Akuma 101: The Demon (part 1)


The first of two parts in my Raging Demon tutorial for Akuma/Gouki in Street Fighter IV. I use the help of picture-in-picture arcade stick footage, slow motion, and my own soothing voice to bring you the information you need to know about this Ultra/Super combo. This first part includes: An Introduction to the Demon, Properties, Shortcuts, and the Focus Crumple Demon. Check part two for information on Anti-Air Demons (buffers), Reversal Demons (plinks), Shenanigans (kara, palm strike, s.HK), and what you SHOULDN’T do.

  • Drizzydid:

    i am annoyed they toned the damage down in super street fighter. For the low health this guy has and how much harder it is to land than many other characters ultras outside of a pro’s hands, this ultra should have kept its high damage if capcom decided to keep its high difficulty of landing

  • aznboi1214:

  • EddieFivespeed:

  • kouxiongpeterhawj:

    just pres the buttons really fast. low punch low punch, forward low kick, high punch

  • tsknelson:

    @tsknelson Oh. You press all the buttons at once. Why didn’t I think of that sooner?

  • tsknelson:

    I probably just suck, but I cannot for the life of me execute either of these moves.

  • Corbo12345:

    Super is a little OP

  • taintofshadow:

  • Heavyarms72:

    I have a question..I’ve played alot of street fighters and there are alot of street fighters I haven’t played…my question is are the shin characters from the alpha series on this game..and if so is Shin Bison on here and how do you unlock them..ok so I had a few questions..lol

  • ZankuuHadouken:

    thanks thats awesome

  • lordofultima:

    @ZankuuHadouken That’s the point, you buffer the entire input so you don’t see any normals. That’s the only way to do it quickly.

  • ZankuuHadouken:

    when do u do the crumple demon do u buffer the buttons to do the demon because i cant see the 2 punches in the beginning

  • kurupt2164:
