I love how Tokido's 'home' is Snowy Rail Yard, Kiryu Tsukimiya's 'home' is Old Temple, and Bullcat's 'home' is Solar Eclipse. They start to bring some more personality to the game in my opinion.
This video shows how much the game has evolved over the past few years. The amount of demon flips that went unpunished in this video blew my mind. Great video though, gotta love Tokido's Akuma.
I wouldn't say unpunished, more like, unchecked. It's not like demon flip has negative frames, unless of course some idiot uses the default sweep from it.
he's the one who inspired me to make my akuma better. its not easy to keep up that pace and execution. great video thanks for making it. its like a nice quick reference guide for keeping up the vortex.
Quang Tran you an absolute shit akuma this fool is trash watch the video again and these guys are also trash most just stand instead of blocking or anything
More compilations of top-players pls :D And also,im really grateful for all your effort and uploads! For me as an oldschool q3 player and a ssf4 noob this is so great ,thx again :D
Nice :) The comeback against Sagat was epic,the vortex strategies shown here definitely can help my akuma wake-up game =) thanks for uploading ShinAkuma! :-D
What I love about Tokido finishing rounds is that instead of using his ultra for an easy win on stunned characters, he decides to do some combo practice. Nice.
and well worth it too. I was seeing your page and noticed that a lot of things that are being done now you did WAY before. you're truly a legend bro. I just wished you would've continued to upload :(
If i was battling Tokido the last place i want to be is on the ground. I dont think i'd be able to get back up. I love his mix up game, even the great players struggle to guess right. Great compilation vid!!
thankyou for not doing lame transitions, music and special effects. and also thankyou for not doing a useless 1 minute intro that shows your name. Good compilation of Akuma mixup, thanks for putting this together!
It can be either light punch or medium punch. The cr. light punch is a little easier to connect for me, but the range isn't as far as the cr. medium punch. The farthest range (hitbox) after a standing Hard Kick is the cr.light kick, but it's harder to connect than both cr.mp and cr.lp, so you gotta pick your spots! And thanks man, your one of the original viewers of this channel, so I try my best to reply even though I don't upload anymore. :)
No, and I never said the attacks weren't blockable. The fact of the matter is if you are having trouble blocking the right way for the attack then parrying isn't going to help you as you have to guess the right direction to press to parry the attack. Please think before you reply.
Tokido lost so many matches when he was first starting out, but he got better and better and using Akuma. He is now so good that he can pwn Hiropon the Seth god like nothing. Tokido, you are an inspiration to us all!
@solidbeaver .... because a sweep enables you to work the vortex...you can't quick get up from a sweep, so you're able to continue your mix-ups on the opponent that is waking up for more damage over all...as you can see, tokido is confident enough that he skips guaranteed damage like a fancier longer combo so he can continue to apply the vortex for more simple combos which equals more damage overall...only time i see tokido dp after lk tatsu is when the dp damage will win the round for him.
@Nalkjn2 Thats the demon flip mixup. He can do a number of things and you basically have no choice but to guess. He can do a kick to the front of you, to the back. He can do neither and simply throw you. He could not do anything, land and then go straight into crouching jab attack. It's probably the most vicious vortex in the game.
I think I can translate, I read derp. "Your is dope bro. I'm an Akuma fan and I'm recently playing with him. Now I'm playing with your tactics and I'm winning so thanks for this vid."
It's a little hard to explain, but I'll try! What I do is press H.K. then a slight slight pause then press M.K. and H.K. at the same time or any two combination of Kick buttons that is easiest for you on the controller. It's almost like a roll of the fingers or a double tap with a minimal pause in between. You'll get the timing with just a little practice. Let me know if it helps! :)
@cyborgLIS I read it on Shoryuken com and other websites, and yes my neighbour has a Xbox and I have a PS3, you can notice the differences between the input delays.
@Matsute He doesn't want to play the SSF4 Akuma because he is afraid it will mess up his SF4 Akuma because of the differences between the two. So he is playing Ibuki and Dhalsim in SSF4 till SBO.
