How to beat Heihachi with Akuma?

[Noobc0re]

Half the time he's invulnerable and the other half he's doing unblockable attacks.

Also, does anyone else hate Akuma? His movelist is ♥♥♥♥!

Spamming down+RK seems to work pretty well!

I'm on that bit now and it's safe to say i hate this guy. I'm not a fan of Street Fighter but it appears he plays like he would in those games, which if so, is very offputting.

heihachi vs akuma is infuriating, however, the special chapter is 10x worse, i had to drop the dificulty to the lowest setting and still got my ass kicked thanks to this BS AI behaviour.

Akuma was very weird to understand, you need to chain seperate abilities together to make a combo instead of button mashing a combo.
Akuma players can either be very good or very bad.

I take it you enjoyed that fireball spam and block breaking punch combo?

it's one of the only things the bastard even used, other then that he'd just phase through my every move and counter at every exact second, even at the lowest dificulty

also, is it normal that the special chapter ends so stupidly abruptly? it's not even like it has a point besides making people rage hard.

He will spam armored rage drives the entire time. When you see him about to do the sequence just block the uppercut by standing and then punish it with anything (d+1, tatsu, DP for instance).

And beware because the last couple fights as Heihachi are even more dumb...

Old thread but IDGAF. Every thread I look at about the Akuma vs Heihachi fight devolves in people who just complain about the later harder levels and talk about that and what to do. FFS. No one gives a ♥♥♥♥ about the other levels till we get there and we don't care how Akuma was in SF
