- Akuma is the newest character to Street Fighter 6 and he is quite clearly strong. However, people are getting away with a lot of gimmicks right now, so let's make sure we don't let them do that! A quick guide to some of what Akuma can do and how we can make sure we beat it clean
#streetfighter6 #sf6 #akuma
great vid! should I always use Heavy late DP? or medium / light can be usefull too?
Depends on the character you're using
Great question and something I should have mentioned so I will pin the comment so people can see the answer haha.
Generally, most characters have MORE anti air invul, the weaker the DP you do is. So for most characters (I think all characters, but could be wrong), technically using a Light DP will give you the best chance to cleanly go through the air fireball. That being said, when Akuma does the air fireball, his jump angle's tend to be very shallow if he does it early, so depending where he's jumping from, your light DPs may end up whiffing. If you are confident it will reach, light DPs are best.
I think using medium DPs will give you the best of both worlds, a little more invul and a little more range, but if you are confident with your timing, the heavy DPs are the least likely to miss.
@@MikeyDLuffy Thx!! I think I'll use medium for Ryu and Heavy for Akuma.
@@MikeyDLuffythank you cuz I have no idea how to deal with his air fireball and end getting walled out because of it
I tried to DP the level 8 CPU on the jumping fireball and he countered it with a DP of his own, then went into standing heavy kick, medium kick, DR heavy kick, medium, then OD flame fist to get the wall splat into level one and took 55% of my health lol. Maybe I was too late on it but man it stung
Watching this as an Akuma player to beat all the other Akumas in ranked
Watching this as an Akuma player to stop beating myself 😂
Same
@@GramdalfFGC 😡
@@kccts44 listen buddy there can’t be 2 akumas winning in ranked.
Akuma Fighter 6 ZZZZZZzzzzzz
I appreciate it… i played probably 30 matches with 27 of them being Akuma. He’s a menance
Thank you for this breakdown
I absolutely despise this character
Thank you, i was studying his heavy kick, have avoided before but didnt realize that was because i was crouching
A matchup guide is always more welcome than a character guide. And I love your pace when talking, clear to the point while keeping all the details!
This is exactly what I wanted to see. I figured out the trick with his HK and his air fireballs, but I wanted to see what kinda stuff I could punish with.
Good stuff! New sub from me!
Now I don’t even feel like playing against him I just get irritated if I see him on my screen yesterday I played 7 to 8 games in line with different player with akuma main
think of it this way: if you learn the matchup, you can rack up wins and rank up faster. I'm somewhat decent against Akuma, so I get free wins by countering his fake setups
Akuma fighter 6... he seems S++ tier right now.
He might be right next to luke tbh.
THANK YOU SO MUCH I NEEDED THIS
It sucks that I stopped playing SF6 after fighting a shit ton of Kens in ranked over and over again. So I thought I could finally jump back on since every character got nice changes and the whole roster could be useable and fun. WELL NEVER FUCKING MIND lmao. 50 matches against Akuma, and 4 other characters 1 or 2 matches each. So boring.
I just got into the game and online is boring as fuck. All Akumas all the time.
@philvaneman5769 give it a week or 2. End of the day this was always going to happen, you can't bring Street Fighters coolest character onto the roster and expect majority of people to not try him out
He just dropped, of course everyone is playing him
Ummm...welcome to fighting games...this happens every time a new character releases. 😒🤦🏻♂️
So true. Even if it's normal was the same with Rachid and aki, ed and then Évery time new characters release.
But in sf 6 this more annoying because it feel like ken> new character > Ken > new character >Ken.
Hope with the new season it will change even if I bet it will be Ryu all the time now...
Just discovered your channel. Good info. Thanks.
@@jettmanas glad to help!
Love how he uses the word "cheese" so much for Akuma
I think you talk faster than Akuma can walk hehe. Great video - thank you!
🤣. Tried not to fluff the video but yeah I could probably slow it down a tad haha
@@MikeyDLuffy Fluff it was not! 😂 It’s a great video man - this is definitely going to take my gameplay to a higher level, so thanks again!
I was already doing relatively well in the matchup so far but wow this video increases my knowledge & confidence tenfold.
Thank you so much, I should really try to lab specific characters more to learn lmao.
Glad to hear it helped!