@Tungchu92 its apart of his demon flip options.. to demon flip you input forward, down, forward, plus a kick button..(shoryuken motion with kicks..) while akuma is in the air... if you press any punch he will demon plam, if you press any kick he will dive kick... and if you press throw he will throw the opponent.. (it cant be techd)
@iBringHurTz It's a untechable knockdown, its basically cr hk around the same timing as you would pull off the DP, theres not too much of a window to do it and sometimes tokido does miss it. If you have turbo set it on HK and just hold it after a light tatsu to get a feel for the timing of it.
@jvkenshin416 That is the normal forward jump dive kick. You can tell the difference by the sound of demon flip kick and the normal dive kick make when they connect. Demon Flip Dive Kick sounds like you got hit by a heavy attack and the normal dive kick sounds like you get hit by medium attacks.
@Nalkjn2 i dont know the exact name of the move but its a cross up. theyre not sure whether they have to block their front side or back side or whether he's even going to throw them. it is blockable but its like a guessing game to determine where.
Is he demon flipping and doing the dive kick during those vortex when the opponent is getting up or is he just doing the normal jump forward to dive kick version? for example in 7:53 - 7:55 of the last match with the Sagat match,did he do a command demon flip or just a jumping forward to dive kick? I can't seem to tell the difference.
@Skullomonkey With sweep, you add more stun to the combo, and the vortex can go on. Thats why sweep > shoryu after the light tatsu. But It can't be done with every caracter (I think it's impossible with rufus..) Also, the timing is pretty strict, u'll have to plink the sweep..
@FalconBoxe we all know that akuma ( gouki) isn't an impossible caracter to play with , but to master akuma is another story buddy , what do you think ?
@EnvitoScotsman ... ha ha, if you're an akuma mainer, this vid isn't boring, it's pretty helpful to helping your vortex game...and besides, i didn't title it "tokido's best comebacks" just a best of vid, and what tokido is best at, is the vortex game. :-)
Hey shinakuma, you play xbox or ps3? also do you play street fighter 3rd strike? I feel as though akuma went a bit clunky and downhill from 4 and up.... whats your opinion?
" No super fancy transitions, no music, no special effects...Just the goods. :-) " Translation: I couldn't be bothered editing... Just Kidding Shin, we love your videos! thanks for making work tolerable!
He's saying that Akuma's cross-ups would still work against the parry mechanic, since the victim would still have to guess which way to parry. Also I'm sure Tokido would mix up his play style if parry was in this game...
COULD YOU PLEASE MAKE A BEST OF SAKO (Ibuki video) ? There is already a video but its old and shows also other characters.. the vid is 24min long.. but lastly he is into beast mode and making awesome combos so please if possible and you find the time make one,Thanks for your upload im subs on another acc ;)
@0ShinAkuma0 i know tokido does a hell of a job of working akuma's vortex but wouldn't random online scrubs just mash out when akuma jumps in?? im just starting to get the hang of akuma and i dont attempt any of akuma's vortex options on random mashers
Hey shin, just wondering, how do you find every single tokido replay? Is he on XBL or PSN? So basically everyday you search for his gamertag? Or what kinda thing do you do to track him and save replay? :S
It's interesting to watch his knowledge of stun. The first two round were as good as you can possibly play with Akuma, maximized every stun combo, read the jump back, the wake-up hurricane kick. It's not a brainless, online autopilot. It's a well-oiled tank on autopilot.
@aglive07 "Horrible" is terribly exaggarated, I live in europe and I never have lag problems. The difference is that the 360 has a 4 seconds input delay and the PS3 has a 5 seconds input delay so a 360 player has problems with the PS3. Note: The Arcade Edition has 5 seconds input delay aswell.
@QwietStorm No, not yet, I have thought of doing a Best of video for lsy9983, but i'm just not sure if Bison gameplay really makes for a good highlight video, ha ha, but if I do make one, i'll make it for lsy9983 or a compilation of Bison players like you said, Kim1234, AOI MOMO, HARITSUKA AN, lsy9983, FunkySinger, etc.
@UCantCena i have no idea why you would want to do a demon flip to a shoryuken anyway to it you have to ex demon flip then do the palm just before you hit the ground to cancel it then shoryuken
