Street Fighter 3 Third Strike Guide: Akuma Kara Demon

[UzumakiMatrix]

this is impossible...to do

[UzumakiMatrix]

this is too hard

[Andrewterrorist]

I started playing street fighter on sf4, third strike is a lot better, but WHY DOES AKUMA's raging demon have to be twice more difficult to do on third strike than it does on sf4!?!?!??! i guess capcom made sf4 a little easier for new players by making supers/ultras a little easier to do

[shadowchickenmango]

@Andrewterrorist The foward medium punch is more of a setup, and not really part of the move.

[AFshinigami]

Thanks.

Finally I got.

[MistaMajani]

I'm here from Classic Start Menu tutorial :)

[kayslayahhh]

not to sound cocky but i could bust raging demons on my ps2 version easily

[strykah92]

@kayslayahhh

Not to jump to conclusions but I bet you get jumped everytime you do it against an actual human player :P

[kayslayahhh]

@strykah92 what u mean they jump over, if so i just pull it off right when i get up or right when they are coming down from a jump

[SquishyAgate]

@jowrab it sets up a guessing game for your opponent, so it can be done on anyone.

[theoneandonly4124]

Is this game better on xbox or dreamcast?

[PowerChordTV]

Your mission, gentlemen, should you choose to accept it, is to throw me a frickin bone here. How does Harmonaz hit LP so fast, and how can I do it?

[Dofuslover101]

Raging kara looks like he's about to bitch slap you but nope, he grabs you and does some strange shit when you cant see.

[kevinx0404]

why down forward?

[cerzzz]

@kevinx0404 so you don't have to press forward again and just slide the stick down.

[ak3347J]

what system did you demo this on?

[PowerChordTV]

@ak3347J He did it on a Dreamcast, because the Dreamcast version of 3s is the best console version. I think.

I don't know the specifics, but I agree. I mean, c'mon, it's a Dreamcast.

[SquishyAgate]

Raging Demon is your casual super art.

Kara Demon is a guaranteed Raging Demon because the f.mp sets up a block trap on the opponent, once the demon is activated, they're still in blocking frames.

[peckyRIDERse15]

wats da diff between karademon and raging demond pls reply

[kevinmarquez19]

Wow.

[obstinatejack]

tha'ts ridurculous

[Haken121]

omg

[Longcatcrusade]

thats ridiculous

[kryptonkandor]

Eventhubs thank you so much, this made my Akuma way better, i pulled it off like my 6th try :) Now i get it mostly every time i go for it, oh and i'm using a dreamcast :)

[rememberstreetsharks]

lp lp -> lk hp

ur making it way to complicated :P

[TheBiz182]

@rememberstreetsharks Well they are adding a kara to it so it grabs further >_>

[kokiri2003]

Even in slo-mo I can only see he hittin' the LP once. Or does he does he hit it with his middle finger?

[inalej002]

@kokiri2003

yeah that's exactly what he does

[guilhermewolfman]

I do the move like this;

square square , forward , X , and R1

there´s a diference?

[guilhermewolfman]

so there are 2 ranging demons ?

[stupidjunk878]

No point in learning these fancy moves, any news can still beat you by button-mashing

[grunt616]

not really on sf3s.....its more complicated so if you go up againts a pro...he will surely beat you no matter how much you button mash

[stupidjunk878]

Not really, I have come across real nerds who spend hours perfecting these combos, and I can still totally screw them by just button mashing while they are trying to spend the whole round entering a complex combo

[grunt616]

then those guys arent considered pro...

Pros are people who can adjust to their opponent...there is line between good...and master...

[Faukerz]

You keep thinking that. And you will continue to be beaten by players who are half decent. Also in 3rd strike moves aren't as easily mashed than in SF4.

[stupidjunk878]

Balls, I win all the time, even against nerds like you who pore over the manual to learn all the combos

[Faukerz]

hmm, you're peachy. Just an FYI not everyone who plays fighting games studies them like people in tourneys who actually play to win, i suggest you clean up your tough guy attitude because i was just stating a point that you're obviously oblivious to. well i guess you can continue to win by mashing and then pat yourself on the back and call people nerds because you somehow win. GG.

