Played a "Street Fighter style" Akuma the other day. By that I mean he's playing the character exactly like they're playing Street Fighter instead of Tekken. It's honestly great fun to face someone who plays like that. It's just so odd! XD
@@arandomreddituser2722 Don't have one, sorry. Was definitely a memorable experience though. Was playing as King, pulled off a Jaguar Step punish on his rage art towards the end. I love how that works against Akuma.
@@mdarieXV yeah i mean, everytime he goes on stream, he would probably do it for 5-8 hours. And that arcade machine is kinda old idk if the machine’s electricity requirement is not big
He thinks a lot of the changes are mostly positive for akuma. He still does the more difficult combos as they do have slightly higher damage and much better wall carry
That's what they wanted if I remember correctly, homogenize the fuck out of the characters so that its easier for people to switch from character to character. Really depressing if they keep going down this way. But I feel like for Akuma's Case its a matter of accessibility more than making him similar to rest of the roster. They want Ono's boi to get picked more across the ranks.
@@garretgodfrey168 of course. The Bob changes are some of the signs of this. I just pray they don't patch the weakness of other legacy interesting characters like giving back Steve his generic CH df2. Or god forbid a i15 normal launcher.
I think the whole purpose of akuma was to see how street fighter characters would fit in tekken. Think about it all these responses would be for nothing if it wasn’t test. Making him easier is probably another step to see how sf characters are going to fit in,but you never know.
Not saying this cuz i main him but i want DVJ to stay S+ tier. He's the golden boy of Tekken plus the strongest character according to the canon lore. This tier talk makes me wish corona ends so we could enjoy some actual twt tournaments.
@@evilDevilJin101 Devil Jin isn’t even S+ tier anymore, he’s definitely S++ tier now. As I said, you will literally see 7 out of 8 Devil Jin’s in top 8 of tournaments. I’d even argue that he’s better than release Leroy or Fakhurmom, while only being slightly harder execution wise, and that’s debatable too.
@@squilliamfreakyson defs not better then release leroy or fahk all they really did was give him his uf4 your smoking crack my guy, and defs won't see him 7 out of 8 because he's a high execution character and not many have that level of execution
Cant wait for tekken 8 where kazuya gets 6 bars and he can use 1 to do a special mid electric thats +8 on block and on hit he automatically does 5 electrics for 80 damage, which can then screw and do a death combo at the wall. But you also get a 1 bar special hellsweep launch that has no block stun on the first hit and its a low mid or low low, both of which are +5 on block and they do 48 damage. Cant wait for tekken 8!
As if his death combos weren't bullshit already, get ready to see even more players doing this stuff in tournaments. Community: "Nerf Akuma, and remove his cheap death combos" Namco: "Hmm let's make his death combos even easier to do!"
Before he took note of damage around 5:13 he finishes off the combo differently, a more damaging combo cause at the wall hit it was 90 something damage an the other one was 80 something.

yeah that is actually hard to do at the start. But there are multiple frames for that input window so its not the hardest. You just gotta press 1 at a specific timing, around when ff2 is connecting and it will come out.
@@mistashadow you have to buffer it into the attack animation like it is a fast 112 punish or like when kuni throws her kunai after dash1, input it real fast there is also a cheat input if you have 2+3 on a trigger I have a video where I landed the rage art incombo cuz I was researching the timing for my buddy so he could get it consistent, he can fadc twice which is crazzy I cannot even fadc even tho I tried alot of times
Mained Akuma since season 1, would practice for hours with his optimal combos, set ups and punishes, eventually got to the point I could land the hard combos well over 50% of the time. Only to find out 99% of Akuma players in high rank just fireball/demon flip spam. This is just gonna influence that. Give me tekken 8, I'm over this
Dang I didn't realize this was the case. I don't let low rank akumas get away with jumps so I assume everyone doesn't. Although to be fair low rank akumas are extremely telegraphed, and im sure high rank ones are much better at disguising their options/5050s
One thing that bothers me the most about akuma in tekken is how he doesn’t have lower health than the rest of roster. He’s supposed to be a glass cannon.
Akuma is one of my mains, been playing tekken for about a year so far, but could never land the back1 after the fadc. I'm too slow, despite having no troubles with it my first few days. Guess I'll keep at it
I really think that's a smart choice from the devs. The character is not overall easier, he's just more accessible, and if you want to master him you will have to put the effort. It's really great imo, casuals are happy, hight level/competitive players will not be disgusted by the easiness because it's just weak for them so the hard version will be better in 99% of cases.