In many ways in SF6 it still is. It’s a bit more manageable because now everyone has a wake-up option with Drive Reversal but it doesn’t make it any less dangerous.
man, that's really epic! the best akuma fights (and victories for that matter) i've ever seen so far. is it possible to pull off those moves/combos using the keyboard? i only own the pc version. i'm not much of a gamer myself but after seeing this makes me wanna learn too. Good gamin', everyone!
you can crouch block all akumas move after the demon flip so you can just block everything he does and the air grab whiffs on crouching opponents which is why he does regular jump in's with d+mk which looks like the demon flip kick so that's the only thing you have to look out for and block high everything else just block low
okay noob question please, why is it that tokido is doing a crouching high kick instead of finishing it with a heavy shoryuken? after the low tatsu that is?
Gouki may have a grand old time putting his godlike pressure, he's also real fragile and when you make a wrong guess, you're sure to pay dearly for it. When you make two, at this level, well... that gives us this.
@femtau so he can set up his mix up game. srk>redball doesn't do much damage plus the opponent has a better chance of getting back up cause it creates more space. also he likes to save meter for standing fierce>fireball>fadc> standing light tatsu sweep/srk for max dmg.
@hohihaho Because most players dont know what is coming. Take that first sagat for example, he tried to uppercut tokidos jump in and it completely whiffed. The most subtle aspect of Tokido's vortex is the impeccable zoning he uses on his opponents. So you they could AA and risk the chance of missing and then take a punish that consumes 1/2-1/3 of their health or just block and take their chances so they can maybe stop the vortex.
What is that move called when the opponent is on the ground and about to stand up, tokido always jumps over them and hits them and they don't block it. what is it called and why can't they block it?
@HakaizeXLilith ... what do you mean? upload it as your own video, or will it be my video on nico nico?? i mean, i don't mind, but i put a lot of time into this one...so go ahead, but please put the link to my channel or the link to this video.
Uh, what? Elaborate? To do that, they'd have to either make the ambiguous overheads more obvious, or limit mobility, both of which would make drastic (and unwelcome) changes to gameplay.
![The Best of ACE・EIRIN [Guile] - SSF4 & AE Ver.2012](/img/n.gif)
I love how Tokido's 'home' is Snowy Rail Yard, Kiryu Tsukimiya's 'home' is Old Temple, and Bullcat's 'home' is Solar Eclipse. They start to bring some more personality to the game in my opinion.
What about Infiltration, P. champ, Daigo, and J. Wong?
Brendan mine is the construction
I rmbr alot of these from watching full matches of Tokido last year, great video!
This video shows how much the game has evolved over the past few years. The amount of demon flips that went unpunished in this video blew my mind.
Great video though, gotta love Tokido's Akuma.
I wouldn't say unpunished, more like, unchecked. It's not like demon flip has negative frames, unless of course some idiot uses the default sweep from it.
he's the one who inspired me to make my akuma better. its not easy to keep up that pace and execution. great video thanks for making it. its like a nice quick reference guide for keeping up the vortex.
Tokido is just crazy. He's reeeeaaally creative pulling off so much stuff
Great video! I really enjoyed watching this.
his combos have such a spectacular flow. most of his kills end with tatsumaki into ex shoryuken. that was some amazing gameplay.
Thank you for this. Just an excellent displaying showing what can be done if you master Akuma's vortex game.
I gladly relinquish 8 minutes out of every day of my life to come here and watch this! xD
Such godliness!
Good editing skills Shin, I liked the sliding.
Watching Akuma bodying ppl is one of the most satisfying things ever
great video and thanks you for putting in all the work to make this! I'm sure it took a while. It is much appreciated and keep um coming
Needs more Raging Demon.
+Warlord SteelShroom Right, when opponent got stun and low health he can ez ultimate kill. I guess he save up for another situation
Quang Tran you an absolute shit akuma this fool is trash watch the video again and these guys are also trash most just stand instead of blocking or anything
+Hugo
Want some pepper with your salt?
Haha, seriously though, Tokido would fuck you up.
More compilations of top-players pls :D
And also,im really grateful for all your effort and uploads!
For me as an oldschool q3 player and a ssf4 noob this is so great ,thx again :D