[Soriphen]

@grunt616 Exactly. My friend who's one of the best in Canada raped the shit outta me and I had no chance even if I mashed. He just read me like a book.

[since1990]

the mid punch is not needed just 2 light punches forward light kick then heavy punch.

[mexiwont]

...I think you missed the point here.

[s13ara]

its for the overhead fake it does say kara demon in the title

[shredhead321]

quite hard using a gamepad. I only land the demon as soon as the first hit of the MP lands.

[lalsaksjdhfggggs]

does anyone know something about the sign at his back when he made the special move ?

[Balthazar228]

it's Ten, "Heaven"

[OverlordRagex]

it means GOD

[lalsaksjdhfggggs]

oh my comment is 2 month ago, and a lot of people wrote me and they said that it means "heaven" or "sky"

but thank you

[Mateo151]

you get get damage scaled while doing this like in SF4? i never [played 3 srsly

[saberj2x]

what's the point of doing this?

[samirhossain]

@saberj2x your opponent can anticipate and start jumping if they see u jabbing (attempting to do demon) this one hides the jabs and the overhead sometimes is too hard to react too....so basically it hides the jabs so ure opponent wont know when u will do the Kara Demon

[lolyougotpwned]

It looks like hes doing the 2 jabs with one tap, how is he doing that?

[arsonARSON]

Take a look at 0:54, I believe he's using his middle and index fingers to piano the jab button.

[junfan79]

he's not.

[darkninja586]

Middle finger + pointer one right after the other

[MikeGuerrios]

The move is nice and all and difficult to do, but shouldn't be able to catch any decent to good player.

[Drgnak]

It grabs instantly so you can't jump out it, and it's better than not being able to catch anyone at all with that super :P It becomes natural after a few hours.

You can catch people with it if your mixup game is good, as shown by high-level players.

[StealthConcept]

Lol you clearly haven't played against anyone who has mastered the Kara demon. Anyone who is decent to good would have a first reaction of parrying or blocking an overhead......After which it's basically game.

[Bushin22]

*what you're

[Bushin22]

Now that's why i should get a Arcade stick... =/

Nice tutorial... and i can really see the magic of doing a Kara Demon... xD

It's amazing and should get everyone off guard when they see the punch animation.

Nice video.

[tahakilla]

Is this just a raging demon...Lp Lp forward Lk Hp....Simple..and i prefer to use a joypad to do it.....lol retard./.

[Bushin22]

Dude, i think you didn't understandqhat are you talking about...

That's a Kara Shun Goku Satsu, it shows a punch animation before that gets the opponent off guard (without showing you doing jabs in the air) and have more range due to canceling the normal punch.

it's an amazing video and you should be grateful of being able to see it.

[CrazyChimpmonk]

I understand now why the arcade stick is better then the controller :P

[Doober717]

@CrazyChimpmonk Not in SFIV you can plink making it easier... you can literally go F-MP+LP+LP -> LK+HP and get a Kara Demon

[OreoTheWolf]

@CrazyChimpmonk I can do this fine on pad.

[TheGlowingKnight]

@CrazyChimpmonk

I can do it on controller. It is all about personal preference. Only reason why pros use an arcade stick most of the time is because they grew up playing these games in the arcade.

[abeness]

@TheGlowingKnight Unfortunately I don't believe either of you. I can dash demon but the input to kara demon is too fast. Through my experience its just not possible on pad. In attempting anything difficult ever, I have at least pulled it off once....one frame links on pad, other demon set ups, ect. I have never done a kara demon ever. If you can do it however describe your method and please don't say "do it fast"....I am plenty fast on pad

[strifechox]

@CrazyChimpmonk na controller or stick theres no disadvantage its up to the player... almost all older heads play sticks cuse of the arcades =p

[betagamma18]

@CrazyChimpmonk I still say it depends on the player. I can do this with a controller.

