Bloody amazing :) Do you have any vids showing you fighting someone proficient with Akuma? I really really struggle against that barsteward.

Thanks mate :D tbh I got abit lucky that game, Artheas always has the edge over me these days, and he's good with a handful of characters. Infact, I'm pretty sure he's good with Akuma too so it might be a good idea to ask him for a sparring session. :)

Anyway mate here are some tips I found for you for facing Akuma, I assume you play as Ryu?

* If Akuma likes to throw random LP Dragon Punches, make sure you're punishing them. If you block it, Dragon Punch him back. If he whiffs at a distance, sweep.
* Akuma's red fireball has quite a bit of start up and recovers pretty slowly as well. If he uses it from anywhere other than full-screen, you get a free jump in combo if your reaction time is good enough.
* If Akuma has Ultra or Super, be careful not to be predictable with your jumps. He can catch you in your landing frames.
* Be patient during the fireball war. FADC fireballs only when you know they are one-hitters, but not air fireballs if you're close, because they'll usually be followed up with an attack.
* If you predict a teleport on wake-up, HK Tatsu timed well will hit him during recovery, and if he goes the other way, you soar safely away.
* Give Akuma some room while he's in the corner so that he can't teleport away.
* Walking or dashing at Akumas that like to throw plenty of air fireballs will usually get you under them in time to punish.
* If Akuma uses an air fireball while he's too close, you can sweep him and take the hit from the fireball. If Akuma is out of sweep range, you can throw your own fireball or EX-Fireball to catch him. Don't be afraid to take the hit: Akuma's air fireballs only do 40 damage. To put that into perspective, Ryu's c.LP does 30 damage. Couple this with the fact that Akuma's health ranking is superior only to Seth's, and you'll find that the trade is more than worth it.
* Watch out for empty cross-ups. Spamming tech throw at the wrong time will earn you a Raging Demon.
* EX-Dragon Punch will get you through Akuma's air fireballs.
* Crossing up characters that have high-priority uppercuts may not be the best idea unless you scored an untechable knock down.
 
Well when i played an akuma person online he spammed them two hitter fireballs and if i tried to get close by jumping over he did them air fireballs. First round was pretty bad, next i tried to rush with a tigerknee to get there quick and keep him close but damn its hard. Thats what i hate about them unlockable characters they have far better fireballs and moves compared to normal characters.
 
unfortunately im doing 1700 - 2AM shifts the whole week - will try and get online during the day if anybody is around - hopefully get the rest of my games done then :)
 
i recently brought the pc version of this game...i want to know there is way to unlock every character straght away? i already unlocked everyone on the xbox version, and i really cant be bothered to do it all over again!

Yes, but I don't know if you can get banned from Games for Windows Live for using it as I think it alters the .exe or something? Probably want clarification on that though. I searched for something like that myself on Google and I found a way, but I didn't bother using it in case I got banned. After having unlocked everyone on the 360 and PS3 versions, doing it all again on the PC was very tedious :/
 
The quickest way is to just set it to 1 round, 30 seconds, easiest. I still haven't bothered to unlock Seth though but did everyone else, very tedious indeed! Good thing though, you can download different costumes for free on the PC version, there are loads available. :)
 
There's also a method that involves memory editting (i think), but i haven't tried it myself, i want to keep my titles/icons etc all hard earned :p

btw if anyone wants some friendly/practice matches, my GFWL ID is ArtheasWL

Margaret and Vita seem as though they have both quit, I know Margaret has still been posting on the forum. I will give Vita until Wednesday midnight to confirm. Continue to play all your games but don't worry about Margaret and Vita for now. :)

Confirmed. Haha, yep that first game was really really close and almost 3-2 to you, I'd be nothing without my fireballs! :p ;)

I'll be around between 10pm and 12pm tomorrow night if anyone else wants to get fireballed! :D

Unfortunately I didn't have fraps loaded so didn't get any vids, shame really as that first fight was really close!
 
Guys - gonna be out of it for a while; my fight pad bust at the weekend (more specifically - the USB dongle). Anyway MadCatz are sending me a new one and I have also ordered the 360 version to go on my PC. Second time the dongle has failed, so I am getting the 360 one and will hope it is more stable.

Will let eveyone know when I am back in the fight :)
 
Table updated! :)

Margaret and Vita have been kicked! All their games/results have been removed and this has only really affected Artheas as he has dropped quite afew points but he is still at the top! Sorry about that mate but I think it was the only fair way to do it as no one else will be able to play them 2 but like I said you are still rightfully at the top :) Oh you also lost 1 perfect vs Vita :p but you are still at the top with the most perfects!
