I keep telling friends of mine "Play who you enjoy". Everyone doesn't need to always play the "best" character. If you aren't going to tournaments and you have no goal for ranked, why play the "best" character and have no fun doing it? Playing whoever you enjoy most is literally just maximizing your fun. Having more fun means you will play more and with that you will naturally learn more.
people need to realise that when pros call a character "good" or "bad", they are mostly referring to high level competitive play. Not your average online ranked match.
12:35 "Punk HABIBI..... my Habibi! I love the relationship between the Birds and Punk. Great players and friends with no ego towards each other. It's good for the FGC.
Its fun already having time to play video games... Fun will not get you the money to sustain that life style... The boring character that wins game will 😂
This makes a lot of sense. The corner-carry, pokes, walk-speed and advancing normals gives Akuma amazing space-control in a meta where the corner is already death.
Tbf, I think he knew this before . You could tell how salty he was in that video . He definitely was getting blown up off the smallest shit & was like man fuck this 😂😂
Miss you bro! Hopefully your health is good right now ❤ being fun is one of the most important things either casually or even in your level where a lot on the line! I think you gonna adore Terry Bogard when he's released with how insane he is 😂❤🔥 hopefully we see you soon in a tournament "SFL maybe?"
Interesting. Tokido has the exact opposite opinion about Akuma in the corner. One of his reasons for switching back to Ken was according to him "Akuma does not have sticking power in the corner like Ken". Tokido thinks Ken´s corner pressure game is way better than Akuma´s.
Just shooting an idea out there. I am obsessed with angry birds akuma. Im an akuma main myself so im just watching how you play. If you can!!!! Longer videos of your sets. or just upload vods when you stream. I personally would really appreciate it.
You know, it’s ok to gather new information & change your opinion based on that. Fun is important! Would be awesome to see you take Akuma to the top seeing as Ryu just won a major himself! The war of the shotos…BEGINS?😤
Hi. I just want to say that you're awesome with Akuma. I was wondering if you could make an Akuma guide. If not, then can you give a few pointers? I'm at platinum 4.
My Favorite ken player in the world hate to see you leave ken but you got that Evo championship under your belt. Ken has been represented well 👏💯🕹🎮 gg angry bird
Best part of this video is when the random video recommendation pops up in the corner and it is "Why I dropped Akuma". There will probably be a part 2 on that one eventually lol.
Kind off , akuma still hasn't won a worthy tournament, 9k health is just too bad in this game . Nerf his damage output and give him 10k health , problem solved . He will be a "weaker" but more complex version of Ken .
@@IytrrvItru I feel like that defeats the whole glass cannon aspect that is central to his character, the whole thing that makes him unique is insane damage potential and low health 😂
@@dominickjadon yeah but in this game he doesn't have the highest damage potential, multiple characters hit much harder than him and they all have 10k hp and above . Making Akuma 9k while every other character sits at 10k or above really makes no sense . We will never see him being tournament viable unless they make further changes to him . Just my 2 cents .
Hi Angrybird, at Evo, we talked in the elevator at our hotel, i told you how i played akuma and ken but you told me to drop Akuma cuz he is a trash character. Now you are saying akuma is so fun. I think i will pick up rashid now.
You people need to understand that these are normal human beings that have an opinion, and their opinion can change.. All of them not Just AB, they might have opinions, then they discover a new thing and change their opinion.. It's Normal 😅
I could be totally wrong and off base here but I wish alot of the Pro players would just play what they genuinely enjoy. Have fun. I know that's easy for me to say ... im just a filthy casual ... I dont do this for a living ... But it just seems like there is such much of a heavy emphasis on who has "the best" this or that or where a particular character is on some teir list, that people seem to stop having fun playing a video game.
For guys in this position it’s different when you got thousands, or even a million, on the line you damn right somebody is going to maximize their chances to get that money 😂 that shit get real
@@dominickjadon that is why the FGC is a complete shell of its former self. It is literally the difference between attitude era WWE versus todays PG WWE. This is not a good thing. the players of today will never know what it was like back when fighting games did not go esports. When players whole identity was part of their characters. They all had entirely different playstyles who elevated their characters regardless of tiers. To prove people wrong. It wasn't money. There was real passion and reputation was what mattered. PR barlog for his balrog. Daigo for his ryu. Tokido "the murderface" for his akuma. Mago "the 2D god" for his fei long. Smug for his dudley. Dieminion for his hyper defensive guile. You got FChamp who was a heel and stirred competitive drama. The longstanding rivalry between daigo and justin wong. There was a nationalistic passion to win these tournaments for your country. There was real matchups. It was far less about chasing top tiers. Players will bring the characters that they like to play to their limits. Getting information was also difficult. Now everything is found within the first weeks. That underground element to pre esports FGC was peak. There was heart to it. Now, esports FGC is streamlined and generic. Zero individualism to the players. It is robotic. Everyone cares so much about numbers and tiers. Everything is calculated. You have all this money put into all this marketing and technology with these tournaments and it all just feels sterile. fighting games used to be not designed for accessibility. Combos were actually difficult to do with 1 frame links and when someone succeeds, it is hype. Comebacks were difficult. You cannot have pocket characters because the game was difficult. You had to take the character you chose to play to their limits. This led to these players being identified to that character and makes them reputable. Mike ross saw it coming.
I’ve mained 3 characters in SF6. Zangief, Marisa, and Akuma. Marisa is mainly because even though she doesn’t have a whole lot of utility for closing distance her damage is crazy good. Zangief because he’s pretty much a knowledge check character and forces you to be more aware and patient but once it pays off it’s so satisfying when you get the damage you’re looking for. However, for whatever reason when you’re playing as Akuma and everything just clicks in a fight there’s just nothing like it. He’s so fun to use, the combos are easy to learn, he’s so unlike the rest of the cast that it’s crazy.
I wouldn't say he's unlike every character in the game , he is still bound to the same principles as other characters, but the fun comes from his way to link combos , almost everything you can imagine works on him , so you get some amazing conversions depending on the situation in you're in . He probably has the highest skill ceiling in sf6. That being said he's also played wrong constantly.
U saw DIAGO do raging demon in the tournament After I saw that I was like there’s going to be a flood of Akuma players because he’s just enjoyable to play with, even his CA when u win with it is satisfying, main reason I picked up Marisa just because I want to pound faces in
Angry bird Just admit please 🙏 You were wrong about Akuma You saw what others can do in the Tournament's with Akuma only. And you know Ken failed you .. Especially in the last Major Tournament. You play Akuma Amazing... Just dnt disappointed Yourself like that again.. Good luck with Akuma.. You are to me better then Diago and Tokido Combined You dnt go for petty throwing each time. A No offence intended.
Bro doing combos to the options menu..Damn
😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I swear I was thinking the same thing! 😂😂
Lol wtf
so true im literraly dead when i am seing it 😂
Angry Bird is about to be on raging demon time.
Such a free form character. Did not regret buying Akuma 1st day.
Glad you're having fun with Akuma, fun is always important! Best of luck on your journey

