Ok sure he killed his master and all that which is inexcusable and is basically a demon. Now the thing is, he isn't actually that evil if you think about it.So first off, he won't fight you if you don't seek him out and challenge him. Then let's say you lose to him, if he doesn't see you as a threat and considers you lost pretty pathetically to him he won't even kill you. Only if you both challenge him and he somehow sees you as stronger will he kill you after a battle.Plus he works as a fruit vendor.Is he really that bad all things considered?
yea i mean isn't this the same world where a dude who wears fuckin claws regularly rapes and kills women? shit seems a lot worse
God his Third Strike portrait is really cool.One of the only times he feels truly demonic to me
>>719502676>and is basically a demonThats a bit overblown he might come acroos as this massive edgelord but in reality he is just a traveling martial arts master who is looking for a good fightHe doesnt even do anything with his talents he could easily rob a bank or work for some organisation like shadowloo as their thug to beat people up in his search for a worthy opponent but instead his super chillHe even takes on several odd jobs like fruit salesman in the movie to afford basic necistys like food and shelter so he isnt even a homeless beger Unless youre some weird demi god figure like gill he will mostly just leave you alone and mind his own business
>>719503712akuma is more honest working than ryu the BUM
Isn't he just a fruit seller living somewhere in India ?
>>719502676He killed his father and attempted to kill his brother. He will fight and kill anyone he deems strong enough to pose a challenge. That's an undoubtedly evil character.Akuma lives by a code however and isn't really an asshole on an interpersonal level. Does that make him suddenly not evil? Not really. He's also retarded because he will eventually be consumed by the satsui no hado and turn into Oni, it's just a question of when.
>>719502676He's just a wholesome big chungus fruit vendor, he dindu nuffi...oh, yeah.
>>719504785you seem really angry anonHere take a fresh mango you well better afterwards
>>719502676He goes out of his way to have death matches against others instead of using his powers for good. Yes, he's evil.
Killing is the whole purpose of martial arts, he's closer to historical martial artists.
>>719503712Yeah I did mention that he works as a fruit vendor lower down though?
>>719505072Wait a few days ago I played a video of this one TAS and saw the ending with Japanese text and I laughed my fucking ass off can someone please explain what the hell is happening here to me?
I have been edging for months. Even the slightest of movement could cause me to lose control and send all of my hard work down the drain.
>>719504785>He killed his fatherGoutetsu isn't his dad
>>719502961attractive people can't rape
>>719505996Is Vega even a serial rapist or is this just a schizo fantasy from anon watching the anime movie where he attempts to rape Chun Li
I can't wait for "Akuma isn't that evil" mf's to end up in this situation
>>719502676He didn't murder his master, he had a death match with him. And his master was super into his pupil surpassing him through superior mastery of the Satsui no Hado
>>719506323>that'll be 5 rupees sar.
>>719506375Yeah idk why people mix up the lore so much, it was an agreed upon death duel after he had already been banished. People make it sound like he came in randomly and butchered him, it was very fair.
>>719506323All the SF animes were complete shitThe only good one was Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie
>>719506657Never seen that one just grabbed it cause it looked so goofy
>>719506657Alpha would’ve made more sense as TV series not a shitty filmhttps://youtu.be/B8rkFvYbLXI?feature=shared
They should bring Oni back even if he was a goofy "even eviler Akuma" he was fun to play as.
>>719507625Can someone please tell me why the fuck Third Strike is so beloved and not Alpha?I really don't get it because Alpha just has so much wackier shit that is so fun and I feel like a lot of the skill is unexplored. I've played both on Fightcade and in Alpha 2/3 I always feel like a lot more stuff in possible, Third Strike is just so fucking mind numbing and tame
>>719507826FGCheads are massive hipsters and started venerating 3S because "muh Evo moment" despite literally no one outside of like 10k dedicated autists playing 3S and the SF3 series basically killing the entire 2D fighting game genre until SF4 came back and revitalized it.
>>719506657>he didn’t burn some muscle
>>719508187The thing is I don't even think Third Strike is a bad game, here is what pisses me off.You put on like say a tierlist of the games and you always have these fucking cucks go "o-oh you know it's almost in GOAT tier but because I have a bunch of people with pitchforks watching I'm gonna put Alpha 2/3 in great or whatever tier" Like seriously I hate how disrespected these games are. They're so beautiful and complex. Is there some broken shit? Sure. But they get shafted so fucking much and it pisses me off, they deserve way bigger numbers on Fightcade
>>7195083283S isn't bad, no, but NG and 2I absolutely were fucking trash and by the time 3S rolled around no one gave a shit about SF3 anymore.
