How do you deal with people who crouch the whole game? Even if i land an overhead and combo it into c MK I can NEVER land a light tatsu for resets or proper combos against real people And if i jump to do aerials i get anti aired.
TLDR: grab them and don't jump First, what you have to understand about jumps is that they aren't going to work if your opponent is expecting them. You have to get their mind busy trying to play the ground game/footsies in order for your jumps to be more effective. If your opponent isn't doing this, simply do not jump. If they are literally just crouch blocking, nothing is stopping you from approaching on the ground or poking them to slowly push them to the corner. For approaching on the ground, dashes can work but they have more risk than just walking forward. Once you are close you can start grabbing them. For poking them, use blockstrings that end in cr MK x hadoken. Even if it gets blocked, the point is to push them to the corner. If they aren't just crouch blocking, but doing stuff like quick pokes to interrupt your approach (like cr LK or cr MK), then they are opening themselves to getting hit by your pokes. Far HP, far MK, cr MK, cr HK (but at max range otherwise it's pretty punishable), or if you are closer, any version of MP, these are great for safely landing hits. I recommend watching HiFigh'ts video, "footsies trilemma" to understand this better. Once they are cornered it's much easier to approach, you can just do jump forward > air fireball. In they corner they can't back up to avoid the air fireball, and it generally eats most anti airs. And whether they block, get hit or parry the air fireball, akuma is plus here. Once you are plus you can start running your shit (pressure, hit confirms, overheads, grabs) Once you knock them down, grab them a lot if you see they block a lot. If you notice they start to defend from your grabs, you have to identify how they are doing it. -Are they crouch teching? (cr lk + cr lp while crouching. Comes out as cr lp but techs grabs). If they are, do low parry > HK tatsu, or low parry > shoryuken x super. -Are they stand teching? (cr lk + cr lp standing, usually with a parry before trying to tech in order to beat normals). Do walk back > cr MK. The walk back makes akuma exit throw range, so their stand tech will come out as a throw whiff, and the cr MK punishes the throw whiff. If you see the throw whiff, then consider it a hitconfirm (aka, cancel to something. Either HK tatsu or super, or even your very desired LK tatsu). -Are they jumping? do close HP just a bit after they wake up (cuz generally when ppl jump on wakeup they will block for a few frames to also beat meaties, this is called guard jump). Or just react to it and anti air.
@@Unit_00 thanks heaps for the reply. You described what has been happening to me perfectly. They are crouch blocking and spamming crouch kicks.

It's down + MK, and btw in street fighter jargon people will usually call it divekick. The main thing to consider is how the divekick hits. If it hits early in it's animation (aka, the hitbox touched the opponent's head) then you can't combo out of it. If it hits late in it's animation (aka, the hitbox touched the opponent's legs), then you have more plus frames than in the previous scenario, since at the moment the attack connects and deals hitstun there's less frames you have to wait until touching the ground (and thus being able to follow up with another attack). So basically, focus on landing the divekick late in it's animation (with akuma close to the ground when the hit happens) and try to link the follow up attack precisely

Akuma's demon deals 15 hits. That's why I left the full clip, you can see the combo counter says 16. What's happening here is this: Akuma can cancel any frame of any normal into raging demon. Akuma's st.HK has so much hitstun that it causes an special animation were the back of the opponent is turned towards you (aka back turned). There's a weird property of grabs in 3s: normally you can't grab opponents while they are in hitstun. However, for some reason this rule is ignored if both characters are facing the same direction (which will almost never happen since characters look at each other). You can see this in some of Alex's combos, where you do MP/HP chop into command grab or SA1. Basically akuma is connecting his demon vs a back turned opponent, thus ignoring the fact that they are in hitstun. Oddly enough, this combo was probably not intended, since Akuma's st.HK doesn't back turn every character (for example Urien doesn't get back turned). So HK's back turn was probably meant to be some visual enhancement, but it ended up giving Akuma a combo.

They have a lot of similar tools. Ken doesn't die if you touch him once with a combo. He has a way better mixup, much more likely to hitconfirm SA or shoryu. His air presence is kind of fucked up as well thanks to EX air tatsu. You rarely see these max damage Akuma combos, they require both bars and a punish. By the time that happens Ken has already mixed you up and killed you. The only big thing Akuma has over Ken is the air fireball, really nice tool for many purposes. It can zone, provide some pressure and provide a fairly safe approach. The way I see it, Ken just doesn't have any major weaknesses. Against most chars you can exploit some of their weaknesses. For example, not every char has a decent punish from far away (say, Urien or Ibuki who only get like a poke if they have to punish from far away), so you can attack more safely from some ranges. Not vs Ken though, he can cr mk > SA. This was just an example, but you can find more of these in different aspects, like anti air, okizeme, footsies, etc. Watch Kuroda (Akuma/Gouki) vs Ino (Ken), a set with very high level from both players.

I will try to do that when my hand health isn't fucked up lol.
Keep trying! Eventually you will nail these combos down.
@@Unit_00 i'll keep practicing, thank you for uploading it, i'm looking forward for the video with inputs, i'll turn on the notifications.
@@slmnsd6186 thank you but be patient tho, my hands are fucked up.
Why Ken is better than this thing ??!!!
They have a lot of similar tools.
Ken doesn't die if you touch him once with a combo. He has a way better mixup, much more likely to hitconfirm SA or shoryu.
His air presence is kind of fucked up as well thanks to EX air tatsu.
You rarely see these max damage Akuma combos, they require both bars and a punish. By the time that happens Ken has already mixed you up and killed you.
The only big thing Akuma has over Ken is the air fireball, really nice tool for many purposes. It can zone, provide some pressure and provide a fairly safe approach.
The way I see it, Ken just doesn't have any major weaknesses. Against most chars you can exploit some of their weaknesses. For example, not every char has a decent punish from far away (say, Urien or Ibuki who only get like a poke if they have to punish from far away), so you can attack more safely from some ranges. Not vs Ken though, he can cr mk > SA. This was just an example, but you can find more of these in different aspects, like anti air, okizeme, footsies, etc.
Watch Kuroda (Akuma/Gouki) vs Ino (Ken), a set with very high level from both players.
Which emulator do you use?
