[@MrDrumStikz]

Super Akouma's biggest strength of e that he has the execution of a high-level Akuma player. Unfortunately, he has the decision making of a high-level Akuma player.

[@Maz_Dev]

[@ze_kangz932]

Cuddle Cores child-like enthusiasm for her characters is kinda infectious in her postfight interview lol She lowkey might be the most unabashedly "nerdy" female FGC competitor😏 Edit: Just a footnote...the amount of dogpilling on Super Akouma for getting swept while using a character he practiced for like a hour or 2 vs arguably the best Alisa player on the planet is a lil cringe lol. People are really big-mad at him for no other reason than playing a character Harada forced into the game...kinda weird.

Well played from Cuddle Core. But for real people can we relax on the "Lol no Akuma to carry" comments. CC is playing her main for all of T7 and we don't even know if Super Akouma has a main for T8 yet. At least give it a few months before you start screeching about how carried he was in T7...

[@carlyonmcbride1618]

@@44Renegade44 common misconception the controller does not make the player....

[@HumbleHurricane]

​@gwufff As a veteran Tekken Player since Tekken 1 and Veteran SF player since SF 2, you have nothing to say to me that I don't understand better than yourself my guy. Tight execution with Akuma as well as the entire SF cast and their links, fadcs(SF4) etc is MUCH more difficult in its original game than it is in Tekken which is much slower , allows for raging demon to be combo'd into etc which is not possible in SF in history. Me and other serious players execute with Akuma easily just as serious players in Tekken execute with Kazuya, Law, Steve, Bryan etc. Bottom line: "Difficult execution " is a piss poor excuse at the mid to high level of play. All that matters once you have it is how you perform with the character. I play nearly the entire cast in Tekken since T 3 so you trying to flex by playing Kazuya is nothing special to me. Akuma having the advantage of meter AND rage is ridiculous and I'm a SF fanatic. Anyone who denies that is delusional or just a novice. SF players find Akuma WAY easier to use in Tekken than SF itself so kill that noise. Without that 1 hit fadc into kill ability with meter, he's being exposed for not having such a comeback mechanic 💯 period.

[@Section8dc]

I was surprised to see that SA wasnt playing King, AK was his secondary in T7 so I figured that would be the most familiar for him

[@tiraedo-omozuwa3689]

Players like super akuoma are very good, to play akuma is not easy at all, and it takes skill to do some of his ridiculous moves. If you can play akuma then you should not have problems with most tekken characters if you put your mind to it. Super akuoma getting a certain amount of hate is not fair but at the same time he brought it on himself, unlike someone like atiff who can play many characters and has used different characters to win tournaments, super akuoma only demonstrated akuma for almost his entire T7 run. That is why nobody can criticize most pakistani players like Atif, awais and bilal because they have other characters along side akuma so if the win with akuma all we can say is "its akuma" rather than "atiff won with akuma again". Lets give super akuoma time to prove himself i believe he will do well in T8.
