Who is Akumas worst match up?

Chromatic01 · 10-28-2004, 05:01 AM

Some people say ti is either Dudley or Makoto. Who do you think is the worst character for akuma to face.

expert hugo players... one super SP and u can prepare for the next round...

SrWilson3S · 10-28-2004, 05:21 AM

Makoto & Yun Also Alex ,Chun li and Ken can be a pain too.

G-Product · 10-28-2004, 10:04 AM

I disagree on Hugo. Akuma has a decent keep away game, with crouching MK's, standing HP's, fireballs and can apply pressure with air fireballs.

One Karakusa from Makoto, also known as the anti-shotokan move means its over for Gouki. She does stupid stun damage & physical damage, for Gouki that's bad.

BillyKane · 10-28-2004, 10:50 AM

Landing a Karakusa on your half of the screen against a decent Gouki is pretty difficult. I still don't think the match-up is anywhere as bad as people say.

Well, it's not that bad (vs Makoto)... but you just get that BIG fear factor. I'd say it's 6.5 - 3.5 in Makoto's favour

SrWilson3S · 10-29-2004, 04:02 PM

The only real thing that makes Makoto a threat is her stun and damage from the SA2 really. I personally don't find her that hard but she is worth mentioning as one of his problems especially if the other akuma player has never played a makoto before.
Yun again its mostly just the factor of Genei Jin the damage you can get off him in one is ludicris.
Alex is just the overall damage factor and hes far quicker than hugo and not easy to pin down.
Hugo I think is easyISH ;) for akuma provded you know what your doing akuma can totally pin him down played right.
Ken and Chun li are just ken and chun li lol usual reasons.

AKUMA2000 · 10-29-2004, 04:56 PM

Makoto.....she's fast as hell.

S7evynStorm · 11-01-2004, 11:24 PM

When Lifetimeboy plays Makoto, my akuma dies. He has this combo, two SAII's and dizzy. yeah. I lose.

BloodUrien · 11-13-2004, 05:06 AM

Makoto and Alex.

They are almost the same character. We call Makoto baby Alex here. lol

BananaWeed · 11-13-2004, 07:26 AM

Aside from the top 3, Makoto owns akuma pretty bad.

Jesus!!!!

I have the least problem when playing Oro.
I have the most problem when playing Hugo.

The spinning kick of Akuma can be a nightmare for my Urien and Hugo... but Oro doesn't have that problem since he is small...

thedude.com · 11-15-2004, 07:57 PM

akuma can escape everything

urien's aegis setup ...
oro's tengu pressure ...

his NIGHTMARISH match up is ken and chunli , 2nd is dudley and oro

i might say that ryu with denjin might come in handy

DooM · 11-15-2004, 11:11 PM

Getting a karakusa against a good akuma is really hard to do, its hard to do against any good player... just look at SBO1: Izu almost died and got one lucky grab in, match over, but look at how long it took to get that grab, he was lucky it was in the corner...

m3x · 11-16-2004, 08:16 AM

Yeah... but his low vitality and short stun-meter makes him a very disposable opponent specially for Makoto.

i think Akuma can escape Denjin setups as well.

i agree with Ken, Chun & Dudley though. the first 2 are self-explanatory. Dudley, well, he's a beast

. sometimes though, Akuma can give Dudley problems because he is a Shoto. and Shotos have a well balanced game. Dudley's biggest glaring weakness i'd say, is his inability to defend low

. well, not to that extreme, but he is quite vulnerable to low attacks. Akuma is quite versatile, high or low.

with the Makoto issue, i think it can go either way. but i still give the advantage to Makoto. that one Karakusa -> Abare -> Fukiage -> j. fierce is enough to sway things into her favor. and it's not like that's the only thing she can do against Akuma anyways. all her normals have decent to insanely good priority.

thedude.com · 11-16-2004, 08:45 PM

anyway akuma's hurricane spam is fucking irritating ...
but that can't do anything against chunli ...

if dudley got pressured by akuma , akuma gained the opportunity , dudley get's ggpo unless better quickly think away to toget the fuck out of the corner ..

but remember sbo2 ?? remember how akuma got fucked withing 10 seconds , that dudley is not pro , he is an 'AKUMA SLAYER' . the akuma player was careless ...
anyway dudley's faking does effective on shotos ...
i missed that clip...

oro VS akuma ...
i thought oro could win because of oro's tiny size body and stn damage .
i realize that oro takes alot of damage from akuma too ...
oro's able to dodge air-fire ball is good enough ...
oro could get fucked by akuma's pressure mixup too ...
and oro's dp is usually predictable ...
oro must use runaway tactics to fuck akuma player's mind ...
and you know that both characters must play carefully , akuma can get stunned by oro , oro's life's fucked with just a single BnB by akuma...

and akuma tend to jump less , why ?? because of oro's damaging air throw !!
