counter hit state for the entire duration... akuma also does not have any quick options off it. keep in mind that both divekick as well as the overhead stop akuma's air momentum before coming down. he cannot strike you quickly. Even ex fireball will take a good while before coming down. he does not have any proper mixup off the demon flip, and you can pretty much just anti air it on reaction for free, especially if you have a crouching attack that anti airs like crHP. for example, A.K.I. gets like 6500 dmg off the anti air sHK on prediction against demon flip and the reaction isn't that difficult.
he's saying it's sicknasty and probably the best thing to do BM is when you do suboptimal stuff to style on people, not the best possible thing. it ain't BM to win
I love the Japanese tier lists with Zangief in S tier every time even though only one guy plays him in high-level competition. Itabashi is a hell of a player.
It's stuff like that that always makes me disregard tier lists. if a single player can carry a character for a whole country, clearly the character is good, just not common.
@@itol2201 Biggest issue with tier lists in modern games (ESPECIALLY this one) is that the balance really is WAY tighter than anyone is willing to admit and even the absolute worst characters aren't that bad and the most egregious top tiers aren't that oppresive
Some notes I took so far playing this character every day since release: Good move speed Demon chop is GOOD His grounded fireball is competing for best in class His damage isn't amazing given his small health pool, doesn't hit anywhere close to Marisa. Does chunk in the corner. He has a safe jump, divekick/cross up, off of light tatsu He has good whiff punish buttons 6f medium punches Good drive rush His air fireball, while good, does not stay on screen when he's hit Has meaty ground fireball setups Good punish counter starter in qcb + punch And, MOST OF ALL, a lot of scrubs are complaining right now that he sucks. LMFAO
I only disagree with his damage, i think him being second best right behind Marisa in that category qualifies him as having 'amazing damage' And i understand the argument about his health being lower, but unlike Marisa, he has a lot more tools to force an offense and get damage more often
I'll list the tools he DOESN'T have: Frame 5 command grab Armor move Armor break Set up things like blanka-chan Rekka Strike lvl 1 instead of projectile Wall bounce special Combo out of raw overhead Special resource That's it, can't think of anything else
@@whizthesugoiHe doesn't have wallbounce special, but he can combo off of his flaming palm in the corner. His OD air fireball also launches. His combo extension ability is more than sufficient.
HARD disagree on the dmg, his dmg is insane, plus you get so much more after it compared to other characters. also ppl are saying that he sucks? idk you could possibly come to that conclusion lmao
One thing I love about Akuma in SF6 is that he ACTUALLY feels like a glass-cannon in this game. Everyone does such insane damage that he can't mess up or he eats 50-60%. But he ALSO deals good damage. I think that was one thing I wasnt a huge fan of in SF4, or SF5. While there were situations where you COULD do big damage to Akuma, it never really felt like he was a glass-cannon. But just a cannon.
Hey Sajam im coding my own fighting game and spending alot of time on the script, music, and pixel art. What do you think is important for me to consider, study, or otherwise be cognizant of while I produce it to ensure it’s quality, playability, and ability to create a community?
Non ironically it's a good idea to get gud at atleast one fighting game so you have a better understanding of how the games work. FGs are the kind of game where one single frame could make a balanced move completely busted, so it's very easy to create a bad/toxic game even tho you had good intentions. It's really hard to maintain a playerbase with a Kusoge game, specially nowadays.
You might have to do a little more research into different types of FG’s as well so you can get a good idea as to the direction you want to take the game as well. Trying to make a game for everyone is how you make a game for no one!
Uhh, I've thought about this one, boss. The netcode is on top of the list. Beyond that, consult more top players like Sajam and maybe DM them to look at the neutral of your game if possible. The fgc is nice, so I imagine people would love to help out.
Dude your akuma is so good wtf lol how do you keep the pressure up? I find myself hesitating a lot. Especially when I know they can do an OD shoryuken or something. Also DeeJay and Juri are like a thorn in my side right now
its been intresting watching akuma players. you can see people still learning. ive seen 3 different players, those who focus on punch combos, those who focus on using kicks to just edge the hit and use akumas speed to keep the distance, and those who focus on the air to bait switch ups.
Man, Sajam just dropped this video as Brawlpro dropped his Tekken Slam sequel. My life’s not boring by any means but damn does it feel like it’s peaking.
They've done a pretty good job designing a guy who looks genuinely very strong but also like he'd immediately crumple if you punched him in the stomach.
I was scared to play ranked because I've mostly played Tekken the last couple months, I beat my first ever diamond player in the last game with drive rush into demon and ranked at Diamond 2, 20200 LP. My highest rank before that with Chun and Ken was around 15k. I think this character might be pretty good.
@@THiZZyMcGUiREyeah I was so afraid of that that I spent a few hours in training throughout the week. Learning movement in tekken is so involved that I somehow completely lost the muscle memory for cancelling DP into level 3, like my hand forgot how it normally holds the stick for inputs and I had to spend an hour just on that.
I would love to see a handcam on your sf games just because of how good it sounds when you do a couple of normals and it sounds like brrrrat brrat brrat 😍 Also akuma has to get nerfed soon surely 😂 He's so fun to play though
the low health has never stopped Akuma from being a top tier in the past. Especially when his own damage is high enough to kill most characters in as many touches as they take to kill him(or he does it in less, looping safejumps as he does it)
The main issue i have fighting akuma right now, is, i swear his normals reach so far. I constantly feel like i cant believe certain moves hit me lol and his jump in buttons fucking smoke some of my anti airs
Yeah he's got some strong reach, been also fighting a buncha Akuma players and the scary ones are either mad aggressive or they space themselves enough to not get punished lol
5:55 "That was a punish? Im down" Literally... the character. Once you learn what the moves can do this character is the epitome of just doin shit. 😂🤣😂🤣
Down + kick during forward jump. I can’t remember if it’s medium kick specifically or if kick strength determines the angle (that’s how it works on demon flip)
My tier list for top five: 1. Lily 2. Luke 3.Cammy 4.Chun li 5.Aki In my opinion they need to nerf the shit out of Luke and Chun li. At the bottom of the tier list just like the pre-patch is ken. Ken needs more buffs and less nerfs.
Is it still Akuma Fighter 6? Let me know when its not. I can see CPT being 80% Akuma. You know a character is dumb when their worst matchup is a mirror.
dude, anyone that lets you demon flip like this on them in a match is actually trash. you can just jump back lp any version of demon flip done in a block string
Why the f are you cutting out the matches so much? 2 minutes in and there are like 4 cuts, so annoying, like what is even the point? Do you think ppl won't watch longer videos? This video is already 1h long, so might as well put the whole thing.
I mean I'm sure, just like me, a lot of ppl are watching these videos to learn, and if you know how fighting games work you know it's important to see the whole set, to see the adjustments and stuff like that.
i belive that after this patch ed went from low mid tier to low tier i just cant figure that character out yet im a trash plat 5 player and when i try to use my st mk i just get punish for tryiing to use it and even using the flickers is dangerous if u openent randomly jumps or di i just delete the game waiting for new patch and maybe some fixes to ed
@@alfredososa3059 univesal changes affect him brah u forget about that? and ed was always low tier mid tier watch any tournament hes not even getting into top 24 thats says alot about the character dumbass
"oh demon flip isn't even that good, just dp it"
My brother in Christ that shit is hard
Basically the same as "just drive impact jinrai kick!!!!"
People say that until they get baited and have half their health bar evaporate 💀

