how to fight Akuma with ryu?

[幼稚园咯～]

Akuma is combo sick. He able to lick with attack and deal combo. His crouch HP will not counter by shoyuken. I find that shoyuken has been nerfed. it come out slow.

Wakeup DP's were nerfed...that Hp will stuff it now.

But basically you wanna get a crush counter or a jump in (or neutral jump) combo.

Otherwise try to get him with your Mp, Mp, Hadoken or cr. Mk tatsu.

Basically just try to get bites into combos.

And don't let your get hit by his st. Mk.

And get a good roll of the dice too.

I'm trying to learn/main Akuma right now and holy hell is it a chore. You must be encountering people with a ♥♥♥♥-ton of either A) general fighting game experience and can learn characters very quickly or 2) have relatively high aptitude/talent level and can learn new caracters easily in spite of being new to the game. I can barely get any of his basic level combos out.

Yeah you got some real combo-meisters out there.

His typical combo flows from his st. Mk and it is a juggling combo as you tatsu and DP though you have to use a particular DP with a particular tatsu.

I've sometimes messed them up because I go too fast because I worry about the time window being too thing (especially when I spot lag in the match).
Or over committed to the combo too, when I didn't have the bite.

Unless you can get his Mk to connect raw or out of some mixing up of things...then you gotta rely on crush counters or jumps I suppose.

It's satisfying when you do his combos but annoying when you mess them up. ;)

basically akuma is a ridiculously strong character right now. Hes too fast to time anything out and he does so much damage that you cant play a mid to low health character if u want to stand a chance.

right now, anyone can mash out with akuma and get at least gold

it just to describe he able to link combo a lot of way with normal attack which is painful to fight him.

Of course I understand. The way you're talking just sounds like it.

That's not fair to expect 100% of people to write perfect english considering it's only 3rd most spoken language with Chinese being 1st.

Point is, english is not everyone's first language. So how good is your Chinese?

[Coil]

Yeah, what's up with bullying people that can't type perfect English? Most of the words in our language are useless. When you take out all of the useless words, it sounds just like this dude. That's why most people who learn English as a second language type this way. Because they are leaving out all of the useless words (likely not on purpose).

Anyway, to make my post on-topic.. There are way too many Akuma fighters in the silver to platinum range. Literally every 3 characters I fight is Akuma ..or Zangief.

Akuma has a lot of options when it comes to attacks. You can't reliably anti-air him because he can air-fireball whenever he likes. And his meaty is ridiculous.

Its a banter bro. If you cant handle banter, dont use internet.

EX sure you can.

Sometimes also Ryu's V-Skill counter works, if Akuma does not use EX air fireballs or V-Trigger.

Of course you need to read the opponents patterns. The main problem in SFV is that many moves are positive on block, or simply push you out of punishment range on block, which turns into a very aggressive offensive, momentum based gameplay, especially Akumas c.HP should not be that way, because it has a crush counter property.