But it's undeniable that the Xbox controller's pad sucks balls for fighting games :P

[cowcao]

no its better to perform the kara demon cuz ppl can avoid it easy by jumping over and hadoukens

[ThePhyzer]

You're retarded, f+MP doesn't link into a demon.. do you even know what a link is?

Kara demon: F-MP LP LP DF LK HP

f+MP = Gives extra startup RANGE so that the demon grabs them immediatly making it unescapable with proper setup

the Down forward counts as a FORWARD input since you were holding forward for the f+MP all you do is shift to Down forward and it still counts as forward input (to activate the demon)

True Kara Demon = All inputs camoflauged within f+MP with the added range from it.

[sniperclown]

lol thats too many commands the original commands is just

LP LP -> LK HP

[gusto1978]

sooo koOl..

[Iori400]

nice tutorial but shitty song -.-

[XxGonixXFAN]

@Iori400 That is Ken and Alex's song, you fucking idiot.

[AlexiixelA]

i thought i was good. i am nothing compared to these guys

[jesterprenser]

Ah, the name of the move is "shun goku satsu" the raging demon, and is: lp,lp, front , lk, hp...

But cool video bro...

[evilbhaal]

im sorry but isn't shun goku satsu really mean instan hell murder?

[choboruin]

Why the fuck did u pick this song?!?!? ANSWER ME!

I'm dancing!

[1FLOt]

chill thats way to fast I found it easier to do it

[MT12XD]

cool arcade stick

[shungokustasu]

I find it bit easier to just roll the stick to the down position than keeping it at down-forward. Just a tip for the new people learning the Kara demon.

[yboard]

WAIT

I can pull off the lplp>lkhp (Regular Demon)

and the

Kara Demon - f+mp then lplp>lkhp (under 0.7 seconds)

BUT HOW DO YOU DO A RAGING DEMON AFTER A PARRY

O_o

[needcollegeloan]

Same thing. Start it right after you parry.

[ryumaru21]

split second reaction buddy.just as you parry

[ThunderousWrath]

LP LP (parry) LK FP also works, but is obviously impractical in most situations.

[rpgpro001]

lp lp > lk hp is the Raging demon, this is a little different. for anyone that understands the flaw of the raging demon, you know y this is different.

in basic terms, you can cancle a regular move (medium punch) with a special, such as the raging demon. most pros will normally jump over raging demon, so the feint gets most people to block, or attempt a perry, but by that time, the raging demon is already out, and it's too late to retaliate. only seen this done once at the arcade, works great

[Hondalives4ever]

i do L punch L punch foward L kick H punch.

[choboruin]

Okay again, why did u pick that song? It puzzles me.

[SELG88]

after a parry you dont require the kara dude

[spore3006]

gives it more range and its always better to kara demon afaik.

[bosoxdanc1]

Does this work in CvS2?

[choboruin]

wtf? Why so is candy shop the song?

[drunkdragon12888]

what's the difference between the 'kara raging demon' and the normal 'raging demon'?

[hailchrist]

After doing both the kara raging demon and the normal raging i really dont see any difference.

[Cal2k6]

Since he does the medium punch command before entering the demon input, he basically cancels that downward chop (Gouki's M. Punch) into a demon. Basically your opponent see's it as a medium punch so they figure just block it, so when its cancelled into the raging demon even though your blocking as you can see the move still lands.

[713nd]

its like a kara throw, its gives him more distance to it, normally even at point blank distance u can jump out but the kara demon allow u to hit it from a slight distance so its much more useful, if ur planning on learning akuma, def learn this technique

[Drgnak]

Your opponent can't jump out of a kara demon point-blank. However, without the kara cancel, your opponent can.

[Robdetta]

lol wow thats pretty amazing, but im wonderin, your suppose to hit punch twice but when you do it fast it looks like you only hit it once, whats up with that?

[TheMetroiD]

He hits the LP button with 2 fingers. 0:53

[Huss213]

ty i didnt spot that was going crazy

[balob]

sweet a dc stick