@@thuroria7631 You mean Aki's normal thats upper body air invuln from frame 2? Sorry not everyone has a 6P in this game.
@@1000Tomatoes not to mention the times when you dp but it whiffs because they did fireball or something
Modern be like 😂
'5 demon flips into a perfect' "It's not BM I swear"
Sajam proving he's a douche errytime
Hey, gimme a strong demon flip and imma use it.
Hey, if it works
he's saying it's sicknasty and probably the best thing to do
BM is when you do suboptimal stuff to style on people, not the best possible thing. it ain't BM to win
If I wake up DP in the corner 5 times and I win, is it BM, or did I just outplay my opponent?
THC Mochi is a top tier name. I respect the word play
Green color also 😂
but imagine a actual piece of mochi with thc in it. oh i'll be all over that.
Weed isn't cool or edgy anymore. It's legal in most states in some way. "Weeeeeed maaaaan." Cringe AF.
Nah dude it's crazy how they said "Honda's design is kinda silly yeah" and then gave Akuma buttslam
thank your lucky stars that demon flip doesn't have the third option anymore, the demon flip command grab
Jamie S1: F it we ball (desperate)
Jamie S2: F it we ball (vibing)
Damian Flips would have been a fine name too 🤔
Demon Philip
@@NemSumeragiThat’s a good one
the craziest part about this video is that he cut dozens of matches after placements. imagine how many demon flip chops sajam did to get master
I feel like not naming yourself Charlie Choplin was a missed opportunity
Cheers Sajam for this. A wise man says, "I don't know" in the face of uncertainty.

Never in my year of Street Fighter 6 have I *EVER* seen the Yellow Chun Li.
You’re right, demon flip isn’t ok. In fact, it’s great!