This character is completely busted, literally breaks the basic logic of Tekken. Most content creators have been DEFENDING this busted character because there were only like 5 players in the world of can do these combos/punishes consistently in real matches. Needless to say, no one is happy that these busted frames and damage are now accessible to everyone.
But the whole reason why Akuma is considered to be so strong is because of the risk/reward of his moves. You still need to know the super difficult combos with akuma in order to get the amazing risk/reward that makes akuma so good to begin with, but now you can also study the easier combos to give yourself more consistency in certain situations. If a person just wants to do the easier combos without knowing the hard combos, then that person should just play lucky chloe and spam hop kicks and cat rolls. The bottom line is that Akuma is more viable at lower levels of play, but there are already plenty of other characters that will do much better online. And in competitive play, these changes are more like big quality of life changes that make it so that you don't have to do the super hard mode combos anymore if you just want to punish. In fact, I think that it gives the character more depth by making it so that a person can study and learn more combos for more consistent punishment. I also think that the developers didn't want spectators to not be able to play the character that the pros play, and that's why they made this change even if it means that people play the character in a way that's different from the way that the pros play. If a person just wants to learn the easy mode combos, that person is not much better off than if he were to just play lucky chloe. With akuma, you would get much better punishment but only when you have meter. And you don't have access to these combos when you don't have meter while characters unlike Lucky Chloe who can spam hopkicks and cat rolls all day. The god-tier pakistan akumas that are already very consistent with the hard mode combos will benefit only slightly from these changes. Having to juggle more combo routes and situations to get that perfect wall splat is a challenge in itself.
I started the game 3 days ago and i chose akuma for my main as soon as i start the game cuz am a old tekken fan i just couldn't play the game and now i can play it and am happy about my akuma🖤
@@Claweddigger09 Oh that works but it has to be a full dash and its hard to shift your thumb between forward and back 4 times, cleanly, and time the dash properly. Plus there are situations where she won't get the last 1+2 hit if they are even slightly off-axis with a single normal dash. Lastly that works perfectly if you have 5 hits before the screw. 6 hits is still manageable but again, you need slightly deeper than a regular normal dash to make sure it doesn't drop. However, Its a bitch to do if you have tacked in 7 hits before the screw. I do Bryan Deep Dash Combos very consistently now. This is harder. Trust me.
even with the big boy combo after the dash cancel you do b1 and if the d3 wasn't close enough or you miss the b1 timing b1 is a high you get launched anyways but an experienced akuma player will be able to tell whether the D3 was clean hit or not and only then proceed to do b1. anyways if you have 2 bars the execution gets really easy you know the combo that mainman showed in which you don't even need to do b1 just do 1 into tatsu for the 2nd bar.
Hi everyone! Hope you're all doing brilliantly :). Myself and a good friend of mine host a weekly self-development podcast and this week's episode is featuring a very special guest, TheMainManSwe himself! He talked very openly and eloquently about his struggles with anxiety and handling societal pressures in the world that we live in today, and he also provided some excellent advice as to how he was able to overcome these things and become a little bit better each day. We talk about this, as well as a whole plethora of other topics that hopefully you guys listening can gain some benefit from. We would be incredibly grateful if you guys could give it a listen and let us know any feedback (positive or negative) in the comments below! Follow this link to be taken to the episode: open.spotify.com/episode/6gkHOSmNZv3Z1PCJQUC3MW?si=1gkvQxzsS8KNVGt-xyGFpg I really hope you guys like it! Much love, The DMC
Since you asked nicely, I checked that podcast and I want to give you my feedback. Imo it's too long you should cut it to parts. Idk maybe 15-20 minutes for each part, that would be a lot better for people who want to listen to this podcast but don't have too much time. I like that you asked interesting questions, and that you were actually listening to him, not just mindlessly asking questions like many people do. This podcast is on Spotify but I think when you see a person that is talking is better because somehow I focus more. So next time maybe try uploading it on youtube with cams? Overall nice podcast, fun to listen to while drinking tea or coffee :) I love the positive atmosphere keep it up guys, wish you best!
@@saitou6613 thanks man for the productive feedback and the kind words ❤️ it really is appreciated! The RUclips with cams stuff is definitely something we want to get ourselves involved in because you're absolutely right it feels a lot more personal and easier to focus. And yeah perhaps we will try to make it shorter, although this one was longer than our usual as Adrian had so many really insightful things to say :) The one we recorded today which is going up in January was closer to half an hour so we can see how that goes haha! Thanks so much for giving us a listen! Have a great day sir!
