I think Akuma can be very good in the hands of someone who is technical with great footsies and can fast confirm reactions. So, basically, Punk could probably have a very goo Akuma if he mained it.
"someone who is technical" This is implying Akuma is technical at all in this game. This is the most brain dead and easiest he's ever been and I am all for it lmao
@@arpadszabo661 I'm at platinum actually,but how cute of you to dig in my comments and use a comment I already said. Really shows how creative people in bronze are lmao
@21Handguns yeah gonna have to disagree, he's been way more braindead in sf4 and even tekken. In this game he actually is pretty technical with his combo routes and tech
I was having this same thought about no air fireballs. Its interesting seeing the different styles of Akuma, Justin and Nephew are fiends for the air fireball, but Punk just out neutrals like a monster.
It's been a long time Punk, I'm glad you looks good man, one of your fan from France, don't have much time to play anymore but I'm happy to look your content, as always you GOAT.
I played this game for a year since release, yet now i feel like it just got released as Akuma is the first character i actually have an interest in maining and not just playing 2-3 matches before swapping to someone else. I’m only going back and forth between high plat and low diamond so for me it doesn’t even matter how good a character is, but he’s just mad fun.
That’s how I’ve felt about the sf6 roster too. No character interested me enough to play. I bought at release and switched over to Tekken 8 for the past year. Akuma actually feels fun enough to go back and actually play sf6.
from the moment i saw akuma was releasing 2024 spring i knew i was gonna have to wait a while before i would actually get someone to main😭 i tried playing juri but idk she didn’t really hook me in, and eddy looked cool too but akuma got announced so quickly after i j decided to wait lol
I'm right there with you. I've been waiting for him to come out since release. SF6 is the first SF game since Alpha 3 and 3rd Strike that I've actually wanted to play. Just had to wait for my main to arrive :).
@@hofaho lil bro, your insecurity is screaming through this comment. Let me guess, you were a very skilled and huge brain JP or Ken main who now feels threatened by a new character because your life revolves around achieving things in a videogame, because that’s the only place where you have worth. If you would’ve spend 1 minute to try to use at least half of your 2 existing braincells, then you would’ve understood that i said “i don’t care how good a character is”.
He feels like 6th-8th best. No reason still not to pick Luke, Chun, DJ, JP, Guile, or Cammy over Akuma. As he said, having lower health is NOT GOOD in a game where anyone cna do 50% easily with level 3 stocked and people optimize, youre giving away 6k EASILY and for him, youre setting up easy 2 touch kills.
Okay? Been like this since forever, never was an issue and its not an issue now. Unless you go to competitions to be the winner of the whole event, who cares.
That light tatsu to sweep combo ender is broken af. That's a safe jump setup from literally anywhere not just corner. Anytime you can have a safe jump setup anywhere, your character is up there. Then he has multitude of air options to bait dp. He's the option king lol.
@@yourstillwithmehe said bait . If you condition M/H Demon Flip, you can do lights to bait out DP’s . Then there’s Zone 4 Air Hados . Wins the fireball war against most characters . His tools are crazy . There’s so much more bullshit too
People always hate on punk or think he's washed up cuz he gets to the very end of all the biggest and best tourneys and loses sometimes badly. What they don't realize is this guy achieves this without giving 100%. Let me explain, the guys punk goes against in all those finals or even losers finals are always players that stick to their 1 main and 1 backup character. They only use those 2 characters and practice using only those two character, ALWAYS!. THEY DEDICATE EVERYTHING TO WINNING THOSE TOURNEYS AND DON'T WAVER FOR ANY REASON! Punk on the other hand is all over the place, I think his content creator side severely holds him back. Punk uses all kinds of characters and even plays other games very close to our leading up to these big tourneys. I've seen him go online and consistently use other random characters weeks away and even days away from huge tournaments. He constantly tries other characters or things and even other games for his content and I think that's what holds him back, honestly I think he's wasting his huge and rare talent without taking advantage or going hard at winning those championships for the 🇺🇲. I think if he truly stuck to his guns and said f this no more effing around and when I do content it will only be with my mains (like all the other top competitors do) then he will consistently win. I hope he brings home these cups and championships for 🇺🇲, I hope he focuses on his mains and years everybody up.
Bout time DAYUM BEEN WAITING ON YOU ALL DAY 😂😂😂 Other people showing your Akuma I'm like naaah I wanna see punk play with face cam then I'll come back 🤣🤣🤣
i wonder what character will be announced on the 10th 11th or 12th..........im calling it will be sakura and fei long. and also i feel A.K.I is fei longs villian for some reason. mostly because bruce lee died to poison. and that would be perfect for a setup with fei long getting announced and his story arc. and also the way she fights is kind of like fei longs fighting style. and sakura because theyve already announced a character with the hado fighting style. so i feel like since the hado style villian was announced just moments before gaming season, a hero with the hado will be announced on a gaming season day. (this june 10th, 11th, or 12th.)

One other thing when you fet higher is some people will do a button into drive rush that is plus and either grab or poke into grab shit gets confusing sometimes thats what im struggling on rn especially in the corner.@dmcfail987
I'm trying my best to get better but because I play so many other games I feel like I can't get past SILVER as a celling top for ranked. I can get casuals with ease and then have some good matches with competitive players like myself that maybe play a lot of other games and don't invest a lot of time but I feel like that next step up I really struggle with. I keep making mistakes of doing anti-air moves when I don't mean to then get punished, I can't get combos down and I feel like I am just stuck. I have always loved fighting games I want to get to the next level I just don't know how.
Also I want to use my drive tickets to get SF4 Vol 1 or 2 in the music section because I want to add this theme to my Ken in Ranked th-cam.com/video/5D6Y4VqJrO8/w-d-xo.html&start_radio=1&ab_channel=Zenriju does anyone know if this is in Vol 1 or 2 or none ?
I honestly don’t know who the Street Fighter 6 developers can bring out in the coming seasons that can be better than Akuma. He’s so good that I wonder if they should’ve waited and brought him out in the last season.
Interesting. If Gouki was destroying the ranks would that be better? He SHOULD be losing alot right now. He's a new character. If he wasn't, that would reflect poorly on the game competitively. It would mean he was just THAT unbalanced.
How many things do 9000 damage but don't do 10000 damage. How often does taking one extra throw matter? It matters... just not super often. In exchange you get a character that is pretty good at everything. Great walk speed, good fireballs, good buttons, lots of practical confirms, hits hard, has an invincible DP, has a "zero frame" throw super. We'll see where he shakes out.
