The promised Akuma guide is here! Its now taken the top spot as the longest character guide I have ever made, and all in lovely 4k too! I got something for everyone here, and everything has timestamps so feel free to skip ahead to whatever makes sense for you (LEAVE A LIKE FOR TIMESTAMPS ON AN HOUR AND A HALF VIDEO THANKS). Akuma pretty cool yall and while he obviously has the stated weakness of lower health, I think he more than makes up for it considering his power and variety. So give the vid a watch and let me know what you think! ****EDIT**** In the section showcasing raging demon pressure, its better to go for lights instead of crouch medium kick into DR into demon as it will create true inescapable demon setup post flash. I made a mistake on my initial testing, sorry about that!

IM AKOOMING!

We're getting out of Platinum with this one🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥

you singlehandedly got me into fighting games, thank you

So using the Tekken big guide format for here, felt odd doing combos inside the main video though. I might spin it off for separate combo + guide vid for whatever the next sf6 character guide will be. Felt good for tekken but not used to talking and explaining SF combo structure in a vid, rather just showing it all in one go like ive done in the past. We will see I guess. Anyway Akuma kinda cool, you just do things and it works so here's how to do a lot of different things lol

Insane video. You are the best FG content creator BY FAR. Please, don't ever fall into the trend of just uploading unedited twitch clips. Your content is truly special.

When I was deployed overseas in 2021 I got randomly recommended your videos through the KZfaq algorithm and your format of explaining fighting games literally got me to buy guilty gear and ever since then I’ve been playing fighting games. Thanks for all you do man some of the best gaming content out there ! 💎

Babe wake up, rooflemonger hour-long starter guide just dropped (thank you I've been needing this 🙏🙏🙏)

Youve pumped out a TON of high quality, long form content over such a short span of time. Thank you and I hope you get some rest

WAKE UP BABE, ROOFLEMONGER JUST DROPPED A ONE HOUR AKUMA GUIDE!!

Someone give this guy a huge tip. I'll contribute too

Thank you as a akuma main this makes me happy 🙏🏾🔥✨ you worked so hard this week man

My Main since he appeared in his early days. God was i frustrated that he was the last DLC Character.

This will certainly help the Akuma army

always appreciate your guide videos. I watch a lot of them from different people just so i can get as much info as possible but you are one that i truly pay attention to bc you go so in-depth. Will you possibly make a separate combo video or a dedicated video for Demon flip?

rooflemonger video for a game i don't play, we will be watching

Yes!!! Been waiting on this king to drop this and YOU NEVER DISAPPOINT ROOF! Thanks as always for the hard work and detail you put into these!

Thank you so much for this roof, you are the best teacher there is. Applauses to you man!

Thank Rooflemonger. Your guides always made it easy for me to get better no matter the fighting game! Keep up the solid work. Longtime supporter here.

I really love your guides and the content you make really made it a whole lot easier to enter and enjoy fighting games with SF6 and Tekken 8 being my first. Keep up the good work!

Thanks Rooflemonger, this guide is the best on KZfaq for Akuma IMO, very much appreciated.

Love the content Roofle, I feel my brain growing immensely

Great job! These are the best guides out there! Bar none. Thanks

Hello and Welcome! Finally the Akuma guide i've been looking for. Thank you, thank you.

I’ve been waiting for this!! Thank you

I am silently enjoying your content for years now. You are by far the best fighting game content creator on youtube. One can always see the huge effort you put into your videos. The structure is so well planned, content and edit is top notch, you dont waste time in repeating stuff and you go the extra mile with the timestamps. its just a pleasure to watch! Thanks for doing, what you do. Keep up the good work Roof!

Coming back from sf4, this is an amazing video. Will be watching it over and over again!

By far the best Akuma guide I’ve seen (and I watched a bunch of them), keep it up !

I was listening to the vid last night and I didn't know how long it was. That is an insane amount of effort and I appreciate it.

I don't normally like and comment on videos but it felt like the least I could do, you've put so much effort into this vid. Pretty great stuff, keep up the good work :)

Suggestion: put the combo at the top of the screen instead of the bottom, so the youtube overlay doesn't block it when you pause 😅 Thanks for the guide!

cant wait to dig into this guide and pick it apart while i learn :) thanks for your hard work!

Roof with Akuma guide let’s go

thank you for this guide i was trying to pick him up by myself and he seems incredibly fun to play and learn. 😀😀😀

Excellent work, keep it up man

Amazing guide dude!! Even after watching many other Akuma guides I still learned so much new stuff here👌🦍

This guide is a Masterpiece!!! Thanks Rooflemonger

I like the Tekken format with the Combos and Oki at the end, please keep it like this! Great guide Rooflemonger. FGC content GOAT. Taught me how to play King now were high blue ranks time to get master on Akuma!

rooflemonger makes me love fighting games so much, really good guide ! thank you !

