CHARACTER INTRO

To Select Akuma, go to E. Honda and press UP. Press and button when his character box is highlighted.

Akuma used to be a secret, highly over-powered novelty character that was on such a powerful scale, he was banned in tournament play. Now, in HD Remix, he is toned down so he can compete fairly with the rest of the cast.

His air fireballs don't cover a stupendous amount of the screen any more, but can still be used to trap your opponent up close. There is a bit of recovery when doing the air fireball, although it often beats any moves your opponent throw in the air, as well as on the ground. This move can be done with the original Tiger Knee motion (Down, down-towards, towards, up-towards) so the fireball comes out right after leaving the ground.

Akuma has plenty of trickyness with his air fireball after a knockdown. Once your opponent is knocked down, you can immediately do a cross up air fireball then land into different mix ups, like a cr. MK xx MK Hurricane Kick which leads to another knockdown.

Juggling: After landing from a Hurricane Kick, he can juggle into a Dragon Punch for a total of three hits. This can work with an air/cross up Hurricane Kick as well. Sometimes, if you anti-air with a Dragon Punch and it only hits once or twice, you can Dragon Punch again for a total of three hits.

His Super Move also does not do a tremendous amount of damage like other games he is in, but can set up the opponent after a knockdown, during block stun, or can bait even sweeps or fireballs. It is invulnerable and can not be thrown. The best way to avoid it is by simply jumping straight up. Last thing to remember: He takes A LOT of damage!

CHARACTER INTRO

Blanka is a character that can be used very effectively from a distance with his Rolling Attack being able to punish the mistakes of his opponents. He is also able to punish those who do not jump wisely with his vertical Rolling Attack. 

Once someone approaches him, his electricity is a great tool to keep the distance. Once in close be sure to utilize his bite throw or simple rolling attack combos to do your damage.

CHARACTER INTRO

Cammy's game involves a lot of poking your opponent into submission, setting them up for a throw when they're least expecting it. Her Cannon Drill is safe when blocked only if it makes contact at the very end of the move, so to utilize this, you must learn to use the correct kick strength at the proper distance from your opponent. After training your opponent to expect pokes and Cannon Drill, either walk up and throw or do the Hooligan Throw. With the Hooligan Throw, again maintain the proper distance before doing the move.

SPECIAL MOVES

 SPIN BACKFIST

• Cammy is invulnerable on startup (except her head). You can pass through fireballs with this and hit back if your reaction time is good.

• Using LK for the Cannon Spike makes this combo safe if blocked. If they attack, you can quickly do a Thrust Kick for the knock down. 

CHARACTER INTRO

Chun Li excels at poking your opponent and controlling space with her Kikoken and air attacks. She's able to move around, get in your face quickly, go in for throws, and annoy you with fireballs. She seems to have an answer for everything, and in HD Remix her Spinning Bird Kick has a new arc that can juggle in the air, and works great for escaping fireball traps in the corner.

Her Super can be "stored", meaning that once you do the Super motion (back, towards, back towards) you can hold towards, and as soon as you press Kick, the Super will happen. You can use after jumping forward in the air, adding some trickiness to your game.

CHARACTER INTRO

Dee Jay was often times overlooked in Super Turbo, and was often placed as somewhere in the middle of the character tiers. However, like Guile, he has plenty of great normal moves that are only accentuated by solid special moves. It's easy enough to play a rush down style using good pokes, or defensively by spamming projectiles and hitting your opponent out of the air.

SPECIAL MOVES

CHARACTER INTRO

Dhalsim was known to be in the highest tier in Super Turbo because of his ability to lock down opponents with his long range normal moves, as well as rush down with quick-hop drills mixed with slides, noogies and throws. In HD Remix, he's been toned down slightly to even up the level of play amongst characters, but is still very able to lock down your opponent with smart gameplay.

MK slides still work great for evading fireballs and tick throwing. However, since his throw range has been slightly decreased since Super Turbo, he can be counter-thrown when going for the throw loop of MK Slide, MP Noogie, MK Slide (repeat).

• Kick strength determines the angle of the drill.
• LK goes very far and is very unsafe if blocked.
• MK goes at a 45° angle, and can hit low if angled toward the feet.
• HK hits at a very steep angle and is great when you need to fall from a jump fast.
•  MK and HK are great for throw setups or for multiple quick-hop drills.

CHARACTER INTRO

Honda's style of play consists of getting close to your opponent, then hitting hard or using the Ochio Nage, which could be abused multiple times in the old Super Turbo (The Ochio Throw bounces the opposite direction from the corner now, to stop from abusing this tactic). To get in your opponent's face, you could use the Flying Headbutt to cover horizontal space. The LP Headbutt goes through fireballs. You can also creep in between fireballs with the Hyakkan Otoshi (Flying Sumo Splash) which has a little bit of invulnerability at start up but requires stricter timing than the Flying Headbutt.