@@Joseph-gm5fb Agreed TMM had many interesting things to say. I actually started to using his advice. What I'm worried about, that girl is going to reject me? It's not the end of the world. I was always worried about trying something new because I was always thinking about bad consequences that would never happen!
The old big boy combos are not only safer but they have better wall carry (which is a big factor in getting the extra damage) which is good on larger stages. Honestly though, as an Akuma main, I don't he didn't needed this. It's like the initial design consideration was to make Akuma hard to play by having slower moves than most of the cast and moves that take longer to recover but then they make this change and give him something that makes it easier to do really high damage combos. It's like they really don't know what they want to do with Akuma. I mean I guess I know they wanted Akuma to be picked more but honestly not every character has to have(or will ever have) the same pick rate as others. Akuma should have just been left as he was honestly.
People are hating on super akuma when he was playing him. He was the only person who can preform his death combos in tournaments and he did it against chikurin and liquid . Best Japanese's players . Then people start to hating on him because he was nothing without the character. Now the table has turned. Akuma he s not been the same as harder as used to be . Let s those ass scurbs playing akuma and be like oh l can do those combos now . Smh after 3 seasons passed
Lmao it always had that screw launch tbh i play akuma since S3 and when i feel like i can't reach the wall with an ordinary jab carry i just use ex tatsu and it does the work for me plus it can wallbreak
But that was Not a death Combo. AS a Gigas Main i also have acces to 100dmg Combos now. But i have Not the acces to Death Combo a Wall Carry Wall Break. And thats the Point where a Standard Player Shows His difference to a good Alina Player.
This is why Super Akouma said Akuma is better now. And overall, I agree. Awais Honey said that Akuma was better in season 3. But that's to be expected. Doing the FADC stuff for him isn't hard in the first place anymore so getting the damage reduced on that can hurt a pro player that optimized and got maximum out of every aspect of damage conversion. So I think Akuma is now pretty balanced in that regard. A lot of us Akuma hopefuls were always bugged about having to do so much ridiculous stuff that broke the pad that it wasn't worth picking him up. Now, after seeing this video, I will give Akuma an honest go of it. Even if I am not honey or SA, I will get a lot of bang for my buck with that Ex-Tatsu.
Only Pakistanis are fine with akuma... He's hated everywhere else... Even knee constantly moans about akuma, he thinks that akuma has nothing to do with Tekken.. Opinions of the majority no longer can be ignored, demon flip should be hit, just like 10 frame launcher and D2, and then buff him in other areas.. Many top tiers got nerfed while akuma is slightly better than before , It doesn't take nuclear science to understand the state of this game
Just started trying the tekken akuma. Goodness. I cant play him worth a lick. Im sure after mucg practice ill appreciate him. Hes gonna make my brain fall out.
I didn't expect that coming : Why ? I'm 35 , I'm so old " hahahaha , i'm serious in watching then a punchline there . So late to see this video . Anyway thanks for this TMM
Yep we need akuma geese in tekken 8 tweak them a bit like add anti air mechanisms give them restrictions for broken damage like akuma in SF they are cool characters

I loaded up tekken to see if i could do it and succeeded on my 3rd try. I don't main akuma at all. I only have like 30 minutes on him
My brain will not allow me to play this character
Loving the new setup 👌
It’s been a while since I’ve seen your videos. Your studio looks nice!
Green ranks : finally my time has come
I'm 37, you're making us 30+ people look bad. hehehe
Teeheehe
When mailman says anyone he is talking about anyone that has played since tekken 1
But the whole reason why Akuma is considered to be so strong is because of the risk/reward of his moves. You still need to know the super difficult combos with akuma in order to get the amazing risk/reward that makes akuma so good to begin with, but now you can also study the easier combos to give yourself more consistency in certain situations. If a person just wants to do the easier combos without knowing the hard combos, then that person should just play lucky chloe and spam hop kicks and cat rolls. The bottom line is that Akuma is more viable at lower levels of play, but there are already plenty of other characters that will do much better online. And in competitive play, these changes are more like big quality of life changes that make it so that you don't have to do the super hard mode combos anymore if you just want to punish. In fact, I think that it gives the character more depth by making it so that a person can study and learn more combos for more consistent punishment. I also think that the developers didn't want spectators to not be able to play the character that the pros play, and that's why they made this change even if it means that people play the character in a way that's different from the way that the pros play. If a person just wants to learn the easy mode combos, that person is not much better off than if he were to just play lucky chloe. With akuma, you would get much better punishment but only when you have meter. And you don't have access to these combos when you don't have meter while characters unlike Lucky Chloe who can spam hopkicks and cat rolls all day. The god-tier pakistan akumas that are already very consistent with the hard mode combos will benefit only slightly from these changes. Having to juggle more combo routes and situations to get that perfect wall splat is a challenge in itself.
