Introduction
Akuma, although a shoto, and thusly granted with the ability to play a good keep away game, an aggresive playstyle is the sure way to go. Given his ability to hit hard, control space (and thus the opponent's movement or lack there of), and mix up, it becomes very easy to get in close and land the VCs or Supers that can mean the game.
Keeping on the offensive is also a big part of Akuma's gameplan. To offset Akuma's amazing ability to do damage, his defense and stamina are very low. This means that your mistakes get punished harder than anyone else's, especially if that stun damage gets stacked up. Fortunately, you have several tools to accomplish this goal.
