Akuma Demon Armageddon Exhibition

I always love watching Demon Armageddon videos. They never fail to interest me.

I still don’t know why this Ultra is never used. U1 is always picked and most of the time never used, just a waste of Ultra bar. This just proved that U2 has many common hit confirms like from a Divekick of Far Roundhouse… Those moves connect all the time and could be leading to this.

It’s never used because it makes Akuma look like the Tazmanian Devil.

So true. I don’t play Akuma, but I would think that a character of his caliber being able to combo into an ultra would be used by everyone. U1 usually revolves around set ups, but a basic bnb into U2, as this vid proves, seems so much more useful.

It’s because you give up the utility of U1 (Normal cancels) to get an ultra that gets scaled massively.  If U2 isn’t at max power it deals about 250-300 damage that is scaled at an additional 10%.

U2 has some utility is several match ups which makes it favorable, but the ability to combo isn’t always worth giving up the protection U1 provides. U1 gives you the ability to punish focus attacks, anti-air, protect against random ultras, and overall is a better punish tool.

Many of the set ups in here aren’t usable because U2 is rarely at max power and the damage scaling makes it worthless.  If I took at half powered ultra and did c.LK > c.LP > c.MP > U2 the overall damage is 233.  In comparison standard BnB into sweep does 201.  

In general most of the combos that are useful for U2 are the combos which you were already going to do massive damage anyways.  

U2 is still useful, but not always as a combo tool.   I actually find way more use in Option selects than combos.

Lol he played latif

sup Loyal, u right about set ups for U1, but I think is beneficial for one who wants to master Akuma to grid U2 too.So that it is helpful in much ups. Most charger and grappler players I get them a lot with U1, when they jump or use a certain type of special attacks. I found U2 very useful against other shooto players. Both Uz are good too my eyes. And being able to combo into U2 gives you a certain fear factor against other players.

U2 has its uses don’t get me wrong.  I use U2 against Ibuki, Balrog, Honda, Rufus, Viper, Cody, and Yang.   In those match ups it serves multiple uses.  The combo ability is nice, but like I said before you need more than just combos to justify dropping U1.

not to mention it blows up option selects

It blows up OSes, but it doesn’t stop all teleport punishes.  In fact there are a ton of ways to still punish it.  As teleport protection it is average.  

IMO U2 should be used when there is a clear advantage in a match up.  For instance against Ibuki U2 as an OS destroys her wake up.  It also punishes Penguin kicks on block, can be used to punish her reversal easier, and also is useful for punishing predictable Kunai.

Now in that match up though U2 stops her from OSing neckbreaker, but she can still do one late enough that it will punish the teleport anyways.

lol! Viper didnt do anything just that she doesnt GLOW like others (my pc graphic card sucks bad)