That's why I play Dhalsim
couldnt have said it any better
@@otislindsey9993 except he’s swapping to a top 2 character and saying it’s because “he’s fun” after maining a top 2 character season 1.
I used to think this, then I stopped using Manon.
12:35 "Punk HABIBI..... my Habibi!
I love the relationship between the Birds and Punk. Great players and friends with no ego towards each other. It's good for the FGC.
Angry bird: "I don't like Akuma. Ken is the love of my life"
Months later: "Akuma's fun. He's so fun!"
right, dude is all over the place now.
i think he got sick and tired of being the receiver of his corner game 😂
when the downplay buffs are taking too long:
"He's funnier than Ken"🤣🤣🤣
Trying to get Akuma nerfed lmao mark my words, he's still playing Ken.
glad to see you on akuma again and thanks a lot for your ken guides
now on waiting room akuma guides)
Hey its the angry bird!! hopefully we see you back in tournaments soon
I agree, Ken is far more stable and gets the better oki but Akuma is just fun, idk how or why, he is just fun to play as
Fun should be the first reason to play, I'm so glad to see you having fun playing Akuma. keep going dude you're awesome !
Its fun already having time to play video games... Fun will not get you the money to sustain that life style... The boring character that wins game will 😂
Look at this guys ❤
This makes a lot of sense.
The corner-carry, pokes, walk-speed and advancing normals gives Akuma amazing space-control in a meta where the corner is already death.
I love watching you play Akuma, I'm looking forward to more of it!
“I’m playing Akuma for fun!” Lmao sure buddy
He did add that he's completely cracked as well
I do the same. I main ryu, but akuma is soo fun to play❤
Because you were wrong
Thats it. Thats should be the end of the vid
No, literally, say it again for the rest of the audience.
👏👏👏 Surely these Evo champs know what they’re talking about…🙄
Bruh his explanation makes sense, why be mad a guy doesn't cry overpowered instantly
Tbf, I think he knew this before . You could tell how salty he was in that video . He definitely was getting blown up off the smallest shit & was like man fuck this 😂😂
Because hes fun isn't he? Yea dont resist, join the army.
if only tokido feels the same way
Yeah it makes sense, Akuma is an absolute beast right now. So many great options and so freaking fast.
A shoto, but 2 steps ahead
Bruh just the way this guy navigates the training menu is impressive lmao
Akuma movespeed what makes him special. Also he is Akuma 🗿💪
Miss you bro! Hopefully your health is good right now ❤ being fun is one of the most important things either casually or even in your level where a lot on the line! I think you gonna adore Terry Bogard when he's released with how insane he is 😂❤🔥 hopefully we see you soon in a tournament "SFL maybe?"
Well Terry doesn't seem that insane now tbh
Angry bird boutta become the Raging Bird 🔥🔥🔥
Interesting. Tokido has the exact opposite opinion about Akuma in the corner. One of his reasons for switching back to Ken was according to him "Akuma does not have sticking power in the corner like Ken". Tokido thinks Ken´s corner pressure game is way better than Akuma´s.
AB may be using his own (bad) experience in the corner against Akuma as a thermometer instead of the character's actual moveset.
Just shooting an idea out there. I am obsessed with angry birds akuma. Im an akuma main myself so im just watching how you play. If you can!!!! Longer videos of your sets. or just upload vods when you stream. I personally would really appreciate it.
angry bird habibi !
His Back! This dude so funny🤣
Great answer! Akuma is the best Shoto imo and he is super fun to play. Become the Demon!
I’ve never been as intimidated by anything in this game as I am watching this guy on the training options menu
Nice match up going on there, two top tiers
/s
yup me too, so much fun legit. enjoy bro
You know, it’s ok to gather new information & change your opinion based on that. Fun is important! Would be awesome to see you take Akuma to the top seeing as Ryu just won a major himself!
The war of the shotos…BEGINS?😤
"Because I'm having so much fun" = "He hits like a truck"
Thx for the tips !!!

