Street Fighter Alpha 3/Gen/Introduction

Introduction

Gen has continued seeking other fighters in the hopes that the worthiest ones may participate in a "Death Match". Among those he deemed worthy, Akuma is one of them and Gen now wishes to encounter him again.

Pros	Cons
Has great options for every possible situation. Massive amount of variety with two stances Stance switching is usually instant and can be buffered ahead of time during moves. Different jump arc in each stance Difficult to keep cornered Can do big meterless damage with target combos starting from just about any button Supers have incredible range/speed Having at least 2 bars of super gives him access to massive damage off a variety of confirms on the ground or in the air Can actually deal with anti-air activates decently on A-ISM thanks to air super and whiffed air grab allowing him to land faster One of the most dangerous grabs in the game, since it combos into level 3 kick super near the corner Upkicks (waterfall) are great for everything: anti-airing, counter-poking, combos, strings, etc. They can even be safe on block when in the corner. Hands have incredibly fast startup and great damage/safety Strong high/low mix-up off safe jumps thanks to his 2 hit j. RH Great cross-up loop with upkicks Roll special goes under fireballs Long range overhead in crane stance c. LK in Crane puts the opponent in a juggle state and can be chained into ToD super is safe on block and will result in a dizzy and probably a round win if the opponent cannot land a hit in time Counter hit c. FP in Crane stance does an insane amount of damage for some reason. Up to 20% on some characters.	Lacks reliable custom combos Grounded hurtbox is fatter than it appears, making cross-ups easy on him Stance switching is not always instant after most jump-ins besides crane j. RH Upkicks aren't fully invincible Air super forces you to do the second kick follow-up, which can sometimes get you killed High execution/knowledge requirement to reach his full potential Would be a top 3 character without V-ISM making neutral more dangerous and hindering his air game
