This video, Angrybird, and Tokido’s opinions are trash.
Just because you do NOT understand and do not have the discipline to play a character like Akuma does NOT mean that he is bad. You keep bitching about how you cannot play Akuma the way that you want to play him, but you offer no worthwhile perspective nor any decent level of thought as to why you are failing with Akuma. Rather than try to adapt to a different play-style with Akuma-as in, a much more optimal play-style, you come out here bitching like a five-year old who did not get what he wanted for Eid.
Akuma is a top 5 character in this game. Just like any character, he can be misplayed. Just because he can be misplayed does NOT make him a bad character; Ken, Ryu, JP, and Blanka can all be misplayed. There are so many top-level players-like Daigo, Punk, and many more, that are sticking by Akuma despite him being a new character. The fact that so many top, competitive players universally agree that Akuma is a top 5 character should nullify anything you and Tokido have to say about the character. Watch Justin Wong’s video “PRO PLAYERS ARE SAYING ZANGIEF IS TOP 5 IN STREET FIGHTER 6” from June 24, 2024 for proof of what I am arguing for here: czcams.com/video/hcaE20KUEO4/video.htmlsi=vX6g0tsZ2BSE9Na0
The issue with both yourself and Tokido is that neither of you understand Akuma in SF6: you are both foolishly and stupidly trying to play him like you are trying to play Ken, which is causing both of you to regularly come up short with him in this game. There is nothing wrong with wanting to stick to Ken because he suits both of your play-styles better than the rest of the cast in the game, but there is plenty wrong with unfairly and foolishly dragging down a top 5 character because neither of you have any idea on how to play him.
Consensus among experts matters far more than an individual expert’s opinion on a topic. Your and Tokido’s dissent are not too dissimilar from the real-life scenario: where there is always a fringe minority of scientists who will dissent on subjects like climate change and vaccinations, despite the fact that the vast majority of their peers-as in, other experts, strongly disagree with their foolish and questionable beliefs and opinions.
I will say this now: YOU and TOKIDO WILL be proven wrong about Akuma for EVO 2024. Your arrogance towards this character and your incompetence with him will only come back to haunt you in EVO 2024. Once the competitive scene gets a solid grasp of Akuma-who, by the way, is not even two months old at this point, you and Tokido will both eat your words-and eat them well.
By the way, all the bullshit that you are peddling about Akuma-such as: “his normals are not super long, therefore he is trash”, are completely baseless and pathetic. Your bias against this character is fully apparent when you neglect to mention the very obvious facts in Akuma’s favor: he has the fastest walking speed in the game, his normals are not even short-they are longer than average but not the longest, and his toolkit is very strong and gives him a ton of options and ways to break down your opponent’s defense and to defend himself against anyone in the game. The fact that his normals are better than average and he has the fastest walking speed makes his normals-and by extension: his neutral game, easily amongst the best in the game. You and Tokido conveniently never make any mention of his massive advantages compared to the rest of the cast, which I suspect is due to your sheer incompetence with, and unwillingness to learn, Akuma as a character in the game.
Stick to your lane, Angrybird. You are better off sticking to Ken and not embarrassing yourself online with these stupid opinions and videos. I proudly disliked this video and would do it again, if I could.
Get better,
Vic
hey alright
“Maybe he’s the best in the game. He is not my character” did you even bother watching the video?
Signature at the end is corny
hi twitter
I can’t stand punk kids that say “Git Gud” or “Get Better”
I love how in this video you say "Akuma might be the best character in the game, he's just not for me" and then I read half a dozen comments like "See, I've been saying Akuma is dogshit trash since day one, thank you angrybird, you're spitting FAX 🗣️🗣️🗣️ " 😭
He just said that at the beginning, after that he said that Akuma has bad tools, etc. And I agree.
They morons who spam FWD Hvy kick and burn out in the first 10 seconds of the match needed confirmation that Akuma was the worst character in the game.
@@jeyraxelhe didn’t say he has bad tools. The gist of what he said is that he personally likes to play safe and Akuma has too many risky tools and short normals. For his play style akuma isn’t consistent enough to check DR or shimmies, or go on the offensive with tools like jinrai vs the more risky demon flip. With how wild people are in this game, Ken is a more consistent character.
