/4.9
he got it !