Armor move
Armor break
Set up things like blanka-chan
Rekka
Strike lvl 1 instead of projectile
Wall bounce special

That's degen behavior. Seek God

Make a SF like game where grapplers can be top tiers thx 😊

Gary Gouki is good but Sunny Go Satsu is stronger.
One of the best sf announcers and not too bad of a player
My guy 👌
"Chipotle Challenger" For some reason I really don't mind the Chipotle plugs from Sajam LOL. I find it entertaining and well incorporated.
There's a plethora of good options for Akuma account names here, I think I probably would have gone with Sean Goku Satsu.
What if instead of Akuma his name was Freakuma and instead of demon flipping he rages on his demon til he Messatsus?
They've done a pretty good job designing a guy who looks genuinely very strong but also like he'd immediately crumple if you punched him in the stomach.
sf6 akuma looks like the liver king man i can't get past it
The demon is getting old
As much as I love Akuma’s overall design in this game… the paper thin bodyfat percentage and juiced gut is definitely off putting.
Sajam I hope your Chipotle features are a "Brought to you by Carl's Jr" situation.
YOOOO been waiting for this one^
I was scared to play ranked because I've mostly played Tekken the last couple months, I beat my first ever diamond player in the last game with drive rush into demon and ranked at Diamond 2, 20200 LP.

Can capcom revert the placement change so sajam places at D1 so we get more content
I would love to see a handcam on your sf games just because of how good it sounds when you do a couple of normals and it sounds like brrrrat brrat brrat 😍
Also akuma has to get nerfed soon surely 😂 He's so fun to play though
I've played against THC mochi before, they made me lab the dhalsim matchup because I hadn't played against Dhalsim before getting to diamond
I just dropped by to like the video bc the thumbnail made me laugh
THC Mochi might not be the best Dalhsim player, but he's definetly the highest
I feel safe saying unless some crazy ass nerfs no buffs come out for akuma, top 4
is that a weed dhalsim
it would be pretty funny if heavy tatsu just anti-aired air fireball because of projectile invincibility
Honestly it feels like his lower health isn't much of a factor. Or maybe that's my experience so far
the low health has never stopped Akuma from being a top tier in the past. Especially when his own damage is high enough to kill most characters in as many touches as they take to kill him(or he does it in less, looping safejumps as he does it)
Blanka actually has really good answers for demon flip with his multi angle Blanka balls
is this canon-based balancing
Y'all remember that song "I'm Not Okay" by My Chemical Romance? What a good song. It holds up, too.
It's called "Demon Raid" not "Demon flip". Look into the move list. "Demon Flip" sounds silly.
The main issue i have fighting akuma right now, is, i swear his normals reach so far. I constantly feel like i cant believe certain moves hit me lol and his jump in buttons fucking smoke some of my anti airs
great fast normals, fastest walkspeed in the cast and every light tatsu leads into a safejump. Character can do anything you want.
Yeah he's got some strong reach, been also fighting a buncha Akuma players and the scary ones are either mad aggressive or they space themselves enough to not get punished lol
48:52 combo was so sick
I was expecting the name to be Danny Demon Flip, but maybe that’s too long
Is it true that Akuma's standing overhead is safe? :O
What fight pad are you using?
5:55 "That was a punish? Im down"
Literally... the character. Once you learn what the moves can do this character is the epitome of just doin shit. 😂🤣😂🤣
anyone know what the input is for the regular dive kick? it doesn’t show it in the command list for some reason
Down + kick during forward jump. I can’t remember if it’s medium kick specifically or if kick strength determines the angle (that’s how it works on demon flip)
Its medium kick @@TigBlack7
Will it kill for this game finna rob me of my points now 😭
I’d rather listen to nails on a chalkboard then endure Sajam’s lazy back of the throat voice.
top 5- Guile,Ken,Chun li,Rashid,Akuma
Sajam has the best thumbnails 🤣🤣
they will nerf akuma when the next dlc character comes out
Does anyone know which controller he's using in this video?
Surrender yourself....to Satsui no Harry!
You gotta use "Jim Goku Satsu" for your name next time
Not gonna sugarcoat it
I feel like aki is top 5 now.
it's plus 5 actually lol 7 from deep
So tired of playing against Akuma players in ranked...😩
drive Impact blows air fireball the fuck up!
also light DP goes right through
HK beats TK ex Hado pretty easy
Demon flip dipped in Mama Liz’s Top Tier Oil?
59:20 that Ken player need to learn the matchup😂. I think he’s just completely unprepared for the air fireball.
It’s painful knowing he doesn’t know
But if Akuma good then why die fast? checkmate streamer man
No fr is Demon Flip is plus
The chop is plus 5, the kick it depends on where it lands but is mostly minus but safe. The sweep is plus 2
do a flip
I have a 65% win rate against Akuma. I don’t find him intimidating or annoying to play against. I wouldn’t put him in the top 5 as it stands
My tier list for top five:
1. Lily
2. Luke
3.Cammy
4.Chun li
5.Aki
In my opinion they need to nerf the shit out of Luke and Chun li.
At the bottom of the tier list just like the pre-patch is ken.
Ken needs more buffs and less nerfs.

You know a character is dumb when their worst matchup is a mirror.
