XMen CotA - Akuma Playthrough

[tanukiaho4]

akuma sometimes sounds like raccoon willie in this game.i have played this game with gouki(akuma)at video arcade and vs cpu mode is really unfair in this game

[Clearstarsummer]

Ahh, another akuma rapethrough

[acidglow]

@Clearstarsummer

Except I'm not packing infinite health or infinite super meter like other people =)

[1300zw]

This started of the MvC series

[thunderstudent]

Akuma arived alittle earley for X-Men vs. Street Fighter but decided not to wait and start fighting

[Knightphall]

@thunderstudent LOL

[megadeath45]

10:44 sounded like sentinel said "Falcon-Punch" lol

[cesarhenrxr]

I think the damage system of this game very strange. Sometimes a hit takes much damage, sometimes not...

[Jiterdomer]

How did Akuma sent to the X-Men Universe did he used time machine to the future or something?

[Pokechao]

I would of liked it better if ryu or ken was in instead but akuma is still awesome

[SAGE4DAWISE]

lol if he could use the su goku satsu akama and magnito would be in hell for a quite some time.

[lacjr1977]

this was a thing of beauty how you beat Mags and Jugs

[acidglow]

@lacjr1977

Thanks

[ToToo088]

this Akuma cant use the Shun Goku Satsu right?

[acidglow]

@ToToo088

No. Only has 2 other super moves.

[SuperMachine92]

@acidglow

how can you get Akuma in this game?

[acidglow]

@SuperMachine92

Google is a great search engine.. it's rather easy to find.

[droopysounds]

great fight i never seen this game until now i only played x-men vs street fighter & marvel super heroes vs street fighter & marvel vs capcom 1 and 2

[GigaEXE]

LOL! It's so funny that Akuma is using Silver Samurai's voice. XD

[acidglow]

@GigaEXE

yup.

[DDRUTOU]

@GigaEXE And Wolverine's too

[vangbang817]

magneto was a tough tough bastard to beat in the arcade i almost broke the damn cabinet once just cause i couldnt beat him when i was like 10 haha

[Hyan36]

Love the stages too bad Capcom aren't doing it like this anymore, you see a lot of stuff moving on the backgrounds and things are getting destroy through the fights, even Magneto use his stage against you. The danger room is the absolute best stage ever

X-Men COTA, Marvel Super Heroes and Marvel VS Capcom have the best stages out of all of the VS series

[ridureyu]

I liked all the little graphical additions and sprite mods they made to Akuma SSF2T sprite (the counter move, afew more frames for falling fown, the fireball color, black fire around his fist for the shoryuken, and his diving kick). It's amazing that this game is where he got his hadoken and shoryuken supers. Still lacked a name, of course!

[Emperor173]

Great video of you playing as Akuma, he is my all time favourite character to play as in this game, I have X-Men Children of the Atom Playstation one version and I play it alot on my PS3 system, I very rarely if ever play as anyone else. I only play as Akuma and I always set the rounds to about 5 rounds per fight. Do you have any videos of you playing against the Computer controlled Akuma? Maybe show off a match where the computer controlled Akuma makes an appearance.

[acidglow]

@Emperor173

watch my Street Fighter Alpha 2 matches..

My Shin Akuma vs CPU Shin Akuma difficulty 8.. there's like 25 or 26 battles I did over the years. There's a playlist of it.. I think you'll really like those.

[TheNostalgiaJunkie]

When I first saw the danger room stage back in 95 I was blown away. The ray swimg across the floor during the sea bed hologram has stood out in my mind till this point. I haven't seen it since then.

[juSt10bLaZe]

Good ol cheap 90's capcom recycling voices. Every time he does his super fireball I'm expecting "headcrush!" lol

[acidglow]

@juSt10bLaZe

LOL! so true!

[gotzJazzhandz]

that akuma looks so fun

[garvensman]

nice work, back when I played this regularly I hard a hard time winning with Akuma. I'd like to give it another go now that I'm older... But it still looks pretty difficult. Thanks for the upload

[acidglow]

@garvensman

The game is still hard. The AI is fucking cheap. instant block on so many chain combos and they grab you so fast...

[mmmmmarcus]

@acidglow You're supposed slam them after they attack. I used to think this game was impossible, til I set it to expert mode and kept playing. You just need to think. Whenever they're close, be ready to tech-hit. Freezing Iceman with Silver-samurai is VERY gratifying. lol! I agree though, this is not an easy game, even on the lowest difficulty.

[2mangekyousharingan]

i love the part when Gouki evaded the Magnetic Shockwave using his Ashura Senkuu (see 16:22).

