ost_uid6="dominicankid098"]ppl been complainin that akuma is too hard to beat and the recovery time during a fight against akuma...
well heres a strategy i used to beat akuma..
on character selection...let the opponent choose their character first...if they choose AKUMA...you choose cyc|ops.
during a game against AKUMA...u know if he wants to connect his shinkuu hadoken *in air of course*....he must jump and the shinkuu will hit u from an angle.
when ur oponent goes for the shinkuu hadoken *in air*....use Optic Blast: High *which is diagonal*...and akuma's shinkuu will cancel...keep doing Optic Blast: High *diagonal* and u will see his damage go down badly.....i tried it...it works
also if you raise your bar in level 1...u can use his super *Directional Optic Blast* and hit them on an diagonal angle going up...
post if this strategy work....also post any strategies u guys might have[/quote
