Notes 6f extra recovery on block; good range and hitbox priority; has some juggle potential (no Hard Knockdown when juggled into); KD +37 when juggled into (like after 214LK); on block, always plays out a fixed 29f recovery (cannot be made safer with meaty timing)

Notes Safe overhead Target Combo that's great for chipping Drive gauge; puts airborne opponents into limited juggle OTG state (can be used in juggles where 5MK connects, like wallsplat or DR~5MK routes); interruptible 5f gap between hits on block (up to 8f at max delay); will not combo on final 2 cancelable frames of 5MK without CH/PC/DR starter making it very difficult to hitconfirm

Notes Puts opponents into limited juggle state (free juggle if used out of Drive Rush); upper body and kicking leg is anti-air invuln while active (frames 12-16); unreliable anti-air due to slow startup and extended vertical hurtbox before the invuln starts; being a cancelable launcher allows Akuma to juggle into Demon Raid follow-ups or charged fireballs

Notes Cannot be canceled into; travels back ~1/2 screen; no collision box on frames 15-37; no invincibility whatsoever; counter-hit state for entire duration; Distance: 2.128

Notes Total startup 31-45f depending on input timing; can be activated even after passing through opponent; 1.076 Range does not including 6KKK travel distance (maximum total range of 3.697)

Notes Solid poke with easy hitconfirm timing; TC follow-up is always a true blockstring even at max delay; more damaging than 5HK when used mid-combo due to lack of damage scaling; useful out of Drive Rush for long-range oki (e.g. after midscreen throw); extends a wider hurtbox until the end of recovery

Hit Confirm

41-42

Notes 3f extra recovery on block; always a true blockstring even at max delay; puts opponent into limited juggle state; can finish with HK ender midscreen or 623MP in the corner; stronger extensions possible on a higher juggle (like Wallsplat into 2HK or any Super); easily hitconfirmable combo extension

Notes () refers to scaled damage after 6HP~6HP combo starter; always a true blockstring even at max delay; puts opponent into limited juggle state; useful midscreen ender (623MP is stronger after a corner 6HP~6HP launch)

Notes 3f extra recovery on block, 4f extra recovery on whiff; whiffed version extends a wider hurtbox during recovery; long-range poke with great hitbox priority; good whiff punish tool that allows a link to 2HK from closer ranges, or into SA2 from around Akuma's 2MK range; safe from all reversal 4f normal even at point blank (except Zangief 2LK, which gets no follow-up)

Notes Cannot be canceled into; no collision box on frames 17-35 (can pass through opponent); no invincibility whatsoever, but passing through opponent may cause attack hitbox to whiff; counter-hit state for entire duration; frames 24-38 are cancelable into Oboro Throw follow-up; Distance: 3.663

Notes Fast air-to-air; can be used as a fuzzy instant overhead

Notes Puts airborne opponents into limited juggle state but no juggle potential on its own; lenient cancel window to juggle into j.214K/j.236P/Air SA1; lower body projectile invuln 8-23f (cannot be used to avoid the 2nd hit of JP's OD Amnesia bombs)

Notes Spike knockdown vs. airborne opponents on Counter-hit/Punish Counter; good hitbox priority for air approaches; lower body projectile invuln 9-23f except around attack hitbox (cannot be used to avoid the 2nd hit of JP's OD Amnesia bombs)

Notes Cross-up

Notes Cross-up; lower body projectile invuln 7-20f (if used immediately on the way up, can avoid the 2nd hit of JP's OD Amnesia bombs)

Notes Most horizontal range of Akuma's air normals; lower body projectile invuln 12-19f except around attack hitbox (cannot be used to avoid the 2nd hit of JP's OD Amnesia bombs)

Notes Forward Jump only on airborne frame 9-33; 1-hit projectile; dissipates if Akuma is hit; button strength determines fireball trajectory (LP ~35 degrees / MP ~45 degrees, HP ~50 degrees); on hit only, landing recovery after 2f is cancelable into any action except walking/jumping; projectile hitbox is considered an airborne attack (can be avoided with anti-air invuln moves); puts airborne opponents into free juggle state (or maintains existing juggle state); advantage varies significantly depending on timing/spacing/angle (at worst, approximately -5 oB vs. tall characters, -3 oB vs. standard characters, and unsafe on Perfect Parry; always enough hit advantage to link); foot hurtbox is projectile invuln 1f~land; upper half of hitbox only connects on opponents mid-combo

