Thank you for putting up this video. First you taught me how to play Juri and now Akuma. Understanding that light tatsu is the key piece to his combos really opened up my understanding of the character.
I've had the teleport into command grab go behind the opponent through some moves and grab punish, not sure on why the scenarion happens sometimes but there might be something there, if you set jamie to do qcb medium punch as a reversal if you do a jab into teleport command grab you'll go through the moves startup and punish with the grab, might be something to it, maybe as a read on drive rush button?
To maximize damage from 1 drive rush, I'm doing this combo that does 2973 damage: Standing Heavy Punch Cancel Drive Rush Standing Heavy Punch Viscera Piercer (Medium Punch, Medium Punch) Heavy Tatsumaki If I have Lvl 3 super art, I don't do the Heavy Tatsumaki - instead, I do Medium Adamant Flame into Lvl 3 (now the combo does 4841 damage) Could someone explain why I shouldn't be doing this? I ask this because at 7:35, Nephew mentions that you cash out on damage by doing any Super Art out of the Light Tatsumaki, but based on my testing, this is not the optimal route for dealing the most damage possible. If I want to do a Lvl 1 or Lvl 2 Super Art, I get more damage by doing that Super Art out of the Viscera Piercer in the combo I mentioned above.
@@jibbyfoob2 things, 1. light dp does all the damage possible of the move before canceling to level 3, while medium and heavy have other hits so the first one isn't as strong. 2. When you do the drive rush combo, if you can, try to drive rush foward hp into down hp, if you can't, do drive rush stand heavy into medium kick. That does less scaling so more damage. Add that with the light dp and you get between 100 and 500 more damage
@@ΚρανίΩ Hey thanks man, I appreciate the info - I've altered the combo so that it now does 3036 damage: Standing Heavy Punch Cancel Drive Rush Forward Heavy Punch Crouching Heavy Punch Heavy Tatsumaki However, I'm still getting more damage if I replace the Heavy Tatsumaki with Heavy Adamant Flame into Lvl 3 (4929 Damage) than I if replace it with Light Shoryuken into Lvl 3 (4741 Damage).
@@jibbyfoobi think they meant doing light tatsu > light dp (but that doesn't work midscreen) and then cancel into lvl3 super. Anyway, with that route you can cancel into lvl3 directly from H adamant flame if midscreen or link light dp after and then cancel into lvl3 if you're at the corner
I play Akuma last night in casuals I get destroyed by sweaty pushovers using Akuma as like a mirror showdown. This video helps me a lot thank you Nephew!
His doesn’t link that way in 6. That’s why everyone uses the sweep or crouching kick move; it also gives you good okie. But the dp whiffs similar to like ken unless he uses certain ones I’m a Kenbro tho. So I can be way off on this
It tends to whiff if u hit it from relatively far and even if you're close enough to get the dp, having good oki midscreen and a safejump on the corner is usually better than doing ~500 more dmg That being said, i like to do the dp ending bc it feels great and the oki isn't that bad
I kinda half assed my placements .... got gold 5? BUT I've always enjoyed the slow long grind of getting to diamond. Did the same thing with Cammy and the reward of fighting through many fighters feels so much better to me. The process of learning my character and learning matchups is so much better to me. Akuma is fucking fun.... Im having slight trouble remembering my routes 😂 but I'll get there in a few days of practicing. I am ONCE AGAIN addicted to this shitty ass amazingly fun game 😂... Im in danger.
To be honest, if your focus is on combos because you know how to play the game, switch to classic. If you like modern more, try to find the combos yourself cause not many people will have videos on them. Good luck
Freaking TH-cam did not give me the notification for this. I've watched every single one of these so you think it's dumb ass algorithm would have recognized I want to watch this. The reason I found it is because I saw one of those "Other peoples matches Uploads" channel post some Akuma stuff and I thought... Nephew's got a road to master up I bet. Dang it TH-cam. Get your act together.
It's insane that DSP got 5 diamond star too. His akuma is so trash, but he was so lucky to play against the worst players on earth and won 8/10 is just so stupid.
Akuma hasn't been out for that long lol. He will get better with him. I've watched his SF6 videos and his online matches. He's really good in the game. Definitely he enjoys it more than SF5. Still have to go to combo lab and practice more.
@jkdman2007 He's actually not bad. He's got plenty of wins in SF6 online. He's doing better in SF6 than SF4 and SF5. I know he can get better but he's not that bad at the game. I've watched his SF4 SF5 videos. He's better in 6. There's other players worse than him.
He drops combos all the time and he mashes all the time. He doesn't know frame data and he doesn't study the matchup. For a guy playing vedio games for a living he is very bad.
That was nice of you to let Justin win his placement match
ggs nephew i was astro in here. i was scared as hell to play you but i had a fun lol. hopefully we meet again👍🏾
We are witnessing the origin of Super Dark Nephew
Very fun to watch love the coverage of the char and learned a lot! Cheers brotha 🎉
I love that you didn’t think everyone would be playing him, but good stuff as always Nephew.
“People don’t usually play DLC “
Everyone trying to figure out what he can do to stand any chance of the akumapocalypse 😂
Thank you for putting up this video. First you taught me how to play Juri and now Akuma. Understanding that light tatsu is the key piece to his combos really opened up my understanding of the character.
You can actually set up a meaty teleport command grab from light tatsu into sweep
First time playing SF entirely, but never thought I'd have a Nephew teach me.
I like the longer guides. Thanks Neph 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥
Crazy day 1 content
Have you seen the Shin Akuma Easter egg? He can get new supers. Probably will never happen in a real fight but it's awesome.
That Aki is cracked
Great video, helped me out tremendously ! Thank u Nephew.
I was waiting for this video. Thank you as always!
We certainly didn't have to wait long lol

Fun fact akuma has 6 supers
Pretty cool they gave him secret supers
They're not really secrets@@AaronW0885
7 if u include air fireball super
8 with air fireball and ca. He has level 1, air level one, level 2, kkz, other secret level 2, level 3, ca, raging demon.
Love the throwback to 3rd strike akuma with 3 supers while everyone has 1
do you play with an arcade stick/hitbox or cntroller
So what do you do for fun ilke sitting in a padded room and doing the same move for hours
Question: How come you don’t DP after the light Tatsi combo? You use the sweep instead and I noticed Justin does as well? Just curious
His doesn’t link that way in 6. That’s why everyone uses the sweep or crouching kick move; it also gives you good okie. But the dp whiffs similar to like ken unless he uses certain ones

Cause you get a safe jump or double dash like nephew said in video
I got pushed to diamond 2 after the first 10 matches. I was shocked no idea how they decided that but after a while I'm still diamond 3
I keep getting my ass handed to me, I just came back to the game for Akuma but I quite literally cannot compete
That's okay. If you keep playing you'll start winning.
awesome vid as always!
wow lucky match against justin. i wonder how itd have been after akumas's been out for awhile
Lost all my placement matches. Platinum 5. I’ll take it

“Did Ed not change at all” he did but honestly it doesn’t feel like it lmao
I placed d5 as akuma after a month of struggling w Ed to hit d1. Feels bad
Is that a modded color?
for raging demon his health must be at 25% must also have lvl 3 ca rdy as well for it to work
Will these combos still work on modern? If not, are there any places i can look for some?

show us the cpu 8 battle
Gotcha: step one, learn classic finally