SPECIAL MOVES

HUNDRED HAND SLAPTAP PUNCH REPEATEDLY

FLYING HEADBUTT

ONI MUSOU
CHARGE BACK, TOWARDS, BACK, TOWARDS + PUNCH

• Your opponent has a small margin of time after blocking the first hit of the Super to input a Dragon Punch or Flash Kick type move. Also, this move does not have a lot of invincibility. It can be Dragon Punched/Flash Kicked if launched from across the screen. Dee Jay's jump back LP can stuff Honda's super if he is expecting it.

NOTABLE/COMMAND NORMALS

JUMP UP FIERCE

JUMP STRAIGHT UP + HP (THEN BACK/TOWARDS)

• Can be steered left and right.
• This move is similar to Balrog's (Boxer's) Jump Straight Up + HP, and is best used when jumping over projectiles.

CHARACTER INTRO

Fei Long, like the martial arts movie star he was based on, is all about speed and hitting where it hurts. Rushing down and cornering your opponent are your best bets to win with Fei Long, and you can do this by mixing up normal attacks like Towards + HK, cr. MK, and countering attacks with well placed Rekka Ken punches. You can pass through fireballs with the LK Chicken Wing Kick, and counter jump in attacks with the Flame Kick.

Chicken Wing Kicks: After catching someone with a Chicken Wing Kick in the air, you can almost always do a MK or RH Flame Kick. If you catch someone high enough in the air, you can do two Chicken Wing Kicks. Once the opponent is in the corner, you can trap him with Chicken Wing Kicks and a meaty close FP, into another Chicken Wing Kick! What's even worse is that if the opponent hastily jumps back and is juggled with the Chicken Wing Kick, you can hit him with your Super Move, the Rekka Shin Ken.

Cross ups: j. MK as a cross up is very effective. Connect with a FP then Rekkas or FP then MK or RH Flame Kick. Chicken Wing Kick from proper distance (learn by practice) will cross up, but the frame delay on recovery will not allow you to combo after. Watch out for reversals. Try mixing it up after you land, to confuse opponent; throws, F+MK smash, other combos...

Rekkas: Changing the timing and strengths of your Rekkas is a vital way to play as Fei. You want your last hit to put you out of retaliation distance, so the last hit should usually be a Jab or Strong punch.

Punishing your victims in the corner is a useful tactic and chips away a lot of damage if done correctly.
LP > MP > LP Rekka if you're standing right next to opponent
LP > HP > LP Rekka if you're a little away from them
Mix up your timing by waiting a split second on the 3rd Rekka.

When Opponent Wakes up from knockdown:
F+HK into a crouching c. MP, c. FP, c. MK or c. HK ... this teaches them one of your wake-up techniques.
Confuse them with a F+MK overhead while they try to duck against the previous combo.

CHARACTER INTRO

Guile is versatile because he can still win matches either being very aggressive or very defensive. His Sonic Booms work both by covering screen area and keeping the opponent at bay.

Guile's tactics involve using his great normal moves (cr. MK, back/forward. MK, back + HK, forward + HP, and his new overhead: forward + HK) in addition to LP Sonic Booms to cover screen area. Flash Kicks are a wonderful anti-air move, and the HK version now goes far forward, to counter moves like Vega's (Claw's) slide or far jumps.

JUMPING SOBAT
BACK/TOWARDS + MK

• This attack avoids low attacks and counters at mid height.
• It's also great to use the back version to create space between you and your opponent, then Sonic Boom to add pressure.
• Against Blanka: The hitbox whiffs (misses) against Blanka while he's crouching.

STEP SIDE KICK
BACK + HK

• Steps forward slightly and delivers a side kick.
• Great to use to move slightly forward while still keeping your Sonic Boom charge.
• Post-Sonic Boom, you can use this to keep pressure if your opponent is crouching and blocking.

BACKFIST
TOWARDS + FP

• Delivers a long-reaching and hard-hitting back fist to the face.
• This is a great follow-up after destroying a close/mid range fireball with your Sonic Boom.

UPSIDE-DOWN KICK
TOWARDS + HK

• This move is has new properties for HD Remix, and adds a lot more depth to Guile's gameplay and guessing games.
• He now can use this as an overhead attack to hit crouching opponents that are blocking, and can do the move from any distance.
• Against Blanka: The hitbox whiffs (misses) against Blanka while he's crouching. Guile loses the mixup of LP Sonic Boom, Upside-down Kick here.

