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 game, but don't write him off. 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, a number of which are air-enabled. 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 help with covering his weak points, so if he sounds appealing, he may make a good addition to your team.

Gameplay

Akuma is a brutal offensive presence who can use his variety of powerful specials to keep the opponent guessing. His main weaknesses are his dangerously low stamina and his lack of range outside fireballs and beams.

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
  • Five 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, as well as evading attacks
  • 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- his normals are a bit stubby, so he has to use his projectiles and mobility to compensate
  • Struggles against strong zoning. Not completely helpless against it, but his options for evading it are kind of limited
  • Sort of like Magneto in that he has to play aggressively to win- he can't turtle very well
  • Raging Demon is quite slow to come out, even though it hurts when it hits
