[[image:MvC2akuma.png]]


Akuma has close to the worst vitality in Marvel, so it is very important that you not get hit. If you get hit, you will die. He is most useful with his Y-assist, but he can also charge fairly quickly by super-jumping and either mashing on his Fierce or throwing many fireballs as you descend.
Mastering the Dark Hado wasn't enough for him- Akuma now seeks the mightiest opponent on the battlefield of Marvel vs Capcom 2! Generally, Akuma's considered a lower-middle tier character in this Like many of his other appearances, Akuma is a character of extremes. On one hand, Akuma has a very capable offense. He's got a kit of good shoto normals, as well as useful special moves and supers which are almost all air-capable. To balance this offensive flexibility out, however, his defensive ability is pretty bad. He has close to the worst vitality in [[Marvel vs Capcom 2]], so it is very important that you not get hit. He's not as easy to kill as, say, Phoenix is in [[Marvel vs. Capcom 3]], but he's gonna die if you get caught in a combo. He still has special moves like a teleport and a divekick he can use to stay slippery, but he really needs to get into the opponent's face and stay there to be effective. Thankfully, you can bring in assists to cover his weak points, so if he sounds appealing, he may make a good addition to your team.

First row: LP, HP, A1. Second row: LK, HK, A2.
{{ProConTable
|pros=
* Very nice offensive toolkit- plenty of fast and powerful moves
* Stubby but quick normals
* Very damaging Level 3 super- the Raging Demon does a lot of damage when you can land it
* Four super moves, all of them allowing for some big damage
* Good wavedash, as well as a quick teleport and a divekick makes for above-average mobility
* His Zankuu Hadoken (air fireball) is great at harassing your opponent from the air
|cons=
* Terrible defense- he takes more damage from attacks than most of the cast, so he must be careful to avoid getting hit
* Overall lacks range on his attacks- he's got good projectiles, but his normals are stubby
* Struggles against strong zoning. Not completely helpless against it, but his options for evading it are limited
* Sort of like Magneto in that he has to play aggressively to win.
* Raging Demon is quite slow to come out, even though it hurts when it hits

Introduction

Mastering the Dark Hado wasn't enough for him- Akuma now seeks the mightiest opponent on the battlefield of Marvel vs Capcom 2! Generally, Akuma's considered a lower-middle tier character in this Like many of his other appearances, Akuma is a character of extremes. On one hand, Akuma has a very capable offense. He's got a kit of good shoto normals, as well as useful special moves and supers which are almost all air-capable. To balance this offensive flexibility out, however, his defensive ability is pretty bad. He has close to the worst vitality in Marvel vs Capcom 2, so it is very important that you not get hit. He's not as easy to kill as, say, Phoenix is in Marvel vs. Capcom 3, but he's gonna die if you get caught in a combo. He still has special moves like a teleport and a divekick he can use to stay slippery, but he really needs to get into the opponent's face and stay there to be effective. Thankfully, you can bring in assists to cover his weak points, so if he sounds appealing, he may make a good addition to your team.

Gameplay

Strengths Weaknesses
  • Very nice offensive toolkit- plenty of fast and powerful moves
  • Stubby but quick normals
  • Very damaging Level 3 super- the Raging Demon does a lot of damage when you can land it
  • Four super moves, all of them allowing for some big damage
  • Good wavedash, as well as a quick teleport and a divekick makes for above-average mobility
  • His Zankuu Hadoken (air fireball) is great at harassing your opponent from the air
  • Terrible defense- he takes more damage from attacks than most of the cast, so he must be careful to avoid getting hit
  • Overall lacks range on his attacks- he's got good projectiles, but his normals are stubby
  • Struggles against strong zoning. Not completely helpless against it, but his options for evading it are limited
  • Sort of like Magneto in that he has to play aggressively to win.
  • Raging Demon is quite slow to come out, even though it hurts when it hits