@@jeyraxelakuma can lose on bad luck. That's the jist of it. If there were 100 matches akuma would win more. But it is also easier to lose on making a mistake.
@@bulthaosen1169his bad luck is unbearable with his miserable health bar
Look at that bear with 11k health lmfao
Ken honestly uses the SF6 Mechanics so well that I can never see him dropping off, he will probably stay the best shoto in SF6.
Let’s go
Sakura and Ken were similar playstyle wise in SFV I could see her being the best shoto. Totally guessing what she could be like if she has the godlike st lk and st hk like Ken, faster walk speed that she normally has, the safe tatsu's like she has had previously and then her otoshi being like SFV VS1 (Having punch, dive kick and throw follow ups) she might be absurd
At the end of the video he said : “ Ken is the love of my life “ 😂
@@Evilj82 dudes a troll and I love it 🤣🤣🤣
11:55 jajajaja
Must hate Barbie then
I'm using a translator, so I'm sorry if there are any discrepancies in the text.
Tokido says that Ken is the one who can operate like akuma in Street Fighter 5. He also does not like akuma per se because akuma fights primarily with Hadoken.
And it's also no reason to play Akuma if you already play Ken because it's not like they're different enough to use him as pocket. Same tier, similar enough kits. Tokido's breakdown of the situation was eye opening since I main neither but I understood the concept.
Crazy how ken was sworn up and down that he wasn't top 5, but all the akuma players say ken is better but akuma is also top 5
Akuma still have better normals and walk speed than Ken. The problem is Akuma's health, one jump in and one drive impact can cost you 50% or more easily. And most of Akuma's tools are susceptible to DI. If you play right, Akuma is technically better than Ken. But the thing is, you can never consistently play right or make the right reads all the time in this game. One wrong read and Akuma dies like a dog.
@@skychaos87 Akuma's normals are so stubby though
@skychaos87 or maybe it's because ken has the easiest corner switch in the game. And the best wall carry. And the most obnoxious special. Akuma has better fireballs and ryu has better set ups but ken trumps both of them because he can consistently corner you and none of his 'nerfs' were substantial. Now we have to wait an entire year AGAIN so we can hope they actually nerf him
@@zealy1369 His 6mk and 6hp has insane range. His 5lk is also pretty good. Yes his other normals is average but he has that walk speed to make them good. Overall his neutral isn't bad, in fact its way above average. Its just that in this game, there is neutral skipping crap like drive rush and hit confirm skipping nonsnese like drive rush cancel. Every character can easily get in your face for free and apply pressure. Neutral game is a small portion in this game, guessing in oki and throw loop situation is a big part of the game. Which is why Akuma suffers with low health, one wrong guess and he is closer to death than others.
This is why its impossible to play right all the time in this game as AB said. SF6 is more about guessing than neutral reaction. Ken is good not because his normals are good, even his tools like dragonlash kick suck and no one use them anymore. But he is good because of his corner carry, one touch from him and he puts you in the corner and make you guess for life.
Ken has always been top 5 even top 3, the thing is mains are very delusional.
Well can’t get more safe then Ken and can’t risk more then akuma
*than
It looks like Akuma works as a secondary
you summed it up perfectly
Yes, stay on the righteous path of Ken
Angrybird talks like a grandfather that is sick and tired of something; he'll tell you like 50 times.
He's just Arabic
For a SF rookie like myself (even tho i have been playing since SFII) your rant at the beginning explaining Akuma's offence and normals and comparing it to Ken's is very informative, insightful about the mechanics of the game and what makes a character good and what makes a character bad.
These things are easier to understand in Tekken.
Wish more people can explain characters like you did so one can understand SF more.
What's crazy is that in SF4 the word on the street was that Akuma was weak, Infiltration then proceeded to win every available tournament with the character. Then in SF5 everyone thought Akuma was weak only for Tokido to basically dominate with him. Looking forward to one of Daigo, Kawano or Fujimura making their move...
