Thanks for uploading this one. The Gief, and Marisa MU seems sorta scary for Akuma. Bad positioning or mistakes can just lead you to death very quickly.
@@Teddyobot I think that's the matchup where air fireball might get the best mileage. Obviously at good ranges so you're not flash kicked out the air.
@Agent_A_Graham akuma did train with gouken tho, hes trained by Goutetsu who was basically the ultimate dude. but ye you right his solo training is kinda just he was mad and got strong lmao
@@chickenburrito7861loyal fans literally transcends the game fans. Hes calling us the viewers and we hear the call. We the loyal fans stNd beside him as he shows no mercy no remorse. Just pure hype moment
Yeah! They introduced it when they buffed lariat before the balance patch. It is a tad bit hard to do with the small window but nothing a good mashing can't solve
Anyone else feel that this might be a hard matchup for Akuma? I have heard about in past games that gief's lariat chews through the air fireball approach Akuma has, in addition to the health differential between the 2, makes it a slightly losing matchup for him. Idk if it is this time because Gief and Akuma have some new tools but i was just curious.
Marisa and Zangief are going to nightmares for Akuma. Dhalsim is a problem. Characters with the ridiculous repeating hk mp drive rush combo are also going to be hellish for Akuma
In SF5, Gief could literally shut down the air approach from Akuma. The only thing I could do was ex Demon Flip dive kick from close range because that hits faster than the Lariat. Fireball or demon flip was easily negated using Lariat. But the gameplan was pretty much put Gief in corner and make him guess due to no true reversal except super.
No it just means everyone can’t play Akuma like you all thought, Tokido will master Akuma and then have no problem with Zangeif, but it will take skill, not just character.
@@studivan Well yeah not everyone can play Akuma, he is known to be hard so I have never thought that. There just has been a history of Akuma going even or slightly losing to Zangief in particular over the years. Any character can beat any character, however each one has matchups that are good and bad and should be noted so people know what to deal with.
Ive played this matchup a lot on the Akuma side and I love it, good to see its just as exciting at high level. Akuma dominates the neutral but the difference in health is a huge deal because with how high giefs damage per opening already is it often means gief needs one less opening to take a round off akuma than everyone else.
8:20 I think ole boy just figured out you could straight charge punch through Zangief's power rush because he started using that effectively from there on
I don’t believe so because even I’ve done it a couple times online but it happened mostly by accident. So it is possible but the window’s really small.
Demon flip seems really weak in this game. The frame data doesn’t seem all that strong, and it doesn’t have the throw/block 50/50 it does in some other games. Just doesn’t seem super rewarded no for the risk of being outright destroyed by a drive impact or reversal.
Me acabe de fijar en las fuentes _(referencia de Vasili10)_ de la *Cronología* de la *Wiki Fandom Street Fighter* en español, y Akuma nació alrededor de 1945 _(por ende en SFAlpha tendría cuarenta y pocos, en SF2 cuarenta y tantos, en SF4 alrededor de cincuenta, en SF5 y SF3 cincuenta y algo),_ pero no dice nada sobre la edad de Akuma en SF6, pero imagino que estara en sus 60s... Mel Masters en el modo *World Tour de SF6* se ve que ya es un adolescente y Ken habla como si hubiera pasado bastantes años (después de 3rd Strike) cuando menciona a Sean...

"It's time to get serious!"
*whiff!*
"Are you serious?!"
9:47 Zangief's glasses get knocked off his eyes while he's getting hit by Akuma's level 3, nice attention to detail.
09:49 they are still hanging on 😂