Time waste
I started the game 3 days ago and i chose akuma for my main as soon as i start the game cuz am a old tekken fan i just couldn't play the game and now i can play it and am happy about my akuma🖤
5:07 I believe that’s called suffering from success
intro was awesome... veeery very good ...keep it up ... big fan from afghanistan.
Mainman: Anyone can do this.
Me: Dropping Kazumi bnf2,1,1+2 in combos after screw.
I saw a comment somewhere about that.
You can just normal dash then do the B F 2 1 1+2 cuz Kazumi steps forward when she does that move
@@Claweddigger09 Oh that works but it has to be a full dash and its hard to shift your thumb between forward and back 4 times, cleanly, and time the dash properly. Plus there are situations where she won't get the last 1+2 hit if they are even slightly off-axis with a single normal dash. Lastly that works perfectly if you have 5 hits before the screw. 6 hits is still manageable but again, you need slightly deeper than a regular normal dash to make sure it doesn't drop. However, Its a bitch to do if you have tacked in 7 hits before the screw. I do Bryan Deep Dash Combos very consistently now. This is harder. Trust me.
@@BullC6 good to know
even with the big boy combo after the dash cancel you do b1 and if the d3 wasn't close enough or you miss the b1 timing b1 is a high you get launched anyways but an experienced akuma player will be able to tell whether the D3 was clean hit or not and only then proceed to do b1. anyways if you have 2 bars the execution gets really easy you know the combo that mainman showed in which you don't even need to do b1 just do 1 into tatsu for the 2nd bar.
After this video everyone will just play akuma and do death combos to each other
You are not just anyone. You are a final Boss!
Congrats on 170k
5:00 Oh, you're 35? Fuck you Google for lying to me, he ain't 50.
Hi everyone! Hope you're all doing brilliantly :). Myself and a good friend of mine host a weekly self-development podcast and this week's episode is featuring a very special guest, TheMainManSwe himself!
He talked very openly and eloquently about his struggles with anxiety and handling societal pressures in the world that we live in today, and he also provided some excellent advice as to how he was able to overcome these things and become a little bit better each day. We talk about this, as well as a whole plethora of other topics that hopefully you guys listening can gain some benefit from. We would be incredibly grateful if you guys could give it a listen and let us know any feedback (positive or negative) in the comments below!

I really hope you guys like it!
Much love, The DMC
Since you asked nicely, I checked that podcast and I want to give you my feedback.
Imo it's too long you should cut it to parts. Idk maybe 15-20 minutes for each part, that would be a lot better for people who want to listen to this podcast but don't have too much time. I like that you asked interesting questions, and that you were actually listening to him, not just mindlessly asking questions like many people do. This podcast is on Spotify but I think when you see a person that is talking is better because somehow I focus more. So next time maybe try uploading it on youtube with cams?
Overall nice podcast, fun to listen to while drinking tea or coffee :)
I love the positive atmosphere keep it up guys, wish you best!
@@saitou6613 thanks man for the productive feedback and the kind words ❤️ it really is appreciated! The RUclips with cams stuff is definitely something we want to get ourselves involved in because you're absolutely right it feels a lot more personal and easier to focus. And yeah perhaps we will try to make it shorter, although this one was longer than our usual as Adrian had so many really insightful things to say :)
The one we recorded today which is going up in January was closer to half an hour so we can see how that goes haha!
Thanks so much for giving us a listen! Have a great day sir!
@@Joseph-gm5fb Agreed TMM had many interesting things to say. I actually started to using his advice. What I'm worried about, that girl is going to reject me? It's not the end of the world. I was always worried about trying something new because I was always thinking about bad consequences that would never happen!
@@saitou6613 And he is exactly the same in person! No crazy ideas or radical thoughts, just realistic and helpful :)
Me: *Spends days on Akuma's combos*
Mainman: what if you didn't
Me: But it's the same....