Notes Forward Jump only; 6f extra landing recovery on whiff; great tool for mixing up jump timings, especially against characters that rely on non-invincible anti-airs; much stronger hurtbox compared to other divekicks; cannot hit cross-up; all landing recovery after the first 2 frames has a crouch-sized hurtbox, and the final recovery frame is in a crouching state; kicking leg is projectile invuln on frame 14 until landing

Notes During forward jump only; can hit cross-up but does not hit overhead; puts opponent into limited juggle state; KD and block advantage depends on how high it connects; 4f less blockstun on cross-up version; Akuma is in a crouching state on frames 4-16 of landing recovery; lower foot/leg hurtbox is projectile invuln 1f~land

Notes Shin Akuma only (Back Taunt~Down Taunt); forward Jump only on airborne frame 9-33; throws 2 consecutive 1-hit fireballs (2nd fireball travels faster and farther); dissipates if Akuma is hit; fireballs travel downward at ~45 degree angle; on hit only, landing recovery after 2f is cancelable into any action except walking/jumping; projectile hitbox is considered an airborne attack (can be avoided with anti-air invuln moves); puts airborne opponents into free juggle state (or maintains existing juggle state); advantage varies significantly depending on timing/spacing/angle (at worst, approximately +5 oB vs. tall characters, +7 oB vs. standard characters, and unsafe on Perfect Parry; always enough hit advantage to link); foot hurtbox is projectile invuln 1f~land; upper half of hitbox only connects on opponents mid-combo

Notes Forward/Neutral Jump only on airborne frame 9-33; 3-hit OD projectile; dissipates if Akuma is hit; creates stationary projectile on frames 6-20, then shoots downward at ~50 degree angle (this projectile will only have 2 hits if the initial hitbox collided with opponent); on hit only, landing recovery after 2f is cancelable into any action except walking/jumping; projectile hitbox is considered an airborne attack (can be avoided with anti-air invuln moves); puts airborne opponents into free juggle state (or maintains existing juggle state); puts grounded opponents into limited juggle state; advantage varies significantly depending on timing/spacing/angle (at worst, approximately -3 oB vs. tall characters, -1 oB vs. standard characters, but +1~3 if all hits Perfect Parried); foot hurtbox is projectile invuln 1f~land; upper half of hitbox only connects on opponents mid-combo

Notes 4-hit projectile; 5f extra recovery if projectile does not make contact within the first 21 active frames; projectile speed depends on button strength; button must be held 49f to perform full charge; puts opponents into limited juggle state; extended arm hurtbox is projectile invuln while charging; has an extended leg hurtbox on frames 13~

Notes Button strength determines trajectory (LK short, MK mid, HK far); counter-hit state for entire duration; cancelable into follow-ups on frames 18-40; on frame 41, automatically transitions to Demon Low Slash (or Demon Swoop if holding Down)

Notes 5f extra recovery on whiff; button strength determines angle (LK short, MK mid, HK far); puts airborne opponents into limited juggle state (or maintains juggle state if used mid-combo); extends a large projectile invincible hurtbox on frame 11 until landing (making the divekick easier to anti-air while still being useful for avoiding fireballs)

Notes 5f extra recovery on whiff; button strength determines angle (LK short, MK mid, HK far); puts airborne opponents into limited juggle state (or maintains juggle state if used mid-combo); extends a large projectile invincible hurtbox on frame 11 until landing (making the divekick easier to anti-air while still being useful for avoiding fireballs)

Notes Overhead with many active frames, making it good for meaty pressure; strong hitbox and mid-air pause makes it more difficult to anti-air; cannot hit cross-up; frames 4-8 of landing recovery have a crouch-sized hurtbox (but still standing)