Tokido won with Akuma not because Akuma is good,but because Tokido is good.
@@ShinkuGoukiif Akuma is not good in SF5 back then then Tokido would drop him like he did latter.
@@ducanhdinh8823 Tokido himself said in an interview that he didn't recommend Akuma as a main.
The thing is Akuma is not the same character in Sf6 as he was in SF4-SFV.
What made him strong was that he was an amazing vortex character, while also having some of the best fundamental tools like movement, normals, projectiles, jump ins, safety, etc. So anyone who could play a good fundamental style who was also good at mixing their opponent to capitalize and loop their mixups and knockdowns, could play him effectively. Tokido especially is known for his vortex game in many fighting games, not just with Akuma but with basically all of his mains in fighting games, SF2 Vega, 3rd Strike Urien, etc.
SF6 Akuma is not a vortex character. SF6 Ken is the vortex character, Ken is playing the gameplan Akuma used to.
Akuma still has top tier fundamental tools, but he doesn't "loop" his mix the way he used to. He doesn't constantly pressure you and knock you down to threaten another mix. Now he is more about really controlling the neutral as much as possible with his fireballs, controlling your movement, controlling your jumps, pushing you into the corner with his jumps ins and walk speed, baiting attacks trying to push back, and exploding you. His gameplan is very different from old Akuma.
Now that says nothing about how strong he is or isn't, it just means he favors a different playstyle. So it makes sense the people who liked his old playstyle now play Ken who plays that same style, and do not like SF6 Akuma who plays very differently from what they likely expected.
@@ShinkuGouki Akuma was really good in SFV. The character literally had no weaknesses.
Ken is just solid, standing heavy kick is also a super good normal
that's the Ken normal I miss the most now that I'm trying to get Akuma to Master. Forward HP just doesn't hit the same even though it's still really good and has great confirms
I'm just glad you came back to the light. We all go astray at times. But you are the best Ken Masters of all time!!
Loool the rant at the beginning 😂
It's so funny that he says : "If you don't play logical" but angry bird is one of the most random players ever , he does shit like wake up DR Lmao
@@Lifeonmarszps3 but that doesn't matter if he plays random or not unless he's playing against a character that has insane punish game.
The beggining? Bruh it's the whole video 😂
@@splinter360 yea I only realised after I watched the whole 😅
@@Lifeonmarszps3 he wants a character that can control random players, that doesn't mean he doesn't like to be random himself
What stands out to me about what he says is that it's so hard to stop people from walking around. At this point I'd rather have hk be negative but doesn't miss crouchers and everyone doing 5k more than half the hp he has off any stray dr buffer sucks. It's not even 2 guesses and you're dead. You get hit once with a dr combo and guess once.
That's an insane point to me. I constantly get hit by HK because I walk around trying to stay out of range of his normals to whiff punish. But his walk speed and HK's distance means I get clipped, or put in frame disadvantage on block. Because I'm walking around.
Walk and crouch my brother, that is the answer. Look at pros, whenever they take a step they immediately crouch afterwards if they're in the opponent's range. Hope this helps.
Back to Akuma, hk does kinda stop ppl from walking only if it's successful. Risking a easy whiff punish is not worth +3 on block.
You did win the most packed and prestigious tournament with Ken. I see no reason why you'd switch characters to be honest.
Boredom?
@@adriandenton6637 That's totally possible. I can't seem to stick with a character for more than two months in this game. But he's a professional, though, so I think this shouldn't weigh as much to him.
@@TrophyJourney Yea it's just a tool to some players and that's fine. Idom being the exception. I've played the same character since day one cos I genuinly think the roster is still kinda rubbish.
