It's kinda nice that Akuma is consistently broken. In a world of uncertainty, I can always count on the fact that Akuma will overwhelm me in a matter of seconds.
Sadly you aren't lying at all. I figured Akuma would be up top of this game going by precedent and what makes Capcom some money, but I was still tilted af last night on ranked since he's indeed stupid to play against.
The glass canon premise to balance him on paper with less health has never actually worked in the past and it doesn't work now. I wouldn't even be mad at Akuma if they didn't give him a wholly stupid teleport command grab along with his giant toolkit. New game, same Akuma BS.
I miss your videos dude haven’t watched in four months got a nice back catalog to watch over summer lol was in college had no time to watch but now I got time I’m feeling pumped
No it's not. He was way stronger in SF4. SF4 speed is on a whole other level compared to SF6, so coupled with a light character Akuma was in that game, it made him even quicker to do anything and harder to react to. Here he feels heavy, lost invincibility on his teleport, lost his demon flip grab, I don't like his air fireball and the slower pace of SF6 makes you able to react to anything he does. Later, when people figure out his damage combo routes, he could be good, but right now, he's mid at best. In the hands of a good player any character is good. Manon is trash, I'll never win a round vs Idom no matter which character I play. Just from that footage fighting average players I saw nothing as threatning as Ken for example while also having only 9000 health. I tried him in training mode and saw nothing special about him granted I'm not a shoto player so I can't compare to other shotos. (I play Manon and Ed mainly) I was hyped to try him out, maybe too much, but after that training session, I was really disappointed. I thought of SF4 Akuma too because of the focus attack system and it didn't feel the same at all. In SF5 Akuma was a real threat.
I hopped on ranked with my main, Gief, and was pleasantly grateful that he received big damage buffs even if Capcom didn't give him essential things like a cross-up lariat. That said, my first couple matches were against Akumas and I fared well while exhaling that maybe, just maybe, he isn't dumb busted like every other past precedent. All seemed well. He's strong but not stupid strong, I thought. My 9-game streak was broken by another Akuma, I still got the 2-1, but I had to dip from the game entirely after going against another three Akumas in a row as these players seemingly figured out his teleport command grab is absolutely stupid. Goddamn did I get tilted ngl. I'm sure it's a move that we'll learn to duck and punish but as of now, it's a genuine problem. I figured that Akuma will take the throne up top of the roster, likely behind or alongside Luke, as he's a hype one that sells season passes to the masses. Still, this character did not need more dumb tools in his plus-sized kit like that teleport grab. His normals, DR, and everything else are already super solid, plus it's Akuma, so I made the loudest, "Oh helllllll no" when I played an Akuma who did teleports back and forth as if to taunt me before landing that command grab from one. He's already equipped with so many other moves with decent damage so long story short: Akuma is out, he's super popular, and he's pretty busted like usual.
Hey Smug, what kind of controller are you using for SF6? I use Sony dualsense and it's so incredible bad to play with as sometimes the bluetooth connection get lost in middle of combos and stuff. Really love street fighter but it's unplayable at times because of this. And yeah.. Akuma looks sick..
i mean ryu was able to do abigail types of damage as well. So seeing akuma, a literal glass canon, get that damage aint that suprising. i wonder how you would react to the fact that akuma has meaty overhead setups that leave him only minus 2 on perfect parry. or air Fireball setups that leaves you at around 9+ on perfect parry
Akuma is not broken. Every new released character is getting called "broken" by different content creators, often exaggerating the abilities. Best example was A.K.I. when later after her release people calmed down to the realization that A.K.I. is mediocore if at all. Give it time and people will figure Akuma out too.
Akuma has been consistently really good in fighters even as a guest char lol. He was indeed broken when he was just a playable boss character in the old days though.
What's going smug I need to see you cooking in sf6 man I haven't seen you at any tournaments I really was hoping they give you Dudely since sfv but no they come with BS 2 guest characters Terry and Mai that nobody wants can't wait to see you again man you're one of the best sfv Balrog and G I have ever seen
I dont know if this is a good day or bad day, my friends dad got hit by a car while walking, then some a hole on a dirt bike came and burnt rubber all over him, but Akuma came out today too though.
Bro y'all gotta stop using Akuma as an opponent to highlight Akuma's damage. But also, because ranked/casual will be flooded with Akuma; keep using Akuma as an opponent to highlight Akuma's damage. Thanks, a fan. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

We can always count on akuma as our certainty
He'll always teach us the meaning of pain

Besides USF4 and Tekken 7 when has he been top tier?
I guess SF2 when he was a secret character that no one allowed in tournament.

Nah a raging demon combo?! That’s crazy 😂
How hilarious would it be if, upon beating Guile, they had Akuma say, "And now...I'm going to KOOM!" 😆😆😆
Smug has gone mad bruv
The raging demon jumpscare is real xD
Hasn’t he always been? 💪🏽😂 I’ve been playing since the 90s and he’s always had crazy power 😂

Oh my god finally someone who agrees with me like finally for clearing that up every character upon release is broken like stop it already smh
It gets clicks until they go back to Luke. I'm sticking with ED and Akuma going forward. I'll still have a pocket Luke as well.
I like fun smug. Sweat smug is to silent.
he wouldn't be broken if they hadn't nerfed every other high and top tier into the ground
Based Broken Akuma. It's lore accurate, at least. They might have to kill him off, he'll be a God by SF7
I’ve had this game when it came out and have yet to play it? It lags so bad and it takes a long time to get a live match?
Can’t wait to see 6.5k hp akuma
This is the video I was waiting for, Smug's Akuma with the greatest of ease. Acting like you won't get demon'd
