We continue exploring the power of the Demon’s Path.
Even as 2016 draws to a close, there’s no slowing down the stream of new Street Fighter V Akuma gameplay, discoveries, and tech. Here’s another helping!
Firstly, here’s some meaty setups for Akuma from TSB|mynus (with some help from Javitz, Alioune, and others):
Burnout Fighter provides this video detailing use of Akuma’s Demon Flip as a pressure tool:
Akuma only needs one good reset to stun; Ultimacloud demonstrates in this combo/reset video.
Vandylizer found something interesting: Akuma can V-Trigger-cancel into his taunt, but if it’s not performed at the right time, the taunt will auto-cancel. Glitch?
VesperArcade has been working on his Akuma too, of course; here’s his video guide to Akuma’s 50/50 mixups:
And he’s also uploaded Ranked match footage of him taking his Demon online:
Maximilian also has been taking Akuma out for a spin (and loving the Cyber Akuma PC costume mod, obviously! (Reminder that Maximilian’s “boisterous” commentary can be NSFW at times!)
Xuses decided to throw a spotlight on Yuhi-Hikali, a promising Akuma player, in this match compilation:
For a battle between better-known players, how about RB|Snake Eyez’s Akuma going up against TS|Sabin’s renowned Dhalsim?
With all the great Akuma fights out there, Xuses has thus started a YouTube playlist of his Akuma match compilations.
That’s all the Akuma we’ve got for today–as usual, thanks to everyone that sent us tips!