I'm at platinum 4.
My Favorite ken player in the world hate to see you leave ken but you got that Evo championship under your belt. Ken has been represented well 👏💯🕹🎮 gg angry bird
Outro riddim so sick
Because hes top tier bro. We know. Good on you for making the smart choice.
Remember the match starts at the character select screen.
Akuma makes me mad fireball is to good like im fighting guile and ken wrapped in 1
I always said I'd main akuma when he came out whether he's good or bad. I'm glad it paid off to main him though
Easy, because Akuma makes you koom. He makes us all koom
Best part of this video is when the random video recommendation pops up in the corner and it is "Why I dropped Akuma". There will probably be a part 2 on that one eventually lol.
AB is slapping that stick like it owes him money
Angerybird is so matter of fact with his opinions. He leaves himself no room to change opinions😂
Bro you are so aggro on Akuma it's fun to watch
Remember “Ken is the love of my life” 😂
Playing Akuma for content of course lol
Habibi the controller ASMR is a bit intense
He slaps that leverless hard
Akuma is fun because you can do whatever you want
How is he going through the menu that fast I’ll never be as good as these guys smh
Repetition bro , he's been doing this for the better part of the last decade , every day , all day ..
Im more impressed on how he navigate the menu
real reason is he's playing him to not seem biased when he talks about nerfing him hoping to get him nerfed then swap back to ken
Sounds like you are operating a typewriter.
AB finally sacrificed himself to the Satsui No Hado
Dam man you are really good at this game I fucking suck and the more I train and practice the worst I get
Japan was right about Akuma
Japan seems to have been right about a lot regarding SF6.
Kind off , akuma still hasn't won a worthy tournament, 9k health is just too bad in this game . Nerf his damage output and give him 10k health , problem solved . He will be a "weaker" but more complex version of Ken .
@@IytrrvItru I feel like that defeats the whole glass cannon aspect that is central to his character, the whole thing that makes him unique is insane damage potential and low health 😂

