AKUMA / GOUKI - MOVES COMBOS & STRATEGY
CHARACTER INTRO
Much like in previous games, Akuma takes a lot of damage but is able to dish out just as much through his combos, wide variety of mix ups and of course his Raging Demon. His Fireballs (air and ground), Demon Flips, Teleport and various normal moves allow him to control space and keep the opponent guessing through the entire match in this game.
In regards to his normal moveset, he now has a far standing hard kick which is a two hit move which he can link into Dragon Punch and a number of his normal moves making it very risky to Focus Attack his attacks mid screen. Some combos form his far standing hard kick will take nearly half of the other players life. He also retains his towards and medium punch from previous games which is an overhead that can help deal some extra damage to turtling opponents.
Although he cannot Focus Attack Dash Cancel into his Ultra like some other characters can, he still has numerous ways to land the Ultra through specific inescapable set ups such as when the opponent is stuck absorbing an attack while charging a Focus Attack.