Bruh if akuma didnt have that fast fireball id be steam rolling him
They made Akuma feel a lot more like Kage did in SF5, imo. You trade all the technical shoto confirms for absurd explosive damage and you trade neutral consistency for combo consistency. Its really hard to refine this character down to offense that doesn't get blown up at some point, and with such low life, its hard to justify. I do think the character is strong ebcause of the number of tools he has but it needs a lot of work, and honestly as someone competing at the top level I don't blame you for sticking to what you know
right buddy keep teeling yourself that (Laughs in Topanga League)
They need to either give him normal health or buff his buttons, especially 2MK. Genuinely no reason for Akuma to be like this, like he's extremely volatile and in a game like this, it's outright bad balance
@lisamemeson topanga league is a bunch of people who play respectfully, not Bo2 and not double elim, not some randos like you and me in pools who have odds way stacked in our favor to take big gambles to blow up higher seeded players.
If the other player is trying to play neutral consistently, you dont have to worry about it as much, however if I played someone who was highly favored Id go for random DIs, jumps and hard reads because if the game slowed down Id just lose.
So that doesnt really disprove either of our points
@Lexicon865 if his crmk was a single frame faster, it might break the char but it would help a lot I think. Low jab ch into low forward would feel so good.
I dont want to see his health up because I feel like thats core to the char but I do hate dying in 1.5 hits to gief marisa
@@Cellus5000 his crmk doesnt need to be a frame faster, it needs to have more damn reach
Makes sense. Akuma is volatile. Some players thrive on that edge of your seat type of playstyle under immense tournament pressure. Ken is more consistent in the long run since his versatility is good and affords you an extra mistake. Coming from XX Guilty Gear games, Chipp Zanuff is a similar concept. Has incredible strengths, but is heavily punished by even simple mistakes. This is why you only see specialists playing him in tournament, even though he is generally considered top tier in every game (XX games, not strive in particular).
All characters deal so much damage on jump in, and can do DRC to continue pressuring Akuma,
The MOST IMPORTANT THING IS Akuma lost his risk free teleport,
thats might be the reason Tokido drop him also, because he always abuse that lol
Teleport hasn't been good for several Street Fighters. They dropped him because he's not broken on release which they need him to be for them to play. Pros are big babies.
His teleport was utter garbage in sfv and Tokido almost never used it.
@@913egok and thats why he use Urien afterward
@@913egok and thats why he used Urien later
Got Akuma to masters and stopped playing altogether... the fireball game you have to play was not fun and his hk missing on crouchers was ass, back to Ed and hopefully Dudley someday...
You were right , ewc final is the proof of bison vs akuma matchup
Would you guys be able to put the twitch chat in the video too? I feel like it helps show who you're talking to and how their questions are influencing your thoughts 👍
Akuma doesn’t suck. He’s just not made for this game. DI, high damage, one mistake or two he’s dead ☠️.
The thing that makes Akuma borderline trash in this game is the lack of a teleport and no jump back air fireball. The amount of nonsense in this game is a bad match for Akuma's low health and trash teleport. Fun character to use, but his defensive options suck. In my opinion, Third Strike and USF4 is Akuma at his best.
“Ken is the love of my life” 😂 🤝
Akuma is not trash. I understand his reasoning as Ken is more stable (I play both characters with 1/100k of Angrybird's skill), but guys like Mena or Punk don't use trash characters. Akuma is built on reactions, whereas Ken has natural pressure that alums does not with jinrai, better lmk and H dragonlash.
Unfair comparison because Punk can use a literal piece of toilet paper with shit smeared on it and still get good results
@@Lexicon865 That terrible example Punk could use Lily and get a good result that better phrasing
@@66coldnight Is Lily still considered bad cos i've mained her since day one. I always struggle versus characters with good buttons like Chun and Akuma.
@@Lexicon865 no he literally cant. I mean it depends on what you mean by “good results”. With Akuma and cammy walking fast in neutral, punk is currently the best in the world. These things matter more for him.
Akuma is a neutral titan, it matches punk’s playstyle and is a great pocket character for him to have.
@@adriandenton6637lily is supposed to be able to get through chun’s fireball with od wind charged condor spire. Approach with lily’s crazy specials at the right times (like when chun is throwing out a heavy button) and remember, lily’s st hp and cr hp are crazy far
Been meaning to watch this but haven't had the time till now. I main Ken in S1 too, I tried Akuma for 2 weeks because I found him really fun to play. But I came to the same conclusion you did and went back to Ken
He's back playing Akuma lol
Would Love tô see you try Ryu AngryBird!
