omfg how is akuma balanced (vs JP)

[imdavidfindley]

I play modern JP at ~1400 mr and akuma's move-set overcomes my moves (like SP1) that I rely on. I didnt make an intensive analysis of it but I quickly and definitely noticed.

or can someone explain how akuma is balanced, exactly? because I don't get it. -10% life doesn't cut bros. maybe -30% life I would say OK

sometimes you just get 9-1 match ups

Are you insane -30% is WAY too much

Also a good Akuma pretty much earned it learning him isn't exactly a piece of cake.

theres no 9-1 match ups in sf6, theres no 8-2's, if you wanted to argue for even a 7-3 the only real candidate is dhalsim gief.

The JP Akuma matchup looks very even probably a 5-5 like nearly every single match up in the game. It should be played something like this

So I checked your set because I was curious. Other than 2 instances of him using air fireball to bait your reversal level 1 spam there was nothing he did that was even akuma specific. it would have been identical with any shoto.

its the same as always, you spam OD specials until you are in burn out, you DI in neutral for no discernible reason frequently, you jump forward and backward often 4+ times in rapid succession, you always choose a risky option on wakeup, and I didnt see you use a single normal button for anything in the entire set. No Pokes, No combos. just specials and supers.

This is not a character matchup issue at all. The matchup wasn't even relevant to that match.

come on what that's what occurred. You have an inaccurate rage thread every week but never seem to learn from them.

Get used to it. SF has always unfair matchups. Gief vs Dhalsim or Gief vs JP.
In previous versions of SF - was Sagat (vs Gief) and it was even more dishonest matchup.

Well everybody might have a hardcounter and so is JP a hardcounter for Guile.

Akuma is the most complicated shoto. Which puts him in the bottom half of complexity.
