I meant, Akuma does NOT have everything. He has a lot of good moves, I admit, and some great combos, but he isn't better than Ken or Ryu. Ken has focused his fighting style on close combat (Shoryuken) and therefore improved it to the maximum extent. His training in thoses areas gave him advanced speed, defence and comboability. Even though he doesn't get a dark/evil side to him, he doesn't need it, and never will. Ryu has all the moves, though, some are raw and less effective than others. He has nice strength, defence, and Vitality, but not the best speed. He also has an evil side. Sakura has completely raw, but VERY effective attacks. Nice comboability, and speed, and great defence, and she has a dark side. Although, I prefer her normal side. Akuma has almost everything put together, except that the attacks have a pure evil power in them. Thusly, his strength is high, and so is his speed. But his Vitality and defence are lower than some, and they lower his standards. Basically, my point is, is that everyone, including Akuma, has their weakpoints. Akuma's actually hurts a lot of "professional" Akuma players. Sakura having no aerial Hypers hurts the players that use her frequently (like me...). Ken having no projectile hypers hurts all Ryu lovers who want to try Ken. Ryu being slower than some, and having massive recovery lag after certain attacks hurts some people horribly. Akuma's lower defence, some of his attack lag (into and out of), and his range hurt him so...
But still, you be the judge of how you use those disadvantages. (.... some people are able to over come pain and anguish, vanquish their faults, and grasp the light of power. Can you do it? Or will you fail like the many others...?) :sleeping:
