More like he grabs the victim from behind and proceeds to inflict his own version of "Hulk Smash"...buuut...despite the look of his win screen against Elena, it's probably actually quite useless against her, in a "joke's on you, I'm into that shit" sorta way. Not that it'd stop his smack talk, though. (His quote to Elena, "Your kicks lack power...you don't deserve to be a warrior!", has GOTTA be his most savage line since Alpha 3's "You are permanently crippled! Accept your defeat!!")

After all of these legacies, all the tutorials, all the playthroughs, just listening to Max talk about the games he loves, hates, or feels so-so about is incredibly entertaining. He's so genuine with his joy or displeasure, and it's always great to listen to someone talk about things they are interested in and are excited about. We just need a history of fighting games with narration and commentary by Max. He'll be the Richard Attenborough of fighting games.

We kinda get a tease of the Kongou-kokuretsu-zan in Street Fighter ZERO2 in Ryu's ending - if you pay close attention, you'll see a particular frame where Gouki whacks the ground to sink his island, leaving Ryu sopping wet in the ocean all alone with the thoughts of a hidden power that Gouki mentioned.

@@21Handguns I wouldn't say Akuma was ever top 1, especially not when Leroy or Fahk launched, but he was probably never out of the top 6. Akuma was one of, if not the, most adjusted characters in the game and I can't think of one meaningful nerf he ever got.

Akuma vs Gill The debate begins

@shinime8885 2 ай бұрын

I could be talking out my ass cause it's been a while but iirc Akuma did one shot Gill with demon, although he resurrected shortly after, so ultimately it depends on the rules of the match I'd say. In a fight to the death? If we call the match the moment someone dies, regardless of if Gill revives, Akuma wins; if the death is only counted when one stays dead, Gill probably wins by attrition unless akuma can fight forever in which case it's an eternal draw. In any scenario that doesn't involve someone getting off'd, probably Akuma.

@akuma2916 2 ай бұрын

Akuma already settled that debate tho

@21Handguns 2 ай бұрын

Akuma did kill him,the issue is Gill was able to resurrect, but Akuma did canonically beat Gill so this argument is dumb What you should be arguing is Akuma vs Oro,as they were evenly matched and stopped fighting because they both would've destroyed each other.

@Kenoji8 2 ай бұрын

When I think of Akuma, I think of Alpha 2 Akuma for a few reasons. First was due to this being the first "official" version of Akuma who was entirely selectable without codes or hacks or anything. Second was establishing his rivalry with Gen as masters of assassination and their fight. But third was because of Akuma's ending musical themes and HIS OWN CREDITS SCREEN ENDING. It was the ONLY time that any one character in Street Fighter history had their own credits ending; NOT EVEN RYU OR KEN HAD THAT!!!! That has to speak volumes of how important Akuma was to the Street Fighter universe in Alpha 2.

@InitialDL84 2 ай бұрын

SF3 2nd Impact is my favorite out of the three SF3s believe it or not. I just have more fun playing it compared to 3rd Strike. I remember having the Double Impact disc for Dreamcast and fighting the Akuma/Shin Akuma secret fight was mad hype once you got to it! Maaaan, good times.

KKZ is one of the few ways in 3rd strike to guarantee a round win on a knockdown, since the first hit is unparryable. unless of course you're fighting another akuma, in which case he's got a teleport that's invincible on startup. he can escape aegis mixups with this teleport as well.

I think that Tekken 8's style could work pretty well (since if this game was made they'd absolutely reuse everything they could to save on devtime), even for the Capcom characters as I feel SF6 went away from the cartoony style of 5, so I'd say people are more ready to accept SF chars that borrow Tekken's aesthetique these days.
