My GAWD!!! Akuma just *melts* under Gief's damage. I'm sure that as Akuma players evolve, the matchup will shift into Akuma's favor, but Yeezus! I feel like Gief could 2-touch Akuma by accident... Probably Marissa too if we're being honest.
i want to see this same fight,, in like a month or two,,, Pro or not i have to admit it is way to early to fully master Akuma´s being tokido, Daigo or whateaver,,if you CANT USE IT AT 100%, and start making openings and combos that deals 50%+ damage,, (considering you have the assets for it ),,it wont work ,, Akuma have the potential to do insane combo damage,, but also is a glass cannon and take a TON OF DAMAGE,, the key is using it good enough like for to block parry or dodge opponents attacks while you deal that Akuma damage, as much as you can
Could be too early to say, but this might be my favorite "Zangief vs. shoto" matchup. With Gief's big damage to health and drive gauge, Akuma really has to focus on not getting hit.
pretty much how i thought this matchup would be. zangief with his anti projectile answers and even level 1 covers demon raid- only thing akuma got on zangief are better pokes
Maybe Akuma isn't that great in this iteration. With parry/DR he isn't as privileged. Weak normals, powderpuff hp. He kinda loses to Zangief? This isn't a new character and these aren't bad players, grapplers still aren't good in streetfighter. Lot of cope going 'round.
@onylra6265 Too much reading into it from only one set on day two. Damage is high in SF6, some would say too high. Akuma having 9k is a much more serious drawback in a game where half of the cast can two touch him. I saw a match between 801 Strider and Punk where Akuma died in two hits and Marisa only had to spend lv1 super.
@@mappybc6097and yet he's optimized with said character. You'd be stupid to think that Tokido won't bounce back from this once he learns this character.
Did you see how he was moving before the crMK? He had part of the first circle done and churned during the dr freeze. Don’t get me wrong, it is still an impressive and difficult reaction, but it is not unheard of.
@@Shaera574i feel like his time has passed , he's still good and can hang with the top players but he's not one of THE best players anymore .. he's almost 40 so no shame , i just don't think he will be able to get any traction.. he's slowly but surely converting to content creation and streaming so he's not going anywhere
@@bobbobertson3285 ken wasn't figured out at that point , like i said he can still hang with pros and give them a run for their money , he's just not the best player anymore . Ryukichi for example , one of tokidos disciples is clearly a stronger ken than him despite being like 18 years old or so
They nerfed akumas health way too much in this one. I know he's always been the glass cannon of sf but, %60 from a raw spd is ridiculous and his damage to zangief is nothing like, what can akuma do in this matchup in sf6?
A pro player playing a new character that just released vs a pro player playing his buffed main since about a year. Of course Itazan has the edge here.
Suffocate Gief up close because Gief has bad defensive options outside universal and beat him in neutral. Also Unlike V Akuma haa a true fireball again
Akuma: I can do 60% damage with a 52 hit combo!
Zangief: I can kill you with two SPDs
Ken: run combo go BRRRRRR

Marissa can two touch anyone :D
@@h3artcxxk Facts.
Look up Punk vs 801 Strider Akuma vs Marisa set.
Marisa literally two touches Akuma using only lv1.

Yeah and that's not easy in this game .. idk I don't think akuma will be top tier , health just matters too much in this game
Against Zangief and Marisa, Akuma REALLY feels fragile and I love it
4:55 that was so beautiful I want to cry
pretty much how i thought this matchup would be. zangief with his anti projectile answers and even level 1 covers demon raid- only thing akuma got on zangief are better pokes
this is the fight i was looking for! i want to see how itazan deals with Tokido´s Akuma!
Same here
Great match from Itazan very well played.
For such a glass canon, Aluma is currently not evennglass but wet paper shotgun. Marissa will shatter his ass in 1 1/2 hits???
" wet paper shotgun 💀
I am stealing that light into heavy tatsu combo 😄
It only works against Gief. Nothing much to steal.
Great to see Itazan finally playing with a decent character. His creativity can shine.
Moral of the story: Do not fear the broken character, fear the broken pro.
Actually the real moral of the story is: Tokido is still learning.
Bruh it's a less than a week gameplay

I'm late to this battle. He 3-0'd Tokido? Nice work!
Yeah he 3-0’d tokido who hasn’t even mastered a new character yet. Still kinda impressive, but in a month or two this match will be a lot different.
@@Yuh_zhimmyYou forgot the part where Itazan is playing as a bottom 5 character.
@@mappybc6097and yet he's optimized with said character. You'd be stupid to think that Tokido won't bounce back from this once he learns this character.
@@mappybc6097 a bottom 5 character in a game that is fairly balanced that also got several buff in the newest patch.
@nam18x Buffs that don't solve any fundamental issue. He now deals slightly more damage and drive damage is about all he got.
oh man Tokido is doing the Ending Walker run...struggle like hell, hope just like EW he eventually adapt.
He elbowed the shit out of his Akuma
What did you expect the results to be?
Added a couple of stars too yourself with that K.O.💫🌟✨🌌🌅このノックアウトであなた自身も星をいくつか追加しました💫🌟✨🌌🌅
Akuma’s low HP is definitely for balance. Imagine an Akuma with Gief’s HP
I would be curious to see a foght with Itazan without a OP character..
Tokido and Naooon are champion akuma mains in SFV. Its obvious just needs more practice.
I hope Tokido uses this experience to get better in this matchup
Song at 1:35?? THATS a remix right?
M.Bison theme
Well.......this was close.
fuck. 5:00 human modern control. how he react it with 2spin???

Akuma is the best thing that ever happened to gief
Is tokido still in master with akuma?
Tokido IS Akuma just like Itazan is Zangief.
don't worry Akuma came out recently, tokido is akuma n1 he will adapt

Tokido return
Itazan should really main zangi and drop marisa much better zangief player

Relax, Trust Tokido
Zang o inimigo natural do Akuma
Illusions are only illusions. Did you have a good dream? Brother😁
This match-up is not in Giefs favor, quite the opposite actually, Tokido seems to still be adapting like the rest of us.
Zangief is top tier now, you gotta realize it
A pro player playing a new character that just released vs a pro player playing his buffed main since about a year. Of course Itazan has the edge here.
No mames... Bien humillado.... Pinche Akuma no vale madre ante el poder Ruso 🇷🇺🇷🇺,💪💪💪 Viva Zangief y viva Putin
🇯🇵vs🇯🇵
The combat in this game is really gimmick-y.
zumba
Freekido
Tokido could kick your ass really calling him free
do you... have any idea who tokido is?
Easy.
Capcom made a big mistake to only give Akuma 9000 HP.
Suffocate Gief up close because Gief has bad defensive options outside universal and beat him in neutral. Also Unlike V Akuma haa a true fireball again
Akuma ta um merd@...
Zangief's damage needs to be adjusted. He's too broken. Hardly puts in much effort to win.
Might as well give Akuma Zangief’s HP.
NO!
they should lower the damage on that akuma command grab...
