Akuma had a lot of mix ups and crazy moves in sf4. The opponent had to guess a lot.

Ай бұрын

Sometimes it was worse than just guessing. A few characters (ibuki, akuma, and yun for example) had setups that were functionally unblockable. They could hit you at the very top center of your hurtbox, and because your hurtbox would change slightly depending on which side you were blocking, it didnt matter which side you chose, they would always hit the other side.

Tokido was also the only other Japanese player to win a major MvC3 tournament due to understanding the meta early and made top 8 in KOF XIII EVO with DLC characters.
