I love that raging demon has a completely different number of hits depending on the game lol (I guess now they're settling for 30)

4:28 The voice clip on that moment showcases the pain Desk went through after realizing the nerf to the teleport

6:33 - the sound akuma makes as he's moving in the 3S demon is soooo good

USURP THE HEAVEN EMPRACE THE SORROW BECOME THE DEMON 🗣️🗣️🗣️

That SFxT super is still 🔥🔥🔥

I never thought that an attack reference from Cyberbots is included in the reference! Well done Desk!

Huge pop for the XvSF Akuma theme. My favorite version of the classic.

Just like Chun Li's SF3 version made a strong influence and important contributions to her animations and moves until today, some gameplay and non gameplay ideas of Akuma's SF3 version still are influential today. Like the symbol-shaped aura during the super and the KKZ super. And if i'm not mistaken, SFA3 also used that animation in the custom combo activation. I don't remember now if it went over to Marvel too. PS: Still i'm glad that his standing pose is influenced by SFA instead of the boring (copy pasted) standing pose from SF3.

Die one thousand deaths! This will always be the quote to be remembered. ❤

What's fitting is that I made this the version of his music that plays on his stage with the jukebox mod.

I like that you decided to take another try on this idea of video after the first case with Bison. To me it's an interesting idea and the perfect type of "Desk video", because it allows the display of attributes that you have been sharpening over a long time in this channel reaching impressive results (and never stop looking impressive despite the channel's age). Nobody else in the english speaking zone of the community maxed out a deep and vast knowledge of the whole franchise (i.e you are not the guy who only knows 3S, A3 and ST when speaking of old SF games) in theory and practice/gameplay; and the incredibly high level execution; and the excellent video editing skills... including the specific and important detail of an efficient delivery of your higher knowledge at the perfect pacing, always looking extensive, detailed and complete and still never looking overwhelming. (And there are actual informative fgc videos that sometimes look overwhelming or not engaging)

0:19 I think it is not the first time we see this move. It is a tribute to Evil Ryu's Ultra 2 if I'm not mistaken in SSF4AE

So much history in one video 🔥

Omega SF4 Akuma's command grab after it lands looks a lot like SF6 Akuma's new "Adamant Flame" move. (4:24)

My favorite fighting game character ever , ty for the video :)

You just woke me up very early, thank you

I love these reference videos!! Hopefully we get more!

That combo from sf5 that starts around 5 minutes 20 seconds makes me sad. It looks so much better than what had to happen for six with it being anti-air combo only

That sfxt super goes so hard.

ST Akuma doesnt believe in being dizzy.😅

Props for the XvSF version of Akuma's theme!

3:04 Brutal

Raging Demon in some game cause nearly 80% damage. Thats Wild.

Old man Akuma is at it again.

I kind of wish akuma had an install mechanic in SF6 that turns him into shin akuma temporarily. That might actually be broken though lol

Should of added some T7 Akuma combos too!

Nice

Holy shit my man, are you using the same stick you use to make all these sick combos to do the editing for these vids as well!? Amazing as always! "Ohhhhh my god!" 😂

I never knew super gem fighters had an alternate version of the raging demon!

Ok but now I want one for every character

Sf 4 and 6 has the best raging demon s.Art.

making ashura not invincible was such a heart breaker for me, atleast make in invincible on the raging demon now its like no one uses demon anymore even on pro level :/

need more color origins. i probably wouldn't of learned about Cammy color 10 without the recent rerelease of MvC2

Isshun Sengeki! 天

They should have brought back that final effect from xTekken for his CA in SF6

You should do this for every character

OH! MY ASHURA SENKUU!

There is a KKZ in SFxT, also

Yo Desk You forgot his idle pose in SF6. It's A Nod To His Street Fighter The Movie Game Counterpart.

Hurricane Beryl HYPE!

天

6:25 oh WOW It's been so long...

SFV have also the double fireball in VT1 you forget to add that one.

Adamant Flame (SF6) = Shakunetsu Messho (T7)

The heads of some characters look too small. 😅

2:11 Which version of ST is that? Matching Service?

I think his first white hair color is from SFA3 (1998) isn't it right? Or is it from 2nd Impact (1997) instead? I'm not familiar with it and don't remember the color variety.

Gem Fighter still has the best Raging Demon.

Damn No tekken 7 references?

bgm link?

Just want you to clarify, at 8:03 is this a colour in 3S online? I thought arcade only had 7 colours, one for each button, then START + HP + LP + MK for one more colour. Thanks!

we got usfiv evil ryu but no oni sadly

I have the theory that Akuma's KKZ popularity inspired this visual concept of a single face-crushing downwards punch. So it's Evil Ryu's SF4 Ultra finisher, Akuma's SFxT super, and his SF5 VT1 Srk finisher, which also went to SF6 as a powerup version, and his SF6 Lv3. Just like Misogi became popular after debuting in CvS2, the "downwards punch" concept also became popular and a permanent part of his moveset.

Any reason for the kick before Raging Demon?

8:02 where is color 9?

Is it just me, or is there kanji in the fire of the thumbnail? (The Akuma on the left)

How do you do the command throw after the teleport in Ultra SF4?

Are these theories or confirmed references?

Which version of Akuma's theme is this?

5:13 Better defense NOW! 0_0

whats the song used in the video

No SF5 double zanku?

Color 1 is actually SF3. Peep the rope that ties the gi and light touch of gray in his hair

0:47 What a great example of how much more stylistic, clear and colorful SFIII and SFV are than the muddy mess that is SFVI. Hopefully SFVII brings back some style, and they leave the hyper-realism to MK and Tekken.

😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

Now imma land a sweep > demon just as a Desk reference- they’re gonna wanna punish, and it’s gonna work! XD PS this akuma has some of the worst colors ever idk why this game does that

Getting low on content there desk..?

I didn't liked the super buffed visual at first, but the classic skin does look cool with all the muscles. The original SF6 design, old white haired Akuma, honestly it kinda sucks

not feeling this video tbh
