    A lot of characters just can't deal with Akuma
    and lower health isn't a weakness when you do insane damage. It becomes an equal health game

    I think hes potentially top 1. When you look at demon flip, air fireball, cancelable CrMK, his insane walk speed, his reliable defense, and how he uses the system mechanics well, hes phenomenal. But the problem he has is you can't be wrong. One big mistake or 3 or 4 little oops moments and you lost the round

  • @akilcharles3473
    @akilcharles3473 Před 3 měsíci +1

    You also got to keep in mind as well for DLC characters down the line, whether or not they might end up as more busted than Akuma or if not more. I'm not saying that it would but it could.

  • @SHAP00PIE
    @SHAP00PIE Před 3 měsíci +2

    Imo, the thing about akuma that makes me think he's potentially top 5 is that he can fight anywhere. he has an ok corner carry but he has tools to keep the fight midscreen if he wanted to and he'll still be very active in offense. not a lot of characters can do that

  • @thechampuru
    @thechampuru Před 3 měsíci +10

    Tokido is saving his best tech for EVO and the better tournaments. When new characters come out, as usual everyone plays them, which reveals a lot of their strengths and weaknesses. Tokido on the other hand, that man is a unit! He has none lol.

  • @Konahagure
    @Konahagure Před 3 měsíci +15

    The spirit of the character is to be offensively spectacular no matter what game he's in. With caveats. Usually low health, ease of dizziness in some games, etc. He's a shoto which makes him accessible to many gamers in the genre, but you'll likely have a harder time trying to play defensively like you can with Ryu for example. He's where he should be. Top ten, maybe a little higher. Almost all characters are viable with enough skill though.

  • @DigitalMicks
    @DigitalMicks Před 3 měsíci +1

    I really liked this type of videos, if you can do a breakdown on what makes the character you are reviewing good or bad, in a pro player perspective, it would be OD.
    Abs let's also consider the "easeof use" of the character, maybe there will be broken characters that are hard to use and make user of their brokenness with the greatest of ease, which will make them fall in the list IMO.

  • @jaserror
    @jaserror Před 3 měsíci

    In previous games, he was one of the rush down characters with good all around tools.
    In this game, almost everyone can rush you down and cause huge damage, so having some health buffer actually makes a lot of difference.
    There is almost no difference between having 1000 health left with full drive gauge and CA with having 7000 health but burnt out and no super.
    He reminds me of USF4 Seth - where he has top tier tools but has volatile MU because of his health and stun.

  • @joanheartless9817

    Liking a character is not gonna make you main somebody. Bonding with the characters style is what makes the user main the character. For instance I like Akuma but I Feel Deejay more even though that nerf got him stumbling. It's the feel of the character not just some buy to win pick. That's for modern players

  • @megazardxl7844

    @thedarkwonder9954 Před 3 měsíci

    Below diamond or plat i think me is considered top 3-5. Past that, he is probably just top 10. He is harder to deal with at lower levels. Folks don't have the time to study his plus moves or barely negative moves. Plus all his mix ups and pressure. He is stomping casuals and maybe casual+.

  • @hotdog5927
    @hotdog5927 Před 3 měsíci

    hes a pretty good character but his hit confirms changing based on the opponent being crouching or standing is a big problem, if they crouch his damage output goes down a lot unless you spend a lot of meter or have them near the corner and then his meaty options are decent but don't really give big payouts compared to someone like ken or deejay or luke, he seems to be very neutral focused but his drive rush speed is a bit on the slower side. hes still top tier but when money is on the line you don't wanna have to worry about silly things like if you hit your opponent standing or crouching to do a bnb or stubby buttons whiffing

      Raw Shun Goku Satsu DOES deal nearly 50% (4700)-but of course in a combo, that can go as low as 2350 at max scaling.
      If you link into it off of a single normal like HK which keeps it at 100% scaling, it's 5500 damage.

  • @treytison1444

    Akuma has low health because he can legit two touch any character in the game. He has to have low health so his opponent can have a chance. I think Tokido just isn't confident to use Akuma in tournaments yet.
