      @@BardsOnAHill Glass-canons are generally an archetype that's meant to excel in most situations but have high risk in the form of low health to mitigate it.
      Except...it doesn't end up panning out that way most of the time? Taking more damage doesn't necessarily play a part if you don't end up in that situation where you lose health. You have most of the tools needed to win neutral. All it really does is make playing the character more stressful.

    Forward teleport is good against wake-up drive reversal, it crosses up and gives you time to get a sicknasty counterhit. If you don’t have time/are panicking, you can do the throw and it’s good damage

  • @FlightDeckRyan
    @FlightDeckRyan Місяць тому +3

    Newcomer to SF; Why is everyone making note of Akuma having 1000 health less than the average character and saying that "he's gonna die super quick"? I understand he has less health but does that 1k really make that much of a difference (between dying normally and "super quick")?

    • @TheCosmicUprise
      @TheCosmicUprise Місяць тому +5

      It sorta depends but it's important to remember that with less health your opponent needs to spend less to kill you. Even if it's just doing a level 2 instead of a level 3 that can make a big difference

    • @chriswest6988
      @chriswest6988 Місяць тому +2

      That's a good point. Once someone is dead if you spend everything, _you get to spend everything_ . A guy with 60% base health might actually die in less than half the timespan of a normal character.

    • @thepuppetmaster9284
      @thepuppetmaster9284 Місяць тому

      Yes it's actually make a big difference. With low health, there's less chance for Akuma to guess or played badly. Example; Zangief OD SPD alone did 3400 damage. So if Akuma got 2x OD SPD from full health then he's already in critical health. And some characters in this game hit like a tank such as Marisa, Ryu, Luke, or Dee Jay where they can do 6000-8000 damage with combo super lvl 3 / CA + all Drive gauge spend + punish counter state.

  • @SwazNasty
    @SwazNasty Місяць тому

    the difference in health seems so minimal when you consider 1 hp or hk is almost 1000 damage, so really hes just 1 heavy hit of difference in health.... but then when youre using him you feel like your life is just sapped away instantly lol

  • @sleepyzeph
    @sleepyzeph Місяць тому

    just wondering, from a gameplay and balance perspective, does much actually change from characters like akuma having low health and high damage?
    like, breakpoints aside, if he had 20% more health and 20% less damage he would basically be the same, just with longer rounds?
    although i guess breakpoints are too big to just throw aside like that... akuma dying from 3 big combos instead of 2 is a huge deal whereas his damage output is more diverse against the rest of the cast... i dunno.

    • @HellecticMojo
      @HellecticMojo Місяць тому

      He'd arguably be stronger. SF6 has a cap on offense due to drive gauge and while Akuma can play the lame game, other characters cannot.

    @evalangley3985 Місяць тому

    After fighting many people against, I can safely say that it is not as much as I expected. He has some tools but they can be punished. You can easily pass under Akuma air fireball by drive rushing and Akuma is left open for a punish counter. His teleport are also unsafe and his drive rush is not that great. His tatsu is horribble also... Ken is still king by far.
