Akuma Oki Guide & Meaty Setups - Street Fighter 6

[@jeako777]

Correction: If you have a +5 KD advantage and you don't delay your demon by at least 1 frame, the opponent WILL be able to jump after the screen freeze. Massive apologies for this misinformation!!

I can't crouch medium to crouch heavy. Does it only work on counter

[@jeako777]

@@TheLostDude7 On regular hit, this combo will only work if you hit crouch medium meaty. This only works if you have a +7 knockdown advantage. You can see setups for that situation in this video

[@jeffrio]

why is this?

[@mikadube266]

@@jeffrio Crouching medium punch has 3 active frames and is +6 on hit (when hit by the first active frame). To get a combo into crouching heavy punch which has an 8 frame startup you need a move that is +8 on hit. Fortunately, hitting a meaty crouching medium punch (meaning later than the first active frame) can get you up to an additionnal +2 on hit. So, using one of the setups for meaty crouching medium punch shown in this video it is possible to get +8 on hit when using crouching medium punch, letting you combo into crouching heavy punch!

It's insane that you put this out literally right as I'm thinking to myself "damn, I should make an effort to learn akuma"

[@SEVIIN_PRIME]

Same! I just hit diamond and I’m like I love this character since SF4. Should I try and learn so I can get master and potentially legend? Now I’m am definitely going for it. So Thank you for the video ❤

This video was sent from heavens so everyone can embrace the sorrow and become the demon, thank you for the guide! Excelent content.

Thank you!

God send, this is the stuff i did not grasp and could not find.

[@shaunmcisaac782]

Usually when you see an opponent wiff a throw against your wakeup in the corner, you think "OH, input error" and go to punish. Instead Akuma is still very much plus here and sticking out a "punish" is likely to get you lit up. Akuma, if he has a full tank of gas, does 10,000 in two touches. So you don't have to "right" very often with your shimmy to get a big reward. But you do have to put in the work and understand the situations like the above.

[@jamerthegamer13]

holy shit this is by far the best akuma guide I've seen thank you! How do you learn this on your own? I would love to do some testing myself for terry and bison

[@jeako777]

Thanks for the kind words! I went over the most important combos on the internet, that I could find, so that I knew which knockdowns are gonna be common. I thought about which meaties would be the most valuable for Akuma and then just needed to link the knockdowns and the meaties together. I wrote a little bit of code for myself, that gives me a list frame kills for any knockdown frame advantage I want. That's what allowed me to find these frame kills so quickly.

[@jamerthegamer13]

@@jeako777 ah okay so test the bnbs in sf6 to see frame advantage on knockdown, then use frame data to make frame kills? I'll give that a shot ty!

[@Timchan76]

Damn man. You need a spreadsheet to keep track of this stuff. Solid work

[@revodee4982]

Thanks for the guide man, I've been using it to supplement my Akuma labbing a bit. At around 00:59 in the video, it shows you feinting the Demon Raid so you're +2, but when I try to replicate it, I end up side-switching but still +2. Is there something I'm missing here so I don't side-switch? To be clear, my problem isn't about the advantage but rather my positioning, sorry I suck at explaining things lol *Edit #2: Never mind I found the setting under the Dummy tab, thanks anyways for the vid!

@@jeako777 Don’t worry! You did (and do) a great job. Our approach is different enough that I’ll probably still look into it and put out an oki guide anyway. Keep up the good work.

Haha still waiting for your gudie too Zach.

[@LaCoseGuitarra]

This is art. OMG

[@keronstewart9446]

the problem is that the recent nerfs will make most of the tips in this video useless. and from my testing, it appears they did a stealth nerf to raging demon

[@jeako777]

They don't make most tips useless. The only thing that is affected is shimmying, you need to be more plus now if you want to shimmy.

[@sergiok6660]

When will i use the back heavy kick? It's not meaty cause of the startup so what option am i lookong to beat with it? It seems like a fun tool but I'm unsure where to use it

[@jeako777]

I mean I showed multiple knockdowns where it does hit meaty. Anytime you're +8 or higher, it will hit fast enough

[@parchemiarz]

1:07 - it won't connect tatsu after 2LK, 2LP, what might I be doing wrong

[@jeako777]

Is the enemy crouching? L tatsu whiffs on crouchers

[@parchemiarz]

@@jeako777 oh yeah I set them to mash crouch jab on wake up to test this meaty setup I'm such a dumbass hahaha thank you that was it, might have to drive rush to force standing, or just fireball at the end

​@jeako777 bro I have a question for you that exact situation you just spoke of I hit them with the light adamant they are usually Spaced really close to me and blocking I know I'm very plus but whatshould. I do in that situation I always end up doing something unsafe if I'm lucky ill slide a cr.mk dr combo in there if they not Crouch blocking any suggestions

[@jeako777]

@@codybrown5229 I haven't used it enough to give a good answer, but so far I just do: - tiny forward walk into throw if I know they're gonna crouch block (you can't even see the forward walk) - shimmy if I think they're gonna tech - crLP, stLK if I know they're gonna press buttons or jump/backdash - cr.MK xx drive rush / fireball if I know they're gonna walk back

[@vrennonica5725]

Is +4 on double dash forward oki after light tatsu sweep really able to shimmy immediate throw with back walk? Or is this only if the opponent is delay teching?

