[bestsnowboarderuknow]

Holy shit

[TubeKnow]

0:51-1:10 whats your inputs? any shorcuts?

[daneparsonslf]

I do a similar warm up, however I need to work on zoning/mind games.

[PURPLExHAZE514]

i dont understand y after say a LP/LP/LK/L-tatsu/L-shory/FADC/­Fierce-haduken wen u can do a fierce-shory/FADC/fierce-haduk­en??

[DatKiDdT]

dude....u suck. jk :D

[NEzodLau]

nice~!

[dislilmienboi]

do you know how when the sweep kick u after low tatsumaki i dont get it i see it alot i cant execute it

[sprinter223]

i've been looking for a character to second for a while now and your sexy akuma combos are making me want to give him a go. cool video

[coxjohn]

these are really good videos, I never thought of using a tatsu overhead that's really cool

[SOSprodigy]

for a reset to continue is there a specific order or can you just use c.MK the whole time

[mindfuldex]

nice vid man.

[DemonFalux]

Just a question, but how do you determine if an Ex-Tatsu in the corner will spin them towards or away from the corner?

[thearrah]

@DemonFalux good ?

[vikas]

You got mad execution.

[Charloufz]

impressive :E

What about the next akuma warmup video for being able to warmup on this video ? ^^

awesome ^^

[RevolutionHipHop]

whats the name of the song man its awesome

[Peyre]

amazing combos!!

[kenreppa02]

What is your button settings on the stick?

Me using:

up row: MP - MK - HK - 3K

bottom row: LP - LK - HP - 3P

but this is hard for FADC for me :(

[lordofultima]

@kenreppa02 That's the strangest thing I've ever heard. Mine is normal:

LP - MP - HP

LK - MK - HK

No 3P or 3K assigned. I don't recommend mixing and matching punches and kicks.

[kenreppa02]

Ok, thx a lot i now try this settings and seems like better. I play SF more than 10 years with my gamepad and now with new gamestick i'am so lame :/ Your vids. are good start for me. thx much for that

[Hapsmash]

@kenreppa02 Wow dude, how did you start using this setting? Its really weird. Never seen it before.

[xonememorylostx]

the song is great and your videos are great.

[V8Interseptor]

Good stuff

[MysteryAC]

*sees the massive combos*

YES! *zoom in* YES!

[nivlekgnow]

your execution is ON POINT

[YogaFlame24]

U call that a warm up! thats intense man

[leonardobb]

Nice video Ultima, i've started doing this too lately, and having a guide all made out for me by a great Akuma player is a great thing.

PS.: What's the name of the song?

[lordofultima]

@leonardobb in the info

[leonardobb]

oops, sorry, i was looking for it at the end of the description. Thanks!

[skd1337]

you are so awesome! your execution is outstanding. I am an akuma player with a few vids up and I would love any tips/advice you could offer if you get the time.

[teentekken]

How did you cancel a special move to make your own kombos?

[lordofultima]

@teentekken Focus Attack Dash Cancel

[ryoaska1]

shit dude your execution is monstrous. I didn't even think about doing those repeating combos strung together with FADCs for practice, that's a really good idea.

[Donkeyknifer]

Pretty nice video, I should start doing this ^^.  Do you use auto-block on the dummy?

[lordofultima]

No, although I should. I use random block to practice my hit-confirms, something I didn't cover for whatever reason in this video.

[BakerCk6]

heh needing to practice confirms for sf4

[buffmanuy]

I really admire your timings, what do you use for playing? pad or keyboard?

[lordofultima]

Neither, I use an arcade stick.

[buffmanuy]

Which one? I saw it on Combatory Part 1, looks great :o

[Foggy2820]

Nice vid, nice song to go with it aswell. I tend to do the same sort of stuff when I warm up, pick a shoto and practice their combos and FADC to get going.

I have never really practiced resets so I will try and add them to my play style.

[d3capitat3dbodyz]

man akuma resets are a must if you wanna kick ass with him there not that hard to do offline but online i have problems sometimes

[11thgamer]

dame dude sick combos, i need ur help man, i play with akuma also, but get my ass whooped most of the times though on the psn. I hate that ps3 controller, 360 handle better for me though.

[dsreyfhudjeu]

NICE.:p

[gHOztZzZ]

Why do you plink HK~LP on the HK loop? wouldn't it be easier to use HK~MK after the jab

[lordofultima]

No, it wouldn't be easier at all. My hands don't have to move at all if I plink HK~LP and LP~HK. I'd have to use more fingers and hand movement to do it your way.

[xsly15]

what is a plink? and is there a video that covers that?

[desperial]

how practical is much of the extended combos?

I cant even get the "round house light punch sagat" combo to work online.

[lordofultima]

They're all pretty practical or I wouldn't do them.

[xsly15]

holy **** VERY NICE

[hunts19792205]

awesome i need to learn this stuff any pointers ???

[SilverSkyline92]

my friends think im lame when i tell them i have to warm up...then i end up with the W, and im glad im not the only one that warms up lol

[PJDxyz]

awesome, thank you so much for zploading this vid!

[AyoChap]

dude that's intense how long do you practice for each session?

[lordofultima]

This routine can go on for 30 minutes or more if I'm just chatting it up on Xbox Live.

[xsly15]

like how are you able to link it so consistently, i probably get it down to 5 hits maybe on 2/5 tries x.x any tips?

[shufflespack]

very pro

[TheAcidHairball]

That is one extensive warm up.

[Vito126]

good stuff, the loop is quite hard for me to do

[FeeldaFia]

mind making a mini shoto crossup tatsu tutorial? i always get stuffed on the timing + knowing which strength to pick

[joeshgamespot]

Great stuff, you make me wanna play akuma.

[KiLLaHQuEeNZz]

Your execution is very good.

[201bangas]

now this is what i call a shoto player! beast akuma tima

[RajmanHDGaming]

Hey have you got the Tsujinrai mastered yet?

[lordofultima]

I wish man, every time I do one I feel like I'm inflicting horrible nerve damage on my right hand. haha.

[xsly15]

i was wondering how do you do the loop? i can never get it to connect

[z2akuma]

still cant figure out how to sweep after the hurricane. Do you play on PC at all? im a solid akuma player

[TECxGamingChannel]

Dude the whole thing was pro, but the reset part was too pro. Nice video.

[MrCookTM]

Nice vid, dude. my practicing sessions are mostly similar to this, except for the things i don't use in a match (i.e. the most resets, i only use the HP(c) one). I got a question about your plinking method for HK-LP loop: if you plink the LP(f) with LP~HK, shouldn't a HK come out, since the registration of the input on the second frame should be LP+HK and the character throws out the hardest normal of the input? or am i wrong?

Greetings from germany

[lordofultima]

Plinking LP~HK, the input display would look like this:

LP+HK

LP

Since the LP registers on it's own, the LP comes out. Prioritizing normals only comes into play when you hit two attacks of different levels simultaneously (such as LP+MP, when you're doing kara demon).

[MrCookTM]

Okay thx man, i'll try this @home.