Nice I love this type of content TH-cam sends me
appreciate the video its gonna be great to understand what he got instead of practicing in ranked e
Great vídeo! I know its a lot to ask but you should do a series of “stop losing” with all the characters!
I feel personally attacked.
Gouki san
So moral of the story is get a character with a dp lol got it
As chun li, you can react to air fireball withex or medium hazanshu pretty consistently with punish counter into a combo (the medium one I think combos into cr. lp into light sbk I think). Heavy hazanshu if you read it early enough gets a fat punish combo as well
Good stuff thank you!!
Thanks for the awesome video I apprecaite since i don't have the dlc :)
As Zangief I have no idea how to deal with Akuma, Ive played 4 matches against him and have lost all 4 of them. His offensive pressure is too much to keep up! If anyone has any tips, please help me!
Lariat is really good at dealing with his air options
Why play any other character? Just play Akuma and learn how to fight against Akuma. Everyone else is garbage.
Can you elaborate on what specifically is giving you zangrief?
Lariat (especially OD) is really good at dealing with all the aerial stuff mentioned in this video. Akuma is historically very good at not trying to interact with Gief because he moves so fast and has good fireballs, so it's definitely a match that will test your patience and make you slowly just try to walk him down. That being said a single mistake from Akuma should cost him half his health in this matchup. Don't be scared to use Gief large health pool as a resource. You may run into a fireball here or there but once you get anywhere close, you have to try to see what panic options they go for and really take advantage of him
@@MikeyDLuffy Thanks a lot! I tried your crouch blocking in neutral tips ended up getting many free grabs as a result of it. As you said, I've been using lariat to discourage Akuma from spamming his demon flips. It is still an uphill battle but at at least it is not as steep anymore!
Nice, I like videos like this. You gonna do this for all new characters?
I always plan to. I did it with Rashid when he came out! But I wasn't playing much when Ed and Aki dropped so I didn't know enough to make a video on it haha
heck yeah grabbed the 1000th like
@@0verkill312 appreciate all 1000 of them!
Ima need one on bison EXPEDITIOUSLY
good video, thanks
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
Good video 👍
I play Guile, I don't find this match up to be too bad, though it does test my defense if Akuma gets in.
Flash Kick covers most of his air options and I can at least keep up with his fireballs using H sonic blade into boom and can win the fireball war with resources (level 2 or level 1). I find Akuma's st. HP spacing trap is often a good place to throw out Guile's UDK, the space is safe enough for me if it gets blocked and I've often caught Akuma whiffing a cr. MK. Thanks for the heads up on the red flash on the teleport though, I often mistook that for charging a fireball.
Guile is to slow for Akuma! you have to do so much to win it’s not even fair!
The akuma mains studying the video so they already know what your gonna try to read and exploit it:
Honestly, the fireball spam is what’s killing me.
Main BLANKA here is hard for me to go DP since i have to charge it
any tips for Ken players who run Dragonlash? jw
All the sheep bots online spamming Akuma like they think they are nice.
Don’t cash out your drive meter against akuma’s forward fierce kick. Don’t cash out your drive meter
Everyone bitching in the comments, lol. Great guide, keep it up.
Hi mate, can you safely DI his ST HK?
Yeah you can, it's not cancelable
Can someone please time stamp the adamant flame section?
Hey great vid! Can ask you to explain your options when Akuma is spamming that cross-up string over and over. Idk what buttons he's pressing because I don't own him, but I think its like jump-in MK, into standing jabs, into low kicks, repeat. It tilts me so quick and sometimes they mix it up with a tick throw and I just lose it.
The one thing you forgot to mention is when I go against Akumas and after you keep DP and Anti Air them, they will just start spamming fireballs and mix it up with a DP or Drive Rush.
Yea, but every shoto in the game can do this lol. Dealing with this stuff is just learning the game as a whole. Was outlining the cheese that Akuma specifically is trying to get away with
As manon, fighting akuma is actually miserable. I have no idea what im supposed to do when he does his air fireball
His air firballs and that command grab 😢 any idea how to break it?
