Take a Trip to Akuma’s Moonlit Dojo for Ultra Street Fighter IV Anti-Balrog Tips

Akuma’s crouching forward in Ultra Street Fighter IV drastically lowers his hurtbox; it gets so low, in fact, that Ryu’s Super will sail right over him at the right spacing. With this in mind, CLxJames hit the lab to find practical uses for this technique in other matchups. The first he explores, which you’ll find in the video below, involves the Shadowloo Boxer himself, Balrog.

Since most of Balrog’s reversal options lack a low hitbox, Akuma can (almost) fearlessly apply meaty pressure with his crouching forward on a downed Boxer. A couple of Rog’s attacks will connect with the demon’s meaty attempts, but generally speaking, this okizeme option can be used to score the big damage and stun numbers that Akuma is known for.

As CLxJames shows, you can also buffer in a Raging Demon to make this option even more terrifying than it already is.