Being saying since the start that 10% HP is a lot in this game. He does not get enough to compensate for the HP. He's... fine.
Air fireball
THANKS for clarify my mind . I thought it was just me , I'm a ken player . and however much I play with AKUMA. I feel kind of uncomfortable in a way ,, I'm gonna keep sticking with my ken definitely
I dont know why this feels like the very first time i am hearing him talk
100% Agree.
Not worth the risk, Ken is much more versatile.
Good luck at MixUp and EVO habibi! You got this!
"Ken only. No more Akuma"
Truer words have never been said
I tried akuma but he really felt off and not as fun as i thought he would be, bison on the other hand feels great and has rhythm , only problem with bison for me is how easily he gets pressured especially after knockdowns, i was a deejay main so had plenty of wakeups and agility, bison is forcing me to get better which is a bonus really but tough
Dude they neutered akuma so bad in this game. I don’t think he’s fun at all or very good either.
He basically just throws fire balls. It was cool when his fire balls were long range pokes that complimented his insane pressure.
I could really write a whole essay on how boring I think this character is now but yeah you get it lol

The key takeaway here is playing FT2 in a tournament requires stable characters. You lost 2 games so fast and get eliminated because of character choice. None of this applies to the rest of us of course and basically any character is viable

Akuma seems good to fight Guile cause his air hadouken. Tbh if you played SF4, you won’t be fazed of his aerials along with Bison. You can literally dash under Akuma when he throws it out.
I totally see why Tokido and Angry Bird are turned off by Akuma whereas Daigo and other shoto lords are thriving with him. Akuma does not rush down like Ken yeah he’s got the damage and bullshit Oki but Ken also has that and can put you in the corner off any touch he’s probably the best shimmy strike throw character from the jump like his jab or grab or Frame trap is still busted. And people thought that getting run DP off mediums wasn’t a big change but it’s turned out to be really good and while lights and TC got nerfed Ken now gets more damage off shimmies for less meter lol. Not to mention now if you get hit with run DP he gets dash up MP and cMP which are 0 and +1 on block respectively. Ken got slapped on the wrist bro lmao
Went from calling him trash and having to allegedly play like an idiot to use him, to switching and saying just "he might be the best but he's not for me".
Bro pick a lane. If you can't play him optimally it's fine.
Ken was the worst shoto. And now he is better than akuma. Luke sucks now. Gief is top 0. Bison is broken yet no one is winning with him. Everyone is so honest
Who ever said ken in the worst shoto
Pro players, for the most part, are head and shoulders better than anyone, who picks up a controller ... Having said that, they exaggerate the living shit out of characters they both like and dislike. And when they get frustrated, prepare for "tier lists" everywhere to be in shambles. 😂😂😂
@@ForbiddenLinksunironically alot of ppl
@@ForbiddenLinksthat's literally been the main talking point with ken since the season 2 update.

Angry bird el mejor ken del mundo 😉
“Kill will kill you first that” love this brother😂
I don’t get why so many people seem dead-set on having Akuma as number 1, it’s very much so up in the air atm. Different characters have different upsides
GL at EVO.
I’m by no means a pro player but Ken is by far the best Shoto in the game and top 5 character. He has everything!!! He’s perfectly balanced imo. Whomever designed Ken perfected him in his gameplan. I’m a lifelong Ryu guy but dam my pride won’t let me
Definitely disagree with Akuma being a "trash" character. He is definitely very bipolar feeling, making playing with him more risky. His overall tool set is just too strong to be a trash character.
A kuma was nerved from the beginning he was released
Make the most of his versatility by regularly practicing, it's the only way to differentiate on footsies and drive rushes😂
You like to be carried and you are use to it thats why any character thats not ken will be trash for you
Hope you're feeling better brody!
I think Akuma is now the zoner guy. Where you need to play with fireballs and rely on people actions and take error opportunities to apply your offense. But It seems like you need to play way to defensive first. Also I agree with Akuma lose to any random character/player. If you want to win against akuma just play smart random hehe.