Insane how Zangief used to be a 100% win for Akuma in Super Turbo but the matchup has been flipped on its head over the years..
Slightly disagree, I’ve been doing work against gief and Marisa as akuma, the one for me to watch out for is guile 🤮
for anyone who plays Strive, this matchup reminds me of Chipp vs Potempkin
@@Teddyobot I think that's the matchup where air fireball might get the best mileage. Obviously at good ranges so you're not flash kicked out the air.
@@DCDsauceAkuma probably still wins. It’s just akuma can’t be careless
to play with zangief like that, very impressive. very entertaining and tactical players
Outrageous sets. Very back and forth. That was cool.
9:02 holy punish counter
It's kindda funny to me that Zangief parries by raising his hands and buffing his chest. lol
Flexing his muscles makes any incoming attack cower in fear of his sheer manliness.
@10:02 Zangief rages when he misses the grab. 🤣
Lorewise, Akuma is undefeated but, in the game, nothing can best the power of the LOYAL FANS!
@Agent_A_Graham akuma did train with gouken tho, hes trained by Goutetsu who was basically the ultimate dude. but ye you right his solo training is kinda just he was mad and got strong lmao
Love Akuma but isnt Oro the strongest in SF lore
@Agent_A_Graham you 100% right they just kinda said “training” and then made him a beast
he got the one punch man 100 push-ups treatment
Gen has defeated Akuma before lore wise
Finishing a battle against Akuma with Gief’s critical art feels fully in character
Loyal fans > Satsui No Hado

Es perfecta esta replay, gracias por el video!
Jeez! That's felt like watching this season's TWOLVES vs DENVER NUGGETS.
Very very tight!
10:03
Zangief: Are you serious!?
Akuma: Yes.
xD
16:46 First time seeing canceling into Lv3 super. This is sick!

Same I was shocked 😅
Great match with excellent execution
tank vs assassin
Tank vs Assassin...June 15th. Boxing...
I see what you did there
True, especially since Akuma’s fighting style is called Ansatsuken (Assassin’s Fist)
akuma looking more like a tank in sf6 and zangeif an assassin in this fit
Sung-jin woo x thomas andre
@@danielsmithiv1279? 🗿
Zangief damage on Akuma is funny
dude 9:02
Akuma doesn’t have much durability. And that’s historically. Be careful if you decide to surrender to the Satsui No Hado
😂yeah think
@@AB-bu9goExactly 😂
get gud
Grear fight. I haven't play the game yet. I thought about Zangief to do the level 3 at the end and it happened. Love it
Greetings and wow, nice one, thanks for the upload.
This is absolutely great 🙌🏿 so wonderful!!!!!!!
I thought Akuma was supposed to be a “glass cannon” all I saw was glass lmao Meanwhile gief pulls a damn 50% off a damn grab
Excellent job by Junior, although here he's still playing very reserved, getting to know the opponent.

Yeah every time I've seen this matchup so far it's an Akuma player needing to be extremely careful cause 1 bad interaction they'd just die.

