Forward dash.

Dash past Akuma/the fireball. Tag him with an anti-air afterwards if you're feeling frisky.

ty it seems dashing is the best. can go for full punish

[Gaxkang]

You can back dash away from it too.

One thing I've also done at times is stay put and block the fireball, and since they usually try to walk in under fireball cover to throw, I interrupt them with a jab. Which oddly seems to work better than times I've seen people walk in for a throw without a fireball cover (lag maybe).

if your in good range, you can neutral jump too, sometimes you can just use air to air attack, sometimes you land just perfectly to do full combo

I switched to Ryu from Akuma to give myself a bit of a break. But I've been able to do a forward jump with a tatsu immediately after starting the jump. It keeps me floating for like a split second right as Akuma releases his fireball(s). Even though we're both briefly floating, my tatsu manages to hit Akuma and knock him back.

So you're telling you can do nothing if he does it well ? isn't that quite op ?

Obviously all Akuma has to do is spam air fireballs to win in this game. Broken, OP character.

Seriously though, have you even watched any good players fight against Akuma? Use CFN.

It takes more skill to counter it than to use it, you shouldn't be caught in that scenario

[JuNiVeRse]

Thank you guys for all the input. heading online with my ryu to act as sandbag. :)))

Much sarcasm, pretty sure you're a good player.

Timing jump crossup

Forward dash

Back

Throw ?

EX DP is difficult because I have slow reaction

[AJH_1992]

block or use dash forward :)
