Most of you guys know about Damdai, probably the most famous Akuma player out there. You'd think he'd be upset, but he's accomplished what he set out to do from the beginning. Damdai knew that Akuma was still broken, and set out to prove that to the world.
There's currently a huge debate going on regarding Akuma on SRK and lots of players are still saying he's not broken. I don't think he is as good as ST Akuma, but it's clear that he still mops up a lot of the cast. I don't play Shotos and even I can play Akuma!
Akuma has some of the biggest combos in the game and some of the best stun ability, added to his air fireball which can stuff basically everything and his chipping game makes him clearly a good character, but the blocked air fireball into Raging Demon is what puts him over the top. Whether it blocks or hits, a crossup air fireball can absolutely decimate a player. Another thing is the corner lockdown with tiger knee air fireballs, some characters have an incredibly difficult time getting out of that.
The fact of the whole matter of this is that the top player for Akuma wants him banned. If the guy who plays him better than everybody else knows and admits he's broken, has won tournaments and is one of the best online to prove it, then it's safe to say he probably IS Broken!