he give up and join back to the Akuma Army XD.
More fun = more options.
Hi Angrybird, at Evo, we talked in the elevator at our hotel, i told you how i played akuma and ken but you told me to drop Akuma cuz he is a trash character. Now you are saying akuma is so fun. I think i will pick up rashid now.

@@metalpie20 I have no Idea if you were sarcastic or serious .. maybe I stepped on a mine without knowing 🤭
Akuma was the only character I bought, Elena is probably the only other character I will get until season 3
4:00 now that's filthy 😂
is Big bird gonna be playing Bison again?
Can you do those same demon setups with his command grab as well?
No
Wait... why is Bison locked? You haven't bought the season pass?
Bro what did the training menu do to you 🤣
wallahi my brother said ahki

My most damaging combo I have with Akuma is 6940
3:11 The equivalent of Gief empty j>CA in corner, except this is more mischievous. Lots of chars can be oppressive but he got that demon in em'.
why do you use stick over hitbox?
You know, not everybody comfortable with leverless/hitbox.
Angrybird, my Nick Kaolan-beast add. I want lerning play Ken Masters with you. Your training me!

Almost exactly the same for me with the exception of Marisa. I played Ryu instead.
@@IytrrvItru even when played wrong he is mad effective 😭

People who were in chat that day 💀
Bro theres a button called reset you should bind it 😅
Je me sent trahi ;) , your best, j'attend t'es prochaine victoire qu'importe le perso
Supa saiyajin Gouki
Will you be playing Terry Bogard?
Ken is the love of your life, huh?
Betraying the ways of Ken 😢
Meanwhile there's a Japanese who was famous for using Gouki/Akuma still sticking to Ken.
Well tokido got rekt by bonchan at EWC getting 3-0 by akuma lol
If you main Akuma you must have another FT5 vs Daigo.
First
Why doesn't he use the shortcuts to save and load positions? Would be easier and less distracting than always going to menu
I always think that as well but then I just assume he’s been doing it like this for years so hes just used to it 😂
Ken sempre foi o meu personagem, mais para um profissional tem quer ter no mínimo três personagem pra você
👋🇦🇪🤩
With Ken you had better numbers 🤔
Give us evil ryu
Because its meta. Thats all there is to it.

Terry’s better and he’s not even out yet 😂
Is this plat gameplay?

Just admit please 🙏
You were wrong about Akuma
You saw what others can do
in the Tournament's
with Akuma only.
And you know Ken failed you ..
Especially in the last Major
Tournament.
You play Akuma Amazing...
Just dnt disappointed
Yourself like that again..
Good luck with Akuma..
You are to me better
then Diago and Tokido
Combined
You dnt go for petty throwing
each time.

No offence intended.
I dont like Akuma ... but he is Brok... i mean fun... kkkkkkk (Guile, Akuma, Bison and Ed are Broken)
How’s guile and Ed broken?
I agree with you but just wanna see if your reasons are the same ones I think
At least u were man enough to admit u were wrong. Professor X is sometimes wrong even if he can read minds.
