Sick of fighting ED

[sg1darkcalling]

90% of the time i play the game its an ED ... i'm so sick of it.. i'm quiting the game until that changes

[aRkedos]

But do not quit until Akuma :D

Oh God, if people complain about Ed then I don't know what they're gonna say about the absolute mayhem that Akuma can dish out.

Here's a single sentence that has never been said in the entire history of fighting games: "Akuma is a completely balanced and fair fighter"

You gonna be gone even longer when Akuma hits.

Akuma is a balanced character, this Capcom can not balance others normally

Right, so Akuma is actually balanced out nicely but other characters are under-buffed... 🤣🤣

The thing about Akuma is that he cannot be really balanced, unless you remove so many of his moves that he becomes a barebone Shoto. Akuma was designed as a final boss character and his moves are the living testament to that, like his get-out-of-corner free card or his aerial and combo capabilities.

They usually try to make Akuma fair towards other characters by reducing his health (I guess he will have around 8,5k - 9,5k hitpoints in this game, definitely not 10k) and he lacks the EX moves, which for Akuma doesn't really matter, as long as Akuma has the Akuma moveset, he is unbeatable in the right hands and there's no way to actually balance him out, the stripped down version of Akuma in T7 was actually the living testament of that.

I mean he got nerfed enough in SFV that he’d probably be considered balanced in that game. Wasn’t even the best shoto by the last season with Luke and Ken being better picks

Yeah, that's in every game in the franchise. Akuma starts OP and by continuous nerfs becomes just a decent character

I have now played more Eds than any other single character. Akuma will be better, but less annoying (and probably less popular).

Less popular? Most shoto players will briefly switch to Akuma (and a lot of Akuma players will stop playing other shotos), you will see far more Akumas than Ryus and Kens combined 😁

I mean the only other SF game where he wasn’t at least top tier by the end was 3S