I cant afford the new characters so those breakdowns a really helpful thx for your hard work roofle!

also, for those that dont know, in the corner you can combo light tatsu straight into heavy tatsu. Now some strings can make it not work depending on their juggle state or whatever, but others do. Kinda similar to how deejay can combo his dp kicks into each other in the corner

Anti airing this character is like taking a multiple choice test in a language you dont speak

Thanks! Best explained Akuma guide so far.

Best Akuma guide so far!

I didnt even started to watching this but already left my like and bookmarked it. Rooflemonger always bringing quality content! Thanks you!

First Diamond then Master gracias for the Gouki explanations

It’s that timeeeeeeee! I been labbing myself but ain’t none like a lab from Roof 🙏🏾 Thank you Brother

I watched the Whole video and I don't even play street fighter at all. I just like Akuma

Thank you for this! Thank you for all your guides! Much appreciated!

His hair & beard just makes want a Santa skin. It’s not even that time of year but I still want it lol

Ahhhhh the video ive been waiting for

Watching the entire video to learn from the best on youtube!!! Your guides and videos have helped me throughout my recent fgc journey and I truly appreciate the work and dedication you put into this! Hopefully you do impressions/guide for Slayer in the coming weeks

Great Video. Thank You! 😁👍💯

Thanks so much for all the effort you put into releasing these videos and guides for us. 💜

Thank you!!! I hoped you'll create a starter guide for Akuma

WE EATIN GOOD TODAY BOYS

Finally the akoom guide

Finally, I was hoping for this before the patch coverage.

My brother, thank you for making great content like this! Keep up the great work. Your guides are solid and content is pretty enjoyable! On a side note, i believe from light testing that his medium tatsu on a grounded midscreen target is an imperfect safejump (43 i think) but another meterless safejump to mix up in the corner is back heavy kick to light demon flip + divekick of choice lets you link to shoryu + super for a cashout but the divekick itself off a demon corner raid gives +42

awesome work as usual! 👏👏 could you please come with a short guide of how to beat akuma as well? 🙏🙏🙏

So psyched! Now we need Makoto.

Came for the secret E. Honda tech against air-fireballs.... excellent mmmyesss.... *Mr Burn's fingers*

QCB+HP moving back a bit also looks like it helps prevent the move whiffing on reversals that move forward slightly when trying to punish, which is nice

Thank you for making the video!

Another awesome rooflemonger guide to add to me downloads. Thanks 😊

thank you for showing me the way

Phenomenal as always!

Woah! 🤯 Thank you sir for the awesome guide! Now I'll go play some Akuma~

Roof.... you the goat in the FGC. Don't ever forget it

28:15 The Tech!!! 😭 it’s about to get crazy

Rooflemonger is one of the FGC goats 🐐 💪💪💪 thank younfor the guide 🙏

Outstanding guide!

Awesome video. Definitely going to fill a few holes in my Akuma gameplay. Now I’ll probably regret this, also not sure what’s the most efficient way to type it out but. DR into demon is easier for me then dash demon here’s how…. Fwd- Fwd+LP+MP+HP+MK- Fwd+LP+MP+HP+MK- Fwd- LK+HP (normal 1st or raw) Works every time as fast as possible… natural combo off of all normals, sets up perfectly off of CR.MK and CR.MP, probably other normals too. You can lose some of those inputs and it still works but it’s easier to just mash Fwd and 2 buttons then press LK+HP. It’s stupid easy.

Thanks, i was waiting for this to try Akuma

The one guide to rule them all

Good looking out brother

Akuma is the way

thank i enjoyed and learned

My favorite FGC content creator! Have you thought about going back and doing some tekken style character guides for other older sf6 characters?

Minor thing to be mentioned: With demon flip, the divekick changes angles depending on the strength of kick. Light is shallowest, heavy is furthest.

26:54 Buddy... this is HUGE info.

Roof thanks so much for this man! Any chance you’ll do a Zangief deep dive? Would love to have your analysis to refer back to

Yaaaay! I needed this!! Thank you Rooflemonger!!!

Needed this guide to figure out when its my turn to hit Akuma. Feels like this guy has no recovery frames! Lol

Nice guide

Finally..... i was honda use your tutorial. No i want to use full akuma

Heheh the akuma dive noise at 45:40 Btcharrwh!

Dope! and extensive!!!!

Thank you very much for your videos!

THE guide to end all guides

hope to see other character guides😝😝 in season two

His teleport goes through drive impact also

Am I really going to watch an hour and a half long guide on a character I don't plan on learning at all? OF COURSE I AM

Ty

Stand HK is actually an amazing whiff punish tool. It's incredibly stupid how often I get away with whiff punishing with it. And I'm not even that good at the game, my reactions are terrible. One of my favorite uses for it is if I see Marisa doing a gladius, I just step back let her whiff and press the button. The range on it is kinda absurd.

Since I can’t give two likes. Thanks for this amazing video!

Akuma is High punish highest reward.

Akuma is a top 3 character.
