We already defeated Sheng-long! The Akuma Video Thread

come on people, lets try and keep this updated. It’s a hassle trying to find new material to watch.

lol @ the last match, Kanbara was just playing with that Ryu.

Seems like Kanbara is a big fan of the air tatsu cross up after a SRK knockdown. Great use of the DF punch to drop right into footsie range as well. And lots of baiting with LP red fb.

<3 Akuma

Keep in mind when Kanbara does that, he first looks and confirms that the opponent did not quickrise. So he knows exactly when they will rise. It’s very risky to just do it off of any srk knockdown if your opponent still has the option to quick-rise.

I usually prefer to do it only off of no-quickrise knockdowns like sweep. Kanbara though, has trained his opponents not to quickrise by doing a lot of meaty chips timed to hit quick-risers. He then stands there and does nothing, waiting for their quickrise window to expire, then jumps for the tatsu crossup mixup.

Is Kanabara crossup better than the Momochi ambiguous demon flip/crossup?

More limited in the ways you can set it up, but a more solid mixup if you do have it set up.

For meaty cross up/wake up, would this be the order of the meatiness from most meaty to least?

DF dive kick
j.LK
j.MK
air tatsu

Am I correct to assume that the more active frames a move has the easier it is to time for a safe wake up jump in?

Those Kanbara videos are pretty old.

7.00

I jizzed in my pants

that ken was ferocious, good lord

wow epic video there hah

This guy seems to be learning the game but it’s still something to watch

Can someone confirm what’s happening at 7.31 for me. It looks like he’s ending the combo with QCB+LK -> c.HP -> Demon Flip. It’s the c.HP I’m not sure about.

Pretty sure it’s a crouching jab into the demon flip.

Hey, thanks for the shout out. Now I’m waiting for everyone to rip me a new one on here. lulz.

cr.LP cancelled into demon flip. You can do st.HP or cr.MP as well to reset for more damage but it’s tighter.

What was the point of that though? Wouldn’t ending that combo with a FP.SRK do more damage and be safer (that demon flip throw can be reversed) than resetting the opponent with LP and then demon flipping at them for a throw? Maybe he’s just trying to get a knockdown that can’t be quick-rised?

Naw dude, I enjoyed your videos…splicing in the second cam of your stick so we can see the technique is a great touch.

I’m going to +rep you just for taking the time to do that.

EDIT: Put you right back in the green. :china:

Momochi’s Akuma is frightening
