Akuma's Tatsu is broken

[furballxsnowie]

Question, whats that move that bounces at :04 and how do i do it, i've been trying to find out how to do it for a while now, but no luck yet, Please help, thanks~

[crazyangrygaming]

@furballxsnowie dragon punch backwards x x

[checksdamail]

surprise! a projectile pulls you out of a move?

[YungMalThaKid]

misleading title is misleading

the hurricane kick properties havent changed since

[MrGeassR2]

Thats good so no one can say you spammed me with Akuma. Wolverine/Akuma/Zero 4th LORD

[jump12man]

If u kno when to use it tatsu is his best move

[TheBoredomOtaku]

@jump12man That applies to every move in he game....

[frostman124]

doom's does not beat akuma's tatsu BULLSHIT WITH LOAF CRAP!

[Alavistaven2012]

So what's the track called? music music!?

[JFrenchFries]

So basically, don't touch the electricity, right?

[JoseChaps]

I love Amaterasu's super: Au au au au au au au!!! :D

[DrewbusDumbledouche]

Haha. The tatsu was never really hard to punish. Most players who random tatsu like that generally suck at this game. Though it's fun to find a ridiculous amount of ways to punish them for their crap.

[kinggreg41189]

fuck thos tatsu spamers

[Thouther]

What is this song

?

[zeo94]

Is there anywhere to find that first song? I've been looking anywhere with no luck. And yeah I know the name of the song, still it looks rare.

[oreo311]

@zeo94 I think I grabbed it off galbadia hotel, I'm 80% sure, but I don't remember

[zeo94]

@oreo311 The main site? Or the forums? If I can't find the song standalone a better idea would be looking for the album it's from, a name would be good.

[oreo311]

@zeo94 "beatmania ANI-SONGS MIX featuring Tatsunoko Pro". Track number 2

[zeo94]

@oreo311 Thanks, and sorry for all the trouble.

[oreo311]

@zeo94 it's cool

[kensogoiinAmerica]

good but I need a way to deal with it when its being spammed in my face!

this guy fight most of the time always uses akuma no matter what and always as the last character so he can use lv3 xfac.

off topic this bastard I fight most of the time only uses 7-9 characters, pretty much paying $60 for 9 characters.

[Tekken6Beast]

what dumb ass would do a regular tatsu in front of u like that.

[oreo311]

@Tekken6Beast quite a bit actually, it's surprising, pretty much akin to wakeup supers and all that jazz

[ASDisastersama]

@oreo311 I know what you mean, but tekken6beast is quite right, high ranked players wont throw tatsu from middle screen. I would like to see an air tatsu video and also expecting Marvel side.

[oreo311]

@ASDisastersama Air tatsus would be worth looking into, honestly I find his demon flip a bit stronger than tatsu, but I don't see it used that much...oh well, gonna hang out in training

[frizlefry]

The problem I have with Akuma's tatsu isn't punishing it when he's on screen doing it by himself. It's trying to punish it with Sentinel drone assist or Haggar larriat on screen or when the point character is, say, Taskmaster doing Spidey Swing in my face with Akuma tatsu assist. This is good information to have but the impossible wall of cheese the tatsu presents in conjunction with some other overpowered moves is really killing my enthusiasm for playing.

[icyrazor]

Where's Spiderman???? Do spidey NAO!

[SeasOfCheese929]

Cool video, bro. Now make one showing how to beat tatsu when wolverine is rushing your ass down.

[DrkVrtx]

@SeasOfCheese929 lol so true -_-

[madskizophrenik]

This is really helpful...I didnt even know half of those attacks could beat that infamous tatsu...thanks a lot!!! :)

[Shindrah09]

A lot of these I don't think are very applicable, Or are just common knowledge. I can use this move with a disjointed hitbox to hit akuma while he's doing tatsu? NO WAY!

The useful ones more than make up for it though, good job.

[FinderofNemo]

I think you've proved your point, my friend.

[llz22]

you forgot to mention the following

2>1

rock beats scissors

chris beats rihanna

[evilweevle]

why would an akuma throw out full screen tatsus? those ones are easy to punish try it at point blank where its impossible to react to without getting stuffed

plus the fact that you can see when the "playback" button appears on the screen meaning the author knows EXACTLY when the tatsu is coming as he just pressed the damn button!

[oreo311]

@evilweevle Not anymore, there is a way to punish tatsus regardless of strength and even on reaction from anywhere on the screen, because of reception I hopped in training and got something working, I'll see when I can get it up.

[xyanide1986]

@evilweevle

Hey can you see all those advancing guard into normal/launcher punishes? You do have a point but I think he included them for the sake of having everything.

[evilweevle]

[Link1209]

But wtf do I do with Sentinel? :(

Frying pan/j.h seems ok but that's not good up close.

[frodo8888]

people actually have problems beating akuma's tatsu? lol?

[TheArmOS]

How could you leave out straight Bionic arm to blow up the tatsu?

[SuperSiegeBros]

Music? Please.

[n0b34ts]

@SuperSiegeBros

I was wondering the same thing. Mostly for the last track that starts around the 7:00 minute marker.

[smartb0mb]

@SuperSiegeBros music please!

[rokninja]

LOL that title is pretty damn awesome.  ^_^

Good vid.

[SonicBoom91]

Some of these comments are ridiculous. the title is sarcasm. The move is obviously not broken if there's an 11 minute video of moves that beat it.

[SpadeHand]

THANK YOU.

[edwinzee]

What if Akuma cancels out of the hurricane kick into super fireball?