In the end u r beast
Quick question brother, which arcade joystick you using for completing?
They broke my boy 😭
IMO he’s a pure zoner with good damage potential, but the game is so zoner-unfriendly - Guile is top 5, but usage rate is bottom 6. Ken has better DR, faster cr. Forward (the best normal in the game character notwtisthdanding), Ken can feint his cr. Forward with cr. Short, and Ken has better options. You really need that John Choi World Warrior level Yomi to play that FB / DP game, plus factor in the rest of the mental stack.
Ken can put you in 50/50 or situations in his favor, way easier than Akuma. Air FB approach and the new demon flip will take a ton of time to master. SF5 decimated air normal variety, so Akuma doesn’t have his USF4 vortex. No demon throw, i.e., limited mixups. Demon flip kick is so spacing dependent / limited. And that 1k health difference is felt even in Plat or Diamond.
I’m confident you will Jedi mind tilt your opponents before every match, and 2-time Evo Champ of arguably the most difficult fighting game Capcom has ever cooked up (except CVS2 is pretty hard as well).
Ken is forever habibiiii 🙌
Akuma doesn't even destroy JP tbh, I feel it's the other way around
Ken was and still is top 3 in this game. The down play was insane.
Ken mains be like: ken is still the worst character in the game after the akuma patch!? Yeah the downplay is hilarious, i couldn't agree more
You can get the same damage with less work with bison, only thing bison doesn't have is any wakeups and gets pressured easy on knockdown
Ken >>>>>>>>>> Akuma
What about Ryu?
it is so satisfying to see ken
I share your feeling

This is why Punk's Akuma is the best in the world. He never uses jumping fireball. He doesn't abuse drive rush or wakeup DP. He whiff punishes and uses Akuma's insane reach on his crouching mp and heavy punch to punish those in his range. He plays Akuma like he plays Cammy. Responsibly.
Yup. Punk plays Akuma like his Cammy. It’s great for winning a tournament but it makes for a stale playstyle. Cammy and Akuma are the least fun compared to previous Street Fighters.
@@pureamateur649 I disagree on the playstyle. It's no nonsense. No spamming of anything. It's clean. Cammy players will tell you they love the character. The only people that hate playing these characters are the people that can't spam and play with reckless aggression. Kind of like Ken players.

@@PGO_Gaming not necessarily true, I mained cammy for the longest before deciding to drop because I felt she required too much precision to be effective as other characters that don’t even require half as much.

Ken 100% top tier 2nd is Ryu,guile,Cammy, juri,rashid,95% 3rd 88% comes akuma,Zangief,lilly,marisa,chun li,Dee Jay,Ed,JP,aki,bison
I think it's because Akuma relies too much on mix uu. In a game where everybody can be plus thru drive rush, all of a sudden akuma's plus frames aren't too special anymore.
I actually disagree with angrybird's comment on people just jumping in on akuma's fireball. I believe Akuma has the best fireball game right now.
Akuma's fireball does not prevent anyone from jumping in on him. It being the best fireball is for an entirely different reason.
@@stark8837 if angrybird is getting jumped in while using akuma's fireball then that is a user issue. Akuma has a faster recovery time than ryu and Ken. The reason why I disagree with him on this point is because if he said that he was getting jumped in on his fireball with Akuma then he is implying that he gets jumped in more on ken. Ken has the slowest fireball recovery between the three shots. That's what I was getting at. I understand that he is just venting and is disappointed in his results, but you have a way better chance of anti-airing a jump in with Akuma than Ken.
@@itsmesteve1081He’s highlighting getting jumped in on because Akuma’s low health means you can lose an entire round off getting jumped in on one time.
@@itsmesteve1081 The difference in recovery frames between Ryu, Ken and Akumas fireballs is so negligible it doesn't matter whatsoever. 1 and 2f differences can be monumental in some parts of fighting games, but not in this case. If Ken gets jumped in punish countered on a fireball, 99/100 times it would happen to Akuma as well in that same situation.