[acidglow]

@2mangekyousharingan

thanks =)

[nano69ify]

he sounds like the Silver Samurai here!?

[acidglow]

@nano69ify

Akuma sprites are from Super Turbo. In that game all he had was a "grunt" sound for his moves. So they probably just decided to give him some sound files from Silver Samurai as it was the most suitable. Akuma never really says anything during his moves in all his games anyways. Only exception is in Street Fighter 4 which was the first.

[LeafGuy765]

does he have the Raging Demon?

[acidglow]

@LeafGuy765

no. He only has supper DP and super hadouken.

[SF18BRAV0]

This game was ahead of it's time.

[Toomnyusernae]

Damn, using Akuma in this game is so bloody difficult. You know about super dragon punches and long range hurricane kicks I assume?

[acidglow]

@Toomnyusernae

try watching the playthrough..

[MultiDrJekyll]

omega red did put up a good fight on ya,my man

[acidglow]

comment pending approval!!!

[DarkZeroElement]

Great move on the Magnetic Shockwave. Awesome playing. If only they had the Raging Demon in there.

[acidglow]

Thankx. Yeah, I'm a teleport whore. :p

[DarkZeroElement]

Sometimes ya gotta cake it, especially against someone like Magneto. :D

[dafreshboythemighty]

unlike that mjyoiyute dumb fuck , you play the game fairly

[acidglow]

alrighty. dunno who that is.

[Jegudiel29ZX]

This game's cheap. i haven't even reached Juggernaut and Magneto yet! T_T btw great playthrough.

[acidglow]

I know what you mean. The AI is cheap in the game. It's more annoying then fun.

[barlog20]

This game has the best backgrounds when it comes to 2d fighting games.

[Oguz286]

Don't you know who I am? I'm Akuma bitch! xD

Love your videos!

[Loader2K1]

What I dislike about Spiral's stage is that I can never get a chance to take in the beauty of the upper levels of the stage. CPU-controlled Spiral is always in a rush to knock me down to the lowest level where the freaky, floating statue of Mojo's head is at, which may or may not be "alive".

[accent361]

I was waiting for spiral to shut up for 3 mins. DAMN!!

[acidglow]

okay

[yetitracterbeam]

shankunetsu head crush! haha amazing sound effect for that

[dameonferguson]

dude i know what u mean the AI is super cheap especially omega red.hes a LOSER!

[acidglow]

yup, and they grab so well.. argg

[Turlast]

I never got a chance to play as Akuma when I had COTA, but now I wish I had the game again. At least I could watch AG kick ass.

Great upload, AG! And one quick Q: Does Akuma have an ending on here?

[acidglow]

Thankx. He has a very very short ending. You can look it up in the XMen COTA endings video I uploaded over a year ago to see them all.

[BlackPoisonxX]

nice vid man

[acidglow]

thankx

[fabiansdabest88]

what difficulty is this Akuma playthrough on

[acidglow]

By default it's on 4 out of 8 but I lowered it to 3 and man.. it's no different. The computer is still cheap as hell. Maybe I'll try 1 or 2 someday to see if that has a difference.. this game is really hard.

[GenesisGamma6]

I really don't get why his teleport in this game needed super meter but then again, it was completely invincible from start to end so it had to get nerfed somewhere...

Too bad for no Raging Demon in this game. :(

[acidglow]

Well spiral has a grab super.. it's neat.

[Chibiherod]

No shun goku setsu eh?...bah well..those crazy Shoryukens sure make up for it o .O

[acidglow]

They used the sprites right from super turbo and he didn't have a raging demon back then. Not until the release of Super Turbo on Dreamcast which was after CotA.

[ICEGOD2]

Akuma vs Magneto. The Raging Demon vs The Master of Magnetism was sweet. Good playthrough very nice.

[DoranP900]

Nice run with Akuma. Can Akuma do his raging demon ? Akuma kicking ass and being the badass that he is.

[acidglow]

He only has the 2 super moves I showed.

[iPlaySKATE]

Nice playthrough.

I remember first playing this game, and my brother told me there was Akuma, so i flipped out immediately and became addicted to it.

The sprites for him in this game are my favorite, dunno why. o.O

[acidglow]

The sprites are from Super SF 2 Turbo which was his first appearance.

[JLW2490]

Akuma is really hard to play in this. or maybe it's because the AI's Turtling and waiting for you to screw up. Can't wait to see those tmnt fights

[acidglow]

Sentinel is the hardest of all for me. Dude has some nasty auto countering no matter what you do... I really hate the AI in this game. I only play it for magneto anyways..