[oreo311]

@edwinzee Then chances are you aren't fighting a stupid player and this video doesn't apply. Yes, this entire video no longer applies. It's just that people do stupid stuff and don't get punished for it, so they keep doing it, and people who aren't as good at the game fall for it, and it becomes a never ending cycle. so this video is for the people who aren't sure what to do in that scenario

[edwinzee]

@oreo311 Ah, ok. I'm not very good at the game yet, but this video is definitely super helpful for people like me against people who just abuse Akuma (especially in assist form). I only asked my question because I thought the best way to counter Akuma's hurricane kick with Taskmaster was his Counter Super but then ate a super fireball in my face haha

[oreo311]

@edwinzee Perfectly fine, once his super comes out, you're pretty much playing a meter game and waiting for him to blow it all or you're using a super with invincibility. In assist form it's really hard to punish, on rare occasions I've been able to punch him out of it, but it's difficult

[warmachine782]

yea def broken lol anyways u wanna kno a broken hitbox chuns legs are broken

[tuber52]

umm for wesker you did cr.L ->st. H to punish the tatsu without pushblock right? at around 9:47

[nyagamun]

@tuber52

he did the cr. L before he had to block, so it has to be more reactionary than "punish" I assume

[tuber52]

@nyagamun well the way they set it up it would be a punish because he did the tatsu from a far kinda

[ukyorulz]

Most of these don't seem to be punishes in the sense of "I saw my opponent do a Tatsu so now I do X to punish". You have to guess right that the opponent will do a Tatsu, and for the push-block punishes it seems you have to guess what strength Tatsu they used as well. Still, there are some true gems in there. My favorite was Chun Li legs.

[RamsusXIII]

Wow, what are the songs?

[oreo311]

@RamsusXIII Tensai Dorombo Arrangement from Anisongs and Tomboy Arrangement from the Street Fighter III: Second Impact OST.

[frzstylez]

c. viper?

[oreo311]

@frzstylez I recorded her but forgot her during the editing...phase..thingie

[yetitracterbeam]

block tatsu xfactor then kill akuma

[DeviantProtagonist]

Whelp, some of these are rather obvious; time to bang my head over it.

[thenewmc2]

As an Akuma player, thank you for this video. I'm sick of people whining about the hurricane kick, and your video will be doing everyone a favor by showing them how to shut the fuck up and just punish it.

[FROG55JQN]

finally been waiting for this

[BlackJehuty]

How is the Tatsu broken? If you take it away it leaves Akuma with nothing really. They've already nerfed him by giving him laughably low health, then they tweak the Tatsu, and people still wanna complain about it.

[OffBeatOddity01]

@BlackJehuty I don't think it was really meant to be taken as "It's broken, fix it/remove it"

It's broken as in "there's a way to counter it, everyone stop complaining".

[AvengerofWarcraft]

And the Marvel side of it in all this?

[Bynoe]

Thumbs up if you want a video on beating Wolverine's dive-kick!

[Matsute]

@Bynoe I want to see a video on how to beat Wolverine, not only his dive kick. :o

[H3XxMAjiN]

thanks. i hate that tatsu spam

[Humbag]

wow people had a problem with this lol

[MrEmperorX]

Level 3 x factor Akuma all you have to do his this to kill one character.

Tatsu and the hyper beam and that's one character down and on with the next one lol. That's why they need to get rip of that level 3 x factor.

[RoyalGreenTea]

I still hate this move so goddamn much.

But thanks, you're saving me valuable time in trainingsmode!

[Dothan352]

Akuma's Tatsu was broken.

[nega90]

What's the second track if you don't mind? Great vid btw, I see this abused so much and I feel helpless when I see it.

[oreo311]

@nega90 Tomboy from SFIII:Second Impact. It's an arrangement off the SFIII OST.

[sngoku]

Sentinel's Launcher IS broken!

[Alrikir]

I fear the Tatsu no more!

Thanks Pops~!

[trogoldito]

Thank you. This will definitely help against that ridiculous move. I imagine that a lot of these will not work when he is in x-factor lvl 3 though, right?

Looking forward to the Marvel side. I know Taskmaster's j. H beats it straight out. With Dormmamu I pushblock then chaotic flame, but what are his options once he's in the corner?

[oreo311]

@trogoldito Do you mean Akuma in the corner? or you in the corner? with you in the corner, you have to AG and jump out, you cannot punish it outside of random supers (Unless I'm doing something wrong). With him in the corner, it's virtually the same as midscreen punishes.

[BiGShell]

vid shouldve been split into two, with the missing characters. Idk, 11 minutes is too long to watch a tatsu get punished over, and over, and over again is boring.

[oreo311]

@BiGShell point of the video is to see how to punish tatsu, and everyone has different punishes to it so I went ahead and attempted to include all I could, it's for the people who aren't really sure what to do when pressured

[BiGShell]

@oreo311 im aware of that and I promote tis video; I just said it was too long. 

[Kazooker]

That was eleven minutes of pure joy. I HATE that move.

What was the first track you used in the video?

[oreo311]

@Kazooker Even though it doesn't sound like it, it's a remix of Tensai Dorombo by Konami via the Beatmania team.

It's off the Tatsunoko anisongs album

[fdcf13]

You're a godsend. This is the best mvc3-related video, maybe the most important youtube video ever.

[DukeP00L]

@fdcf13 This must be oreo311's second account lol

[jamheald]

You missed out Viper. Oh and for Jill her Feral H has invincibility so there's an obvious one, and she can clearly teleport to avoid.

[oreo311]

@jamheald whoops, I recorded Viper too and somehow forgot to put her in...oh well, her focus attack destroys it

[jamheald]

@oreo311 Oh yeah.

[Denvis001]

Now people can't complain :D