[@jeako777]

Yeah I should've clarified, thanks for asking. It's only for delay tech.

[@cozyboi925]

Any google docs on this?

[@PyroInferno110]

What's the benefit of doing b HK into fireball on oki besides it beating people that mash on wake up? If they block this, I'm -4 with a little pushback. I can possibly get hit by a cr MK if the characters cr MK can reach me. Great video btw, i didnt think to do some of this stuff on oki

[@jeako777]

Midscreen you should only do b HK if you have a good read on them not blocking. b HK midscreen gives you a great combo for corner carry. And in the corner, OD fb is a nice way to continue pressure after b HK.

Cool video 🙂 our former guy kinda cooked huh? I moved to Ryu personally haha

[@jeako777]

I think Luke is still chilling, but not sure. Ryu is looking really strong this season, have fun with him!

[@saado99]

@@jeako777 personally, I'm also not very sure, I think he's still decent but I think the character actually has numerous bad matchups now. Some of the changes are kind of worthless like the tackle being + meaty, and the DDT buff not only does the move do basically no corner carry and kind of a crappy oki situation, and expensive, but sometimes when you hit extended huttboxes with OD knuckle the move straight up misses. I do think he's still decent and viable but there's a good chance the character will slowly fizzle away as the season progresses and people will let him go once they realize how underwhelming he is and overwhelming some of the others are. But I also of course understand the nerfs he was simply too good.

[@NEWGREATNESS]

What are the purpose of frame kills?

[@jeako777]

4:04 I thought this explanation was good enough but here's another one from the fighting game glossary: Whiffing attacks on purpose in order to very specifically time another attack. Let's say that, after you've knocked down your opponent, you want to try to perform a safe jump. But if you were to jump immediately, you'd be too early and your opponent would still be knocked down. After a bit of clever math and the help of some frame data, you realize you need to wait for 17 frames before jumping, and then the timing will be perfect. One option is to just try and get a sense for what 17 frames "feels like" and time it manually, but this is pretty difficult so people quickly tried to find something more reliable. For example, if you know that one of your moves takes exactly 17 frames to execute from start to finish, this is way better - simply whiff that move and you'll have "killed" those 17 frames perfectly with no need for guesswork or eyeballing anything. If you see people whiffing moves nonsensically when their opponent is knocked down, they're almost certainly setting up the timing for a future attack. It's closely linked with the concept of an attack being autotimed.

[@NEWGREATNESS]

[@lastpointabsolute7468]

crouching defense invalid all your setup sorry akuma is mied tier and a gift and easy 4 grapplers stop dreaming!!

[@Just_Kenny92]

Forced to stand by getting hit by Mk or C.Hp, so the crouch defense doesn't really invalid anything if you're getting hit by those two moves either as a combo starter or within a combo. Please sit there a crouch all day so Akuma can hit you with the high/low or shimmy mix-up.

[@neves2493]

@lastpointabsolute7468 Interessing! Hello friend, please, who are the 6 strongest characters??? Please BE SINCERE

[@mikey22355]

You can OD Adamant flame for big damage on crouchers, he’s just hard to play because you need to choose between forcing standing or max damage if they are standing. This is very helpful stuff, going to learn this for my most common knockdowns

[@perdify]

Nah just use visual ques , no one gonna remember all these timings

[@jeako777]

You don‘t have to remember ALL of them. This is just a compilation of different setups. You can pick and choose which ones you want to remember.

[@runnergunner42]

You don’t need to know all of them lol. Just pick a couple that suit your choice of combo routes

[@temilitary]

If you go with visual cues, you'll miss the timings A LOT. Just learn one or two for moves you use a lot and run with it.

[@XCT82]

delete this... lol

[@shirishvogga6046]

Almost all of this can be dped

[@OmnipotentO]

Of course everything has an answer in SF. That's not the point. These are mix up situations generally in your favor. The more of these you know, the more you make them guess and improve your chances. You want to put them in as many guessing situations as possible.
