Special Moves

Gohadouken

QCF+P (all games)
This move is pretty much the same thing as a Hadouken. Akuma gathers Chi into an energy ball and releases that energy towards an opponent. This move is always performed with QCF+P. The higher the strength of the punch button pressed, the faster the gohadouken travels across the screen. The Gohadouken is about half the size of a Akuma and is released at chest-level.

Shakunetsu Hadouken

HCF+P (SF2), HCB+P (SF3)
This is a multi-hitting powerfull Hadouken similar to Ryu's own . When Akuma is not handi-capping himself (SSF2T Akuma and SFA2 Shin Akuma), this move has almost no startup or recovery time. Normally though, this move has considerable startup and recover times. The harder the punch button pressed, the longer Akuma charges it and the slower it travels across the screen. It will set an enemy on fire, dish out multiple hits, and knock them down.

Gou Shoryuken

DP+P (all games)
This is pretty much the same thing as Ryu's version of the Shoryuken. It is a rising dragon uppercut attack which moves slightly forwards (though not as forwards as Akuma's would later do). The higher the strength of the punch button used, the higher, farther, and harder the attack.

Zanku Hadoken

QCF+P (in air) (all games)
A Hadouken is released diagonally downwards towards the opponent.

Tatsumaki Zankukyaku

QCB+K (all games)
This is pretty much the same thing as a Tatsumaki Senpu Kyaku, although it doesn't travel as far across the screen. The Tatsumaki Senpukyaku is the third basic move characteristic of the Shotokan style of martial arts. Akuma leaps straight in the air with one leg while the other spins around in a fierce hurricane kick. While spinning, Akuma travels horizontally forwards across the screen. This move can also be performed in the air. The higher the strength of the kick button used, the longer, farther, and harder the attack.

Hyaku Shuu

DP+K (SF3)
Move that can be followed up by the following moves:

Hyakki Gouzan

no input (SF3)

Hyaki Goushou

P (SF3)

Hyaki Goujin

K (SF3)

Hyaki Gousai

LP+LK when right on top of opponent (SF3)
