Akuma help

[Vale Tudo]

Anyone got any tips on how to land the following two moves with Akuma?

1.) First is hitting the raging demon from a focus attack as shown in the combo movelist, I’m aware of the demon shortcut but I cannot for the life of me hit it in time before the opponent falls to the ground, atleast not with the jab coming out.. doing max FA and then f,f, THEN the full demon input seems impossible.

2.) The second is landing “double flips” in combos. There’s a combo on YouTube where Poongko fights against some dude dressed as Bryan at a recent tournament and it looks like a CD4,3 S! Followed immediately by another CD4,3, but I don’t know if it’s actually CD3,3? I’ve tried for a good while and can’t connect it.

Any tips?

1.) Buffer it.
If you don't know what I mean: Press jab twice very quickly right after the FA connects (the game will still register the inputs), then dash immediately press 2+3

1.) That's the thing, unfortunately. You'll have to input the raging demon manually (not with Rage Art shortcut). It's hard to pull off but it is possible. Your FA has to leave your opponent in CS (crumble stun/state) to perform a successful demon. As soon as I hit the FA, I input a dash and I find a slight delay before it appears on screen (like FADC in USF4). I use that time to input a demon. Try to buffer 3, 2, may help you out.

It isn't my go-to move, but the dmg pays off. The Rage Art shortcut will always have a jab in it.

2.) It is CD4,3, you want to cover as much distance to your opponent during a flip. It's the timing of both demon flips, the first CD4,3 has to lead into tail spin (hit right by the opponent's toes), the second CD4,3 as an extra juggle for jabs and dashes. This combo is as hard as it gets, so practice makes perfect.
