Akuma absolutely does not have one of the best FB games. His main problem is his lack of a good DP but his air FB is also very easy to punish. Sagat has the best FB game. Six different FBs, plus 2 different kara versions of each and godlike DPs? No contest. Sagat will handle anyone, including Guile and Juri.
Take it from someone who mains Sagat and used to main Akuma
Akuma easily. If he properly uses the air fireball, it is very hard to punish. It is also the hardest projectile to avoid, singularly unique to him, and his one of the best vortex options in the entire game. The EX version throws 2 of these bad boys which is even harder to avoid and nice easy chip advantage if well timed. Waitā¦but thatās not all!!! He has a nice ground fireball, so he isnāt helpless there either, and a meterless 3 hit fireball to make any other fire ball character have to come to him.
Nope. His air fireball is very unsafe. It can be easily punished on reaction by any character with a DP or any character with a full screen ultra such as Seth or Sagat U2.
Seriously though, I believe Guile has one of the best! Because, despite having to charge, there ARE strategies to make the best of it(quick charge, I believe it was called)
As a 'Gief user, Guile gives me more trouble than anyone elseā¦