>>719505907why is he called GOUken if he isn't the son of GOUtetsu that's mad retarded
>>719502676>>719503712Explain this, then. C'mon, explain this. Tell me Akuma isn't evil after seeing this. >>719505072
>>719502676Akuma isn't supposed to be evilHe's just singleminded in his pursuit of power, his morality has completely shifted to power > allHe's chaotic neutralHis turning into Oni is kind of a statement on power - can man ever truly control power, or does power inevitably corrupt man?Idk but I wonder what the japanese say about him, capcom loves him and he's very popular
>>719508696Self defence
>>719508696Can someone please tell me the fuck is even going on in that scene I'm still laughing my ass off at how goofy it was and I didn't understand shit cause it was in Japanese, does he just straight up kill an innocent submarine of tourists?
>>719508696>Akuma goes to the bottom of the fucking ocean to get away from people so he can meditate>they follow him down there anywayDeserved
>>719509146basically, ocean gate:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUCm3qN75UI
>>719509176They merely interrupted me just as I was about to coom. I tried to redirect my detonation, but it was nigh impossible underwater.
>>719503712>He doesnt even do anything with his talents he could easily rob a bank or work for some organisation like shadowloo as their thugAkuma straight up hates Bison with extreme prejudice. The former's an asshole don't get it twisted, but he's got morals when it comes to being a warrior. He will fight someone as long as he deems them worthy, but if they took shortcuts or used machinery/genetic alterations then Akuma will straight up murk you without a second thought.>>719503054Still the best stage theme in any fighting game.https://youtu.be/JFLEOdh8IL0>>719508490Keep in mind that Akuma's still known as 'Gouki' in Japan which makes the fact he and Gouken aren't related to Goutetsu even more strange.
>>719507826Fighting games aren't ranked based on how much "whacky shit" you can do in training modeV-ISM is degenerate
>>719511590Tbh I don't train that much in Alpha, most of what I said came from experimenting on the spot. I don't really lab older games that much myself I prefer learning them more like they would realistically do in the arcade days.I've played a lot of Third Strike a few years ago but after a while it just really started feeling mind numbing, its a little too unengaging I feel and doesn't feel like true combat.
>>719512393Also I only ever got to around B rank in Third Strike (Fightcade) if you're curious about like to around what level I generally played. My characters were Ryu and Makoto, sometimes Chun-Li but she felt too cheap. I enjoyed Makoto the most
>>719508328>>719507826I hate how underrated Alpha 3 is. The newest collection is probably the best form of it we'll get too, when you don't have matches that devolve into V-ism flowcharting and stick to X and A the game is top tier SF gameplay in my opinion.I'd argue without Vism it would have a healthier metagame than 3S as well, but that's to be seen since nobody but the jappos play Aism only tourneys. And nobody is willing to give the collection version a fair shake because muh pure og arcade version or whatnot.
>>719513171Yeah man I adore everything about it.Also Alpha has probably the best artstyle imo and some of the best music too.I don't get why people call SF5 Alpha in 3D, the anatomy is so different and especially the way they draw eyes and stuff
>>719502676You are mixing up "has an honor code" with "isn't evil."
>>719506323>mf's to end up in this situationthey woudnt because they aren't strong enough for akuma to be remotely interested
killing his master wasn't even evil because that's exactly what his master taught him to do and he was happy to be killed by a pupil who had mastered his teachings
>>719508696>>719509146>>719509176people always misunderstand that sceneakuma isn't destroying the submarine, he was destroying the derelict sunken ship. communications cut because the move akuma did caused a huge wave underwater when he broke the sunken ship apart..
>>719502676That's because there's only three people he gives a shit about: Oro, Cody, and Heihachi.
>>719503054Same
>>719505072>University of U.S
>>719515645>I don't get why people call SF5 Alpha in 3DBecause season 1 brought back a number of Alpha characters on top of V Reversals being seen as Alpha Counters.
He's not evil, he's amoral. There's a difference
>>719513171>This game would be top tier if you just stopped everyone from using the actual most viable/effective strategies in the gameanon that's not exactly a shining endorsement
>>719521391No, there isn't a difference.
>>719503712>basic necistysopinion discarded, akuma is pure evil
>>719502961Who the fuck are you talking about I've only played Third Strike is this someone from the other games?
>>719521603Metaniggers need slapped. If the Jap tourneys have long figured out that the game is much more fun Z-ism only and carved a niche for it, surely there is an appeal there and a full realization that V is a cancer on the game's scene and why it doesn't grow here.When you pick V you're basically playing a different game. This whole mindset of >everything must be original arcade exact and the only way we play must be vanillaKills many, many games such as Alpha 3, when simply barring the degenerate mode in it's own format (not characters mind you) would make the scene much more vibrant. And nobody is stopping Vism from being used in it's own tourneys. But the western scene is horribly stubborn, and scoffs at the idea of separate ways to "officially" play. It's why any time someone attempts to balance arcade games with romhacks they shoo it away too. God forbid we ever run 3S without Chun and Yun just taking a fat dump on anything interesting the game could be competitively.And nobody would ever consider running CFC2's A3 upper simply because they'd have to relearn some things, boo fucking hoo.
>>719502676>Now the thing is, he isn't actually that evil if you think about it.Don't worry I won't
>>719502676Doesn't Akuma seek out Adon in his ending?
