So Akuma Might Be Top Tier...

[@fa-lg7lm]

1:52 so satisfying to watch

Ryu is better cause I like him more

[@planexshifter]

Sound logic. Bring back Laura!

[@chocokarina]

so lame

Just because the music of castlevania simphony of the night it deserves de like and subscribe , great video broo

[@Jardonius]

These are my political views as well~ I hear the Castle, I press the like.

[@mattmalco10]

Akuma is undoubtedly top tier the question is whether or not he is top 1 in the game

[@ThePersonWhoAsked69420]

He’s strong af his only flaw is health

[@yeyeande]

he's arguably top 1, definitely top 3

[@zerevity007]

@@ThePersonWhoAsked69420he also lacks good sideswitches plus his corner carry isn't that crazy. not top 1 but i'd say top 5

[@hotdog5927]

definitely not top 1 u smoking that goodshit

[@yeyeande]

@@zerevity007 who cares about side switches, something so niche only a few characters even have and actually use effectively. that's such a cope out. every character has back throw and walking forward over jump-ins, that's more than enough. akuma has the best tick throws in the game as well so a backthrow into corner is trivial. and saying his corner carry isn't crazy when he has several moves that sticky you to the wall is insane.

[@michaelguse2237]

I dont even know the setups with akuma and crushing players with footsies and fundamentals so in the hands if a great player it's amazing.

[@ProfKisuto]

Might be top tier....yes water is wet. The lower health is such a non-issue.

[@socialcameleon6956]

It's definitely a non-issue for like, ranked. But in a tournament setting a lotta people might not pick the character who drops out from a couple bad guesses

[@scuppo]

​@@socialcameleon6956 he always had low health. That didn't stop Tokido or takamura. Even when Capcom nerfed him to death

[@socialcameleon6956]

​@@scuppoIn ranked you need to win more than you lose. In tournament you need to NEVER lose at all. Top players can definitely keep doing that with Akumas great kit and damage, im just saying it's not a non-issue when it comes to consistency. And they're fighting other top players too, not randos

[@xXHardRushXx]

@@scuppo tokido dropped akuma for ken fyi

[@ProfKisuto]

@@xXHardRushXx since when??

[@tavinwallack24]

Akuma to me is easily the best character now. For top players his utility I'm sure makes adjusting super easy. Just look at that delayed five kick on Kim

[@CrazyLikeChris]

At the end with the zangief. Would have regulat CA have killed instead of raging demon?

[@DQuertyLoL]

After testing, ending that combo with heavy Adamant Flame > CA does 18 more damage than light Adamant Flame > Raging Demon. So mid screen the CA route would be optimal, but not enough to kill. I don't know if you can get more damage mid screen from whiff punish PC 5.hp. Ending with light tatsu , lp.dp > CA would've done 55 damage less than the Adamant Flame route.

[@CrazyLikeChris]

@DQuertyLoL I'd love to have a friend like you. Thanks man! I hope you have a wonderful life

[@yeyeande]

that definitely kills every other character that's not zangief

[@ghiidra__]

9:23 what a furtive sheesh

[@campbelljohnson4]

His Heavy Punch is almost as long as ryu’s, is 1 frame faster and he has the fastest walk speed in the game 💀

[@bloodmoon920]

The best description I’ve heard of Akuma was from Broski and it’s 💯 on point.

[@neves2493]

True tier list before the nerf: true level layer? S Tier 1. Ken 2. Luke 3. Dee Jay A Tier 4. JP 5. Blanka True?

[@michaelguse2237]

You guys believe tokido when he plans to use ken over akuma?

[@katalysis]

Doesn’t Nephew’s uncle also play Akuma?

[@Ayenooo]

Does that last combo do more damage with raging demon compared to level 3 CA?

[@ryo-kai8587]

Raw Demon deals slightly more damage than CA-however, in another comment, @DQuertyLoL just verified that a combo ending in H Adamant Flame > CA was 18 damage stronger than L Adamant Flame > Raging Demon

[@tc3969]

Akuma? Top tier? In a Street Fighter game? What a surprise. I'm shocked.

[@RaijinRift]

ay ludi made it in the vid

[@wulongchai]

waiting for Nephew to try Aki to see if Aki is also top tier in second season or not

[@snap_drama346]

Just sub to broski lol

Watch Broski. Aki is a specialist character

[@jota7000]

Akuma has far too quick a recovery time on the vast majority of his attacks. It's kind of obscene. In the hands of a skillful, aggressive player, he is damn near OP.

[@sp0pie928]

Going back to Ken is hella boring after playing Akuma for 2 weeks.

[@JG-hj4nx]

Because Ken wasn't easy enough apparently

[@tegrity]

What’s up with that 4hk never hitting on anti air. Whole half of all his cool combos become useless the 4hk can’t hit

Gonna check it out when I get a chance but st lp xx bk hk xx ex fireball thats plus

[@Shuja_R1M]

Wait til you play bipson

[@JohnEastmanExAttyAtLaw]

It is silly to think characters like Akuma and Bison are OP when they were once Boss characters. If Sagat comes he will be top-tier as well. Expectantly so.

[@hhrriisstt9367]

In SF you win by hitting the opponent first and/or guard their attacks in that priority. You do not win by face tanking hits with your HP pool. Akuma is strong and his weakness can be worked around with the right decisions. Weaker characters can't work around shit buttons and options. This is not a reaction to the vid, just calling out the people who say hp pool = balanced.

[@Agent101g]

A character who has to win one more interaction than his opponent will statistically win less often if that’s the only variable considered, I don’t know what else to tell you

[@solaireofastora6173]

@@Agent101g12:00 he survived that tho

[@quick2mack74]

Akuma is a corny ass easy mode character. Sad to see so many people flock to him. People don’t wanna work for their wins, they just wanna have that good feeling of “winning” the easiest way possible.

[@gavinriley182]

I think Akuma is a fun play, but not top tier, nor is he scary to fight against. Here me out. Because of the denfesive mechanics in SF6 he is relatively easy to counter. All his tools for pressure can be drive impacted or jabbed, so really what does he have to keep opponents afraid. When ypu fight a Marissa, Ken, Zangief, hell even Honda, there is a respect for each character. Akuma in this SF just doesnt have that respect. Very fun play though 😅.

[@doorknobs4484]

you can dp, jab and di out of kens pressure too…. akumas offense is just not as strong as those characters, and thats okay. hes got everything and more

[@maga451]

Can't be top tier cos of low health