If i was battling Tokido the last place i want to be is on the ground. I dont think i'd be able to get back up. I love his mix up game, even the great players struggle to guess right. Great compilation vid!!
Well as far as I know, they have played 2 sets...Pikachuakuma won the 1st and Tokido won the 2nd
Asians make this game super fun to watch
They made this game :)
@@TheGustavoAmerico :)

great compilation ! :D

tokido needs to upload replays to renew my faith in you the latest ones i saw were ones of him getting his ass kicked

best 8 mins of my life, thanks man
This channel is what got me into Street Fighter 4.
Is it just me or does the gameplay seem a lot faster when you rewatch videos compared to when you actually play the game?
Is he demon flipping and doing the dive kick during those vortex when the opponent is getting up or is he just doing the normal jump forward to dive kick version? for example in 7:53 - 7:55 of the last match with the Sagat match,did he do a command demon flip or just a jumping forward to dive kick?

But It can't be done with every caracter (I think it's impossible with rufus..)
Also, the timing is pretty strict, u'll have to plink the sweep..
@F1zZy I would think the damage may be negligible since the sweep is "safer". Less chance of enemy counters so it's almost a sure thing.
@FalconBoxe we all know that akuma ( gouki) isn't an impossible caracter to play with , but to master akuma is another story buddy , what do you think ?
I never did, you have reading problems?
@Matsute
He hasn't been playing Akuma because he is playing Akuma at SBO and they are using the old SF4 arcade machines.
Nice compilation man!
@EnvitoScotsman ... ha ha, if you're an akuma mainer, this vid isn't boring, it's pretty helpful to helping your vortex game...and besides, i didn't title it "tokido's best comebacks" just a best of vid, and what tokido is best at, is the vortex game. :-)
@LoyalSol Huh? That doesn't make much sense to me.
Unless you mean that he restricted himself to ONLY SFIV until SBO, and hasn't played SSFIV.
His cancel on that fireball is so quick you can barely notice it...Wow..
@TheTraveler12 You can still do a sweep after light hurricane kick with Akuma, and I don't see how it's broken at all...
dude. he's so mad for loosing at the end of that game, that he's never playing him again
Your channel is awesome.
Subscribed on the spot!
Hes playing is so smooth
It is pleasure to see him fighting
Name one time tokido has had more than half his health taken.
Hey shinakuma, you play xbox or ps3? also do you play street fighter 3rd strike?
I feel as though akuma went a bit clunky and downhill from 4 and up....
whats your opinion?
where did you get all these clips from? and are they playing on 360? is this from a tournament?
" No super fancy transitions, no music, no special effects...Just the goods. :-) "

Truly inspirational and shinakuma204 was my favorite originally, but I realized how skilled Tokido really was once again.
@jvkenshin416
you can hear a "heyymmppff" before the demon flip
normal forwardjump - divekick doesnt make a sound
COULD YOU PLEASE MAKE A BEST OF SAKO (Ibuki video) ?

@Timbaland101 how many battles have he play and result these 14 perfect clips
@ClickForOutkast Interesting, thanks for that info. Is this documented somewhere or did you test yourself?
@QwietStorm No, not yet, I have thought of doing a Best of video for lsy9983, but i'm just not sure if Bison gameplay really makes for a good highlight video, ha ha, but if I do make one, i'll make it for lsy9983 or a compilation of Bison players like you said, Kim1234, AOI MOMO, HARITSUKA AN, lsy9983, FunkySinger, etc.

I just realized how dangerous and overpowered Gouki's vortex was.
In many ways in SF6 it still is. It’s a bit more manageable because now everyone has a wake-up option with Drive Reversal but it doesn’t make it any less dangerous.
Tokidos vortex is unreal. He crosses up with the demon flip kick so well, no one can block that unless they know for certain its coming.
man, that's really epic! the best akuma fights (and victories for that matter) i've ever seen so far. is it possible to pull off those moves/combos using the keyboard? i only own the pc version. i'm not much of a gamer myself but after seeing this makes me wanna learn too. Good gamin', everyone!
Tokido is one of the 5 persons in Japan that own a xbox 360? I would have thought they would be using a PS3 version instead. .
A truly awesome spectacle of Akumadom! But..............why no Raging Demon?!?!?!?!
you can crouch block all akumas move after the demon flip so you can just block everything he does and the air grab whiffs on crouching opponents which is why he does regular jump in's with d+mk which looks like the demon flip kick so that's the only thing you have to look out for and block high everything else just block low
You should do one for Uryo as well that would be awesome .... but this was amazing cheers !
okay noob question please, why is it that tokido is doing a crouching high kick instead of finishing it with a heavy shoryuken? after the low tatsu that is?
Gouki may have a grand old time putting his godlike pressure, he's also real fragile and when you make a wrong guess, you're sure to pay dearly for it. When you make two, at this level, well... that gives us this.

Amazing. Thank you
@femtau so he can set up his mix up game. srk>redball doesn't do much damage plus the opponent has a better chance of getting back up cause it creates more space. also he likes to save meter for standing fierce>fireball>fadc> standing light tatsu sweep/srk for max dmg.

what is it called and why can't they block it?
Years after.. i see so many people that have never passed the 4k PP+ online...
The freakin last fight + the BGM during that fight was freakin astonishing.
@HakaizeXLilith ... what do you mean? upload it as your own video, or will it be my video on nico nico?? i mean, i don't mind, but i put a lot of time into this one...so go ahead, but please put the link to my channel or the link to this video.
Uh, what? Elaborate? To do that, they'd have to either make the ambiguous overheads more obvious, or limit mobility, both of which would make drastic (and unwelcome) changes to gameplay.
thanks man. yup, i guess so. you just have to get the hang of it. but how do you pull off the low tatsu to down high kick? i can't seem to link them.
A best of Tokido series and not a single Raging Demon.
@LilNaishieez Tokido and DSP are gonna play SSF4 or SF2??
Why do light tatsu > sweep over light tatsu > dp? Is it because you have more time to setup after a sweep?
@Redemptionmusicz ... Lol, yup. i've saved tokido's replays since i started watching them on the replay channel when ssf4 was but a month old. ;-)
How does Tokido to connect the strong kick after de low shoryuken? 0:14
Yo was tokido at evo? If not then he needs to show up next year, I would pay to see him, momochi and daigo throw down.
Why would that Sagat at the end not have gone for a chip tiger shot after that last throw?
