It is a 2 frame link which isn't any worse than some of Akuma's standard links. The spacing happens more often that you would expect however. It commonly comes up when someone attacks to FA your kick or if you start the kick after successfully landing an EX air fireball.
that hk - far lp link is kinda ridiculous tho. timing is super strict and spacing is tough to keep as well. At least in my experience, i very well just might suck.
It's all good, I don't expect everyone to be an Akuma expert. You can't link the HP from a close HK. His close HK is not very good so when you are in close it is better to use his punches to set up combos. His far HK can link into just about anything you want. Only exception is a c.HP. There is even a nearly infinite loop doing a HK - LP back and forth. I've seen people get 64 hit combos on Gief doing this.
Akuma has some crazy good offensive options, that is why his defense is so bad.
389 if far from Akuma's most damaging non-bar combos. For example, just from his standing hard kick you can do HK - HP(close) - BnB to get up around 400 damage. If you add a jump in to the front of that you easily get 453 damage. Also if you want to burn some meter you can change the BnB to a LK.Tatsu - LP.SRK - HP.Redball for even more insane damage. If you want to go the distance change the HP.Redball to an EX and you get an extra 15.
Does it work on everyone or is it just a select few of the roster? and surely its onlyin the corner

Except he had to burn two bubbles and an a full ultra to do that. Akuma can do nearly as much without so much as burning a single meter bubble.