CHARACTER INTRO

Always Ryu's rival, Ken is another flavor of the Shotokan World Warrior. While Ryu's strength lies in the Fireball, Ken has always had a thing for the Dragon Punch, with a sense of style and finesse to boot!

NOTABLE/COMMAND NORMALS

• The damage of the first hit has been lowered and the range of the throw was decreased slightly since Super Turbo to negate abuse of repeatable throw loops.
• After the throw, you have various mixup options:

1. Walk under your opponent (or not), then low attack into a combo
2. Walk under your opponent (or not), Shoryuken for another knockdown
3. Walk under your opponent (or not), tick throw with cr. LK, cr. LK into another Knee Bash to repeat the loop. Take note that your opponent can counter-throw in HD Remix to negate this tactic.
4. You can safe jump with j. LP instead for the tick throw.

CHARACTER INTRO

The head honcho of the evil organization Shadowloo, this madman uses "Psycho Power" to decimate all that stand in his way. In a fight, he has a solid ground game with plenty of great pokes (LK, cr. MK, HK, Scissor Kicks at the proper ranges) and a throw that leads into very sneaky cross up game. In HD Remix, he now has a Slide Feint that leads into a throw set up and moves him closer to the opponent.

CHARACTER INTRO

Everyone's favorite World Warrior and Street Fighter poster boy! Ryu is well rounded in each department and can give each character a run for their money if played correctly. He is usually recommended for beginners because he is easy to use, but is also no slouch in high level play. He can be played both defensively by zoning with Fireballs and Dragon Punches, or can be aggressive with his great normals.

After a knockdown Ryu has a great mixup of Towards+MP, cr. HK (resulting in another knockdown) or cr. MK, HP Red Fireball (also resulting in knockdown).

To fully utilize your potential with Ryu, utilize his traps and mixups. His Fireball Feint also adds to his bag of tricks.

SPECIAL MOVES

HADOUKEN (FIREBALL)
QUARTER CIRCLE FORWARD + PUNCH

RED HADOUKEN (RED FIREBALL)

HALF CIRCLE FORWARD + PUNCH

• The red fireball not only sets the opponent on fire when it hits, it knocks down when close.

HADOUKEN FEINT

CHARACTER INTRO

Ryu's adversary throughout the Street Fighter series. His fireball zoning is toned down a bit since Super Turbo, although is still a viable tactic. His close range game consists of LK (second hit does not cancel into fireball anymore, still a good poke), MP or cr. MK into Low Tiger Shot, while the mid range game is improved with the new properties of the Tiger Knee, which can keep juggling for a total of three hits. He was, and most likely will still be a high-tiered contender.

CHARACTER INTRO

T. Hawk is an all-or-nothing character that relies on getting in close and grabbing the opponent. He can get in really quickly with his Condor Dive, or counter your opponent's normal moves with his Tomahawk Buster. Once you have a knockdown and you're close, you can attack with normal moves and throw when you're opponent is blocking. This tactic is commonly known as "tick throwing".

FLYING BARCELONA ATTACKCHARGE DOWN, UP + KICK ~ PUNCH or KICK

• Pressing Punch will attack with the claw, or Towards + Punch will Izuna Drop if close. Attacking with the claw is best used to ambiguously cross up the opponent, making it difficult for your opponent to know which way to block. If they don't want to strike you while you are in the air, go for the Izuna Drop.
• Pressing Kick will feint, and drop straight down without attacking. Best used to bait Guile's new HK Flash Kick and Dragon Punches. Make sure to keep good distance. Note that using the feint will not add to the Super Meter.

BACKFLIP

HOLD BACK/FORWARD + P+K of same strength. Cannot be hit while flipping, but the recovery after the move will leave you vulnerable for a few frames.

CHARACTER INTRO

Zangief is exemplary of a tank: he moves slowly, but when he comes, he brings big damage.

The big bruiser's game plan is to get in close and bring the pain. His go-to move is the Spinning Pile Driver, but the keys you need lie in getting in close enough to use it. Use the Banishing Flat, Lariats, and Hop Attack to close distance, and when you have the knockdown, use the Double Knee Drop or the Flying Body Attack then Spinning Pile Driver.

DOUBLE KNEE DROP

• Also great to use for setting up Spinning Pile Driver.

HEADBUTT

JUMP STRAIGHT UP + MP or HP

• Can be used as anti-air, probably most useful against Claw's Flying Barcelona Attack.

HOP ATTACK

TOWARDS + HP

• The usefulness of this move relies more on the "hop" rather than the "attack".
• Use it to close distance. This is good for quickly extending the range of his sweep, or if you're sneaky, go straight into the Spinning Pile Driver. This move hops right over low mid kicks and sweeps, highly effective against a Guile who spams them.