11:22 I've never seen lariat hit so far back 😯
B-U-F-F-S
DYNAMYTE
"AKUMA!...THIS IS YOUR LAST RIDE!" Orrrdddyaaaahhh
Seriously
It's crazy how fast Akuma's life literally disappears from a few smacks to the chin lol.... Not to mention, Akuma's raging demon appears hella weak.
He was vs. Zangief.
U serious? Akuma is a character designed to play aggressively, and while Tokido was defending, loss was bound to happen.
Thats how akuma always been like low health. Mid to big damage, pressure character. Tokido was just playing scary.
Akuma needs damage buffs !!!!!
Glass cannon. But I agree that his raging demon (one of the most iconic finishers from all SF games) should deal a bit more dmg.
16:56 this finish is so humiliating...
WTH...Haven't watch any SF6 streams in a while, to my surprise Junior playing Zangief. Tokido playing Akuma is business as usual.
that ending was bonkers omg 🙀
That juggle around the 4:40 mark was wild 💯
An incredible fight! Well done!
10:00
"Time to get serious"
*Whiffs*
"Are you serious?!? 😡😡"
for those who said this is basically Chipp vs Potemkin in SF6, fully agree.
That finish was ultra meaty for the Gief. Congrats, Junior and Tokido looks killer with Akuma
Damn, that CA is hella sweet!
The damage that Zangief takes up is insane 😮
I wonder why the only characters that age are Akuma, Ryu, and Ken. They’ll be in walkers in street fighter 7 at this rate. 😂
Sakura
No, porque SF7 transcurrira entre 3rd Strike y SF6
Gief does crazy drive gauge damage on his headbutt and st.MK when you block them now. Literally like a full bar.
Zangief whiffing the level 3, and me watching: "Are you serious?!"
The pressure from Tokido in some of these matches is insane.
Ive played this matchup a lot on the Akuma side and I love it, good to see its just as exciting at high level. Akuma dominates the neutral but the difference in health is a huge deal because with how high giefs damage per opening already is it often means gief needs one less opening to take a round off akuma than everyone else.
Anyone know if Tokido is still playing leverless with Akuma or did he switch back to arcade stick on account of years of muscle memory?
Great matches.
I scored enjoyed every minute of this matchup 💯 going to start watching more of crazy matchups
Damn what a finisher move in the end
8:20 I think ole boy just figured out you could straight charge punch through Zangief's power rush because he started using that effectively from there on
The input buffring look wild asf 😂😂😂
I like Zangief's Russian mobster look. And Akuma looks absolutely tiny next to him!
Its rudiculous the punishment of the zangief piledriver
9 to 5 Zanghief doesn't care much for the satsui no hado.
The number of jumps on Akuma is mad!
0:20 How did that heavy tatsumaki hit after the low tatsumaki? Did a patch change so it doesn't hit anymore?
I don’t believe so because even I’ve done it a couple times online but it happened mostly by accident. So it is possible but the window’s really small.
Zangief monstro 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Kinda nuts how Akuma can combo light tatsu into heavy tatsu against Gief.
Is that combo only possible on Zangief?
@@FullMetalLazyboimaybe Marissa only works for characters with big hit box’s
@@FullMetalLazyboi I have just tested, only on Geif, can't even on Marissa
Junior's throw breaks are impressively consistent
magnificent bout!!!
Que partida maravilhosa 🎉🎉🎉
1st time Ive seen a Gief Lariat Comboed with that Ultra . Dude must have been pretty Angry 😮
2:15 Dang, almost half life with one move
I love tokido's neutral here, he's got the footsies and neutral down
Esse combo no final foi a REPÊTACULÊ!!
4:46 That hurt so much, I would've been super pissed off
Gotta admit, Zangief player played quite well.
Look at how much work that gief needs to do to do ANYTHING.
What kind of moves are those that become the characters silhouette in green or blue? What's its purpose?
Babe wake up Tokido Akuma footage

yeaaaah!! finish that shoto!!
This gief is a beast but good game from tokido also.
Que buena pelea !! Los dos al máximo nivel .. creo que tokido tiene más potencial con akuma.. se hada más experto
Zangief is always scary to paper shoto like akuma & kage😢
Right
why does zangief have a fob for a pocket watch while wearing a wrist watch?
Murderface got his character back.
Gief the CEO of Suplex
Que surra Tokido 😅😅...queria muito saber jogar de Zangief
one whiff and 3/4 your bar is gone, Gief's damage is no joke
Very entertaining.
Not a single OD DP baited lol. Ate every single one.
@9:00
Heavy vs. Demoman
Show 👍
Seeing Akuma get DDT'D is hilarious
4:52 😮
My man tokido didn't see some DR overhead or some demon flips. He's playing really consertative.
Demon flip seems really weak in this game. The frame data doesn’t seem all that strong, and it doesn’t have the throw/block 50/50 it does in some other games. Just doesn’t seem super rewarded no for the risk of being outright destroyed by a drive impact or reversal.
After OD shoryu he’s always getting hit by crouching heavy kick.
ngl this zangief was fucking good he went up against tokido
Him being a glass cannon and all I think it may be the time to play as zangeif to get an easy platinum /diamond rank.
RAGING DEMON 6 IS THE GREATEST LOOKING 👀 EVER ? YES!
WORST AS FAR AS DAMAGE CONTROL!!!! 😔
Brian Shaw is a playable character!?
Coo well fighter😂
GOOD!
would like to see zangief CA on Akuma
You go Gief😆
Que luta ❤
how the fuck did tokido pick up akuma this fast and just start bodying people already?
