>Never once below high tier in his entire lifeHow does he do it?
regularly screaming the gamer word
>>738158332He was pretty mid in sf5
He's garbage in MvC2 like the rest of the Capcom half.
>>738159797Daigo got Ryu nerfed over and over in IV and Tokido got Akuma nerfed over and over in V.
Time itself has put him in mid-high tier in Third Strike.
Because he's a glass cannon.
>>738158332Why is he black now?
The intrinsic power of air fireball
>>738158332MvC2
>>738158332The raging demon special is just that cool
>>738158332The devs think it's fine to give him every convenience imaginable if they also give him low health.>>738160904I know the tiers in SF3 are intense but Akuma is absolutely not mid-tier in any way, he's either the fifth or sixth best character in the game depending on how you look at it
>>738162408>he's either the fifth or sixth best character in the game depending on how you look at itLast time I checked the jp tiers it was something like Yun, Chun (interchangeably), Ken then Makoto, Urien and Dudley in no specific order, then Oro and just then Akuma. Gotta remember that time has also propped Oro and Makoto up the tiers, given that you know how to ToD with them.
>>738158332He sadly gets lets and less fun to play after the Alpha games. I love the stupid falling on his back move that his demon flip has on kick in those games. His Alpha 3 track is underrated.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IulCTxGBN2g