@@shadowsdie2wice no idea for airfireballs because it depends a lot on your char. But for command grab, during the phasing you can just quick punch him in the face. He do takes damage tho
with Marisa this matchup is horrible, dont know what to do
From what I recall, you can gladius through his jump air fireballs, phalanx over his ground fireballs, get a big punish with s.HP if you crouch his double kick, you just have to be patient and bully your way in, absolutely delete him if you touch him
akuma and m bison are too good man. they beat all my normals as ryu and most of them as luke. fighting them is so annoying
As a Kimberly player, in the name of the Bushinryu, *I WILL DESTROY ALL OF YOU AKUMA PLAYERS! ALL OF YOOOOOOOOOUUUU* 🥷🔥
i play akuma, die one thousand deaths!!!
Ha. Let's see how many of these people can do this on reaction LOL.
So if you dont have dp, you’re fked against air fireball, nice.
That's the literal opposite of what the video you supposedly just watched said. You can walk under, you can do a good normal, you can super. You can DI!
@@Demonstormlordliterally said that you need a read to do all of those. And with a read, what can’t be done in sf?
@@Shakenbake-in9ux I should have been more specific in the video, but you don't have to read it out of the blue. You still are reacting to him jumping and then once he leaves the ground you can make a choice. You can see him jump, react to it and press drive impact, and you will win cleanly if he air fireball'd. The "read" is if he will change his jump arc or not, but that's kind of the point of moves like this or divekicks etc. You can anti air him with normals consistently when he does air fireball if he's close enough, but if he doesn't do the air fireball, your anti air would have to be timed differently.
You can perfect parry and punish his landing as well. I know it's annoying to hear 'just perfect parry" but it's another option
@@remylebeau34 yeah, ill just perfect parry everything in the game, thanks!
Akuma has just come out and he is totally different from his past version. NO one is good with him right now, they just going with suboptimal strats. It like when sf6 came out and kens were using corner swap as a damage extender in the middle of the stage instead just corner carrying the ops.
Guile is so slow against Akuma that you can’t even press a button
You guys get rolled by the sirn lvl 8 cpu Akuma? I think I got 1 win in after 30 matches. Guy made no mistakes and had computer reactions.
Took me almost 100 tries total to beat him lol, i feel it. But im stubborn so... gotta get that title lol
next time i hop on imma try zang or marisa
Yeah lmao the cpu is insane. Going to have to make a sirn Akuma counterplay guide next 🤣
@Ironmaninfinite I clearly don't know how to do that lol
how do i beat akuma with modern Luke? akuma out frames even my fastest attack which is crouching light jab and i have no other fast hitting options against him that beat his frame advantage. akuma can throw out that double standing punch move or that double kick move and i cant do anything, not even block
The same with Guile I can even hit him on his mistakes
Well I'd suggest switching to manual
Why is he able to jump out of every drive impact or safe
I’m losing to this guy, as this guy 😅
The player
This character was a mistake
Nah
Jus hit em lol.
jajajajakuma
🤣
to beat akuma it's simple, just play perfectly. Lose anyway. Wait for patch. Ok now beat him
This is cope brother. If you were playing anywhere near perfectly you'd be winning evo
Video was trash aside from the low block
video came out 2 days after Akuma was released when people didn't know what he did
@@MikeyDLuffy ok
So far Akuma is a pretty average character. What sets him apart from his shoto peers are that he is plus frames on most of his moves and he has a very big tool kit. Other than that he doesn't have the good hitboxes like Luke or Ken, he doesn't have a corner carry like Ken and he doesn't exactly have the same damage output as ryu.
In this scenario, I think I'd rather call Akuma a jack of all trades, master of none. Rather than just saying that he is straight up better than all the other shotos
"Fattest punish of your life"
Proceeds to do a terrible combo lol
Is this a counterplay guide or a combo showcase
I hate how stubby akuma's normals are
Better to make them stubby then to be to fast with to much range and then don't get me started with his billion option
He has a really fast walk speed so it makes up for it
Lol. They are bigger than chun li's except the two pokes.
Hater. Try being a lover instead
@@TriforceofJacobI love how stubby his normals are.
Akuma iz easy to beat.
your character please 🙏 Guile is useless
Game is boring actualy
Might be helpful to list his most whiff punishable common normals. His double Hk is the only thing I consistently punish and some players don’t really use the button much in neutral
I play akuma and even though his overhead chop is safe on block you can react to it and punish on a read
Both 2MK and 2HK have a lot of recovery.
@@Demonstormlord St.Hp as well if you’re ready
