HYPER COMBOS

MESSATSU-GOHADO - QCF+2ATK (285k/260k if holding H)

Messatsu-Gohado (Hold C)This is Akuma's go-to Hyper Combo in that it allows him to dish out big damage in a number of situations. Cancel into it after a Hurricane Kick or during an Air Combo.

There are two different versions of this Hyper Combo. By simply inputting the command, Akuma will send out an array of fireballs. By holding H, he will fire off a powerful beam. The beam version does more damage, though the regular version covers more space. 

MESSATSU-GOSHORYU - F/D/DF+2ATK (292k)

Akuma's Uppercut Hyper Combo isn't nearly as versatile as the Messatsu-Gohado and does less damage in most cases so it's better to save your meter.
