      It's literally identical to Ryu's cr.mk in every meaningful way (reach, startup, hitstun, total frames). Akuma got better walkspeed on top of that.
      If people feel like that button is stubby it's literally just because they're ass at the game.

    He's easy to use but to be optimal with him is insanely hard. Kind of a different way to have a skill ceiling with him rather than just execution. It's pretty cool to see.
    Like I seen kawano not give af about wake up setups and just goes highest raw damage every time. While most people online do tatsu sweep. Nice example of character expression and it seems to work well for him.

      His crouching mp is as good if not better than Luke's. His standing hk is plus on block I believe. You cannot anti-air him effectively because he has a multitude of options in the air. He has elite walk speed. He has four supers. He's not good, he's great. His damage defensively is his only drawback. Nothing he has is broken, but nothing sucks.

    Not impressed by players who only play characters based on whether they get buffed or nerfed, it's a pathetic cheap mindset , if ur favor character happens to get buffed cool, but if u switch off ur character just cuz they got nerfed , or switch to another just cuz another got buffed , that's just not something I can give praise for , there's something dignifying about winning with the character uve set on , regardless of buff or nerfs

    Akuma is busted. Currently the most overrepresented character in legend rank in week 1!! That's insane for a brand-new character drop.
    His health reduction is not enough to call him a true "pixie"/glass cannon character. My man does season 1 damage, too. When everyone in season 2 has had universal reductions in damage for the whole cast that 9k health is not as big an issue. The only truly scary matchup to Akuma in season 2 is Marisa or Zangief.
