Crush opponents with the art of “Goukizeme”: Akuma taunt okizeme & some combos for Street Fighter V

Murder opponents with some swagger using these okizeme techniques.

In Street Fighter V, Akuma possesses a power no one else does: his taunt deals damage! This may be well-known to anyone facing an Akuma and getting stunned with almost no life left, but the taunt’s slow startup makes it typically impractical–even though it can be used to start some damaging combos, if it hits.

Vandylizer wants to help Akuma players find their inner swag demon, and has thus put together this guide on how to apply Akuma’s taunt in okizeme. Check it out, and show your opponents how weak they truly are!

For some more Akuma okizeme, have a look at this V-Trigger okizeme video from The Prince:

The Prince has also uploaded some videos inspired by Javits’ recent Twitter challenges–this first video demonstrates a two-combo kill on Akuma (using Akuma, with a stun and a Critical Art), the second video is an example for the #1throw1comboDIZZY challenge.