6min - that combo is more easier and has a higher damage than normal FADC?
I like that.
His hit detection is tooooo flawless
The old big boy combos are not only safer but they have better wall carry (which is a big factor in getting the extra damage) which is good on larger stages.
Honestly though, as an Akuma main, I don't he didn't needed this. It's like the initial design consideration was to make Akuma hard to play by having slower moves than most of the cast and moves that take longer to recover but then they make this change and give him something that makes it easier to do really high damage combos. It's like they really don't know what they want to do with Akuma. I mean I guess I know they wanted Akuma to be picked more but honestly not every character has to have(or will ever have) the same pick rate as others.
Akuma should have just been left as he was honestly.
To be fair Sako is like 40 now and still has amazing execution
People are hating on super akuma when he was playing him. He was the only person who can preform his death combos in tournaments and he did it against chikurin and liquid . Best Japanese's players . Then people start to hating on him because he was nothing without the character. Now the table has turned. Akuma he s not been the same as harder as used to be . Let s those ass scurbs playing akuma and be like oh l can do those combos now . Smh after 3 seasons passed
Akuma has always been for scrubs ...
He has nothing to do with Tekken...
"A Touch of Shmuken" 😂😂😂😂
After all this years he is still...
How do you follow up the demon after down 1 plus 2 I’m having a lot of difficulty
Now Imagine Atif Butt with this easy death combo...
The Akuma GOD became even deadlier > .>ll
Can i do those compos with the ps4 controler
i feel old like TMM when he said I'm old...34 years I am 8)
Lmao it always had that screw launch tbh i play akuma since S3 and when i feel like i can't reach the wall with an ordinary jab carry i just use ex tatsu and it does the work for me plus it can wallbreak
WaW I can see more details of your face now in the start 😂
Bring back the season 1, akuma, execution is very hard, but damage is insane.
You don’t even look 35 , wow!
I don’t think it’s fair to say even as a 35-year-old you can do this because we all know your execution is fucking crazy
Akuma is broken AF
If I were on the phone with you and told you to name 5 reasons why he is broken you wouldn't know why.
Me the beginneer : don't do that, don't give me hope
I honestly don't care how difficult it might be, death combos should never be possible.
But that was Not a death Combo. AS a Gigas Main i also have acces to 100dmg Combos now. But i have Not the acces to Death Combo a Wall Carry Wall Break. And thats the Point where a Standard Player Shows His difference to a good Alina Player.
Alternate title; TMM struggling to do a FADC
I HOPE YOU ARE ALSO DOING AWESOME MAINMAN!!! 🥊💀❤️
This is why Super Akouma said Akuma is better now. And overall, I agree. Awais Honey said that Akuma was better in season 3. But that's to be expected. Doing the FADC stuff for him isn't hard in the first place anymore so getting the damage reduced on that can hurt a pro player that optimized and got maximum out of every aspect of damage conversion. So I think Akuma is now pretty balanced in that regard. A lot of us Akuma hopefuls were always bugged about having to do so much ridiculous stuff that broke the pad that it wasn't worth picking him up. Now, after seeing this video, I will give Akuma an honest go of it. Even if I am not honey or SA, I will get a lot of bang for my buck with that Ex-Tatsu.
Only Pakistanis are fine with akuma... He's hated everywhere else...
Even knee constantly moans about akuma, he thinks that akuma has nothing to do with Tekken..
Opinions of the majority no longer can be ignored, demon flip should be hit, just like 10 frame launcher and D2, and then buff him in other areas..
Many top tiers got nerfed while akuma is slightly better than before , It doesn't take nuclear science to understand the state of this game
death combo at 8:16
Just started trying the tekken akuma. Goodness. I cant play him worth a lick. Im sure after mucg practice ill appreciate him. Hes gonna make my brain fall out.
08:15 Here He Did It Just One Time In The Whole Video.
I didn't expect that coming : Why ? I'm 35 , I'm so old " hahahaha , i'm serious in watching then a punchline there . So late to see this video . Anyway thanks for this TMM
This is great, idk why Mainman is so mad. I should be allowed to do cool combos too!
Now everybody will wants Akuma in Tekken 8 😐
Yep we need akuma geese in tekken 8 tweak them a bit like add anti air mechanisms give them restrictions for broken damage like akuma in SF they are cool characters
4:37 :c don't worry king it happens to the best of us