In b4 "so why did Punk dominate DCQ at CEO in neutral" because its Punk he does that to literally everybody on a good day.
for low health characters. Do miss your sf5 Seth tho, He was sick when used by you especially in the SFL
Here to say Zangief has been and always will be the best character in the game.
Akuma just isn't what he used to be. Other characters are given better,faster moves. And Akuma remains limited. Pulling off wins with Akuma now is something to be proud of.
Punk finally won something using akuma
That's irrelevant., Punk played 99% of the tournament as Cammy and switched to a hard counter when he realized DCQ was up to the task.
That doesn't mean Akuma is stronger than his Cammy, it just means that JP can mitigate Cammy and Ken if the JP player is super solid, but he can't do squat against air FB and flip.
Punk also has the best neutral in SF6 and Akuma has the fastest walk speed with great buttons.
Akuma also is a great counter pick JP is a bad matchup for Cammy in the latest patch, Akuma on the other hand was a whole different beast.
He brutalized everyone else with Cammy. DCQ was playing a crazy JP that tournament
He lost using Cammy in the winners' finals. He just used Akuma to counter JP lmao.
@@H1ghscor3 he lost one match in a whole entore tournament playing Cammy, are you dense?
@@Hemestal And? What I'm trying to say is that Punk didn't win the tournament using Cammy alone. That's why he used Akuma in GF to counter DCQ. We're talking about akuma here.
How do you loop dragon lash into cr.lp? All I get is +3 after the lash and cr.lp is 4 frames
if opponent is crouching when you hit them with dragonlash you get an extra +1. thats why you see people doing st.hp > mk.dragonlash but only on crouchers.
ken, habbibi, ken
You are the ken angrybird
The birds are good players, but they are very bad at gauging how powerful a character is. Remember when they said Marisa was unbeatable?
So in the end Tokido was right about Akuma, AngryBird?
Yes, he is not as good as portrayed to be
I think that is a good decision.
Daigo plays Akuma, and I feel like that is currently how Akuma is supposed to be played. Defensive, focus on fireballs and then going for punishes/being an unbreakable wall.
For all his offensive tools, Akuma does not have that edge (like Ken) when he is on the offense because there are so many options on the defense that are just game losing for him.
The 9k HP are a big part of it, but imo the actual thing that holds him back is how the short range on 2MK and 2HK (I feel like 2HK for some reason is now even more prevalent than in season 1) is, his lack of great corner carry and that even his strong stuff is technically often a reaction check/a gamble which is in his favor.
Like you try to go for divekick or chop. Even if spaced properly, you still need to pray that your opponent is not 100% locked in and ready to antiair.
Also, the current meta is just not great for him.
Cammy does decent against him. Bison needs like one throw and a combo. Rashid just kills him with level 2 gambling.
I think Akuma is still very strong, but Ken does not feel like he is ready to explode at any moment.
Anti-Akuma guide when? It's a struggle to deal with his toolkit
Ken is ultra top tier
And then there’s bison, tho idk how good he will be at a pro lvl, my low Mr ass struggling against him.
agreed.. no sideswitch, low hlth, no okie on regular throws mid screen... shit conversions midscreen.. heavy punch is too slow and does not move fwd.. fwd hp is fast but u can get DI so its pointless to throw out.. cr mk range sucks ass.. demon flip has no throw option so its very weak.. one perfect parry and u are hurting... i liked my time with ryu better.. fix him capcom
Is angry bird playing on hitbox now?
Should I play Ken or Ryu? New to game but want to take seriously
Ken is stronger but ryu is easier to pick up. Both are great characters too
Ryu is bad.
Meanwhile, Punk destroyed a very strong JP 6-0 in Grand Final with Akuma. He is that good when he doesn't panic 😂
Punk also has the best neutral in SF6, his neutral is so good at other Japanese players take note of him on the ground, and that area of Asia is known for being very fundementally strong in neutral and favor a neutral heavy style.
AKUMA is playing handycap. He was viable in SF5 and SF4 but with all the NEW SYSTEMS in SF6 it DRASTICALLY reduced his power. Why play AKUMA when you can play KEN more stable more good options and MORE LIFE
Unless Akuma is broken they don't play him