Notes 4f extra recovery on whiff; recovery is in a crouching state until the final frame (final 5f on whiff); causes Akuma to auto-correct if Demon Raid crosses up; can be spaced for better frame advantage

Notes Tracks opponent's location regardless of distance; counter-hit state for entire duration; cancelable into follow-ups on frames 16-40 (16-38 for Fireball/Tatsu and Air SA1 follow-ups); on frame 41, automatically transitions to Demon Low Slash (or Demon Swoop if holding Down)

Notes Can be input on frame 16-38 of 236KK (unless Gou Hadoken is on-screen); does not consume additional Drive gauge; cannot hit cross-up or against grounded opponents; stops Akuma's air momentum; performs final kick on hit only, which slams opponent down into a limited juggle OTG state; KD advantage depends on how high it connects (useful after 4HK launch, allowing most juggle enders to combo); Akuma is in a crouching state on frames 4-10 of landing recovery; lower foot/leg hurtbox is projectile invuln 1f~land

Notes 3-hit OD projectile; can be input on frame 16-38 of 236KK (unless Gou Hadoken is on-screen); does not consume additional Drive gauge; dissipates if Akuma is hit; creates stationary projectile on frames 6-20, then shoots downward at ~50 degree angle (this projectile will only have 2 hits if the initial hitbox collided with opponent); on hit only, landing recovery after 2f is cancelable into any action except walking/jumping; projectile hitbox is considered an airborne attack (can be avoided with anti-air invuln moves); puts airborne opponents into free juggle state (or maintains existing juggle state); puts grounded opponents into limited juggle state; advantage varies significantly depending on timing/spacing/angle; foot hurtbox is projectile invuln 1f~land

Notes () refers to scaled damage from 214PP combo starter; 6f extra recovery on block; cannot come out on whiff; true blockstring from 214PP even at max delay; sends opponent to the edge of the screen for a wallsplat unless SA2 wallsplat occurred earlier in the combo (much less KD advantage, around +26~33); grounded wallsplat puts opponent into free juggle state (limited juggle state vs. airborne); allows a follow-up juggle if near the corner; KD advantage varies significantly depending on distance from corner

Notes During forward jump only; cannot hit cross-up or against grounded opponents; stops Akuma's jump momentum; performs final kick on hit only, which slams opponent down into a limited juggle OTG state (combos into 623LP/MP/PP on lower connect, but more lenient after high connect like j.MP > j.214KK); KD advantage depends on how high it connects; Akuma is in a crouching state on frames 4-16 of landing recovery; lower foot/leg hurtbox is projectile invuln 1f~land

Notes Forward Jump only on airborne frame 9-33; 1-hit projectile; dissipates if Akuma is hit; button strength determines fireball trajectory (LP ~35 degrees / MP ~45 degrees, HP ~50 degrees); on hit only, landing recovery after 2f is cancelable into any action except walking/jumping; projectile hitbox is considered an airborne attack (can be avoided with anti-air invuln moves); puts airborne opponents into free juggle state (or maintains existing juggle state); advantage varies significantly depending on timing/spacing/angle (at worst, approximately -5 oB vs. tall characters, -3 oB vs. standard characters, and unsafe on Perfect Parry; always enough hit advantage to link); foot hurtbox is projectile invuln 1f~land; upper half of hitbox only connects on opponents mid-combo

Notes Available at 25% HP or below; cinematic time regenerates ~2.3 Drive bars for Akuma; command grab that can be comboed into on grounded opponents; entire startup happens before the Super freeze, making the grab inescapable if the opponent is within throw range; very short range makes it unable to punish most -6 attacks; Range does not include travel distance (max total distance 2.927); generally impractical as a fireball counter due to the slow travel speed and input requirement (unless opponent has a much slower fireball recovery, or a chargeable fireball that can easily be reacted to)

Notes 5-hit Super projectile; projectile speed is not affected by button strength; can be used while OD projectiles are on-screen; slower startup allows opponents (except Dhalsim/Lily/Zangief) to avoid with a jump after the screen freeze

Notes 5-hit Super projectile; projectile speed is not affected by button strength; can be used while OD projectiles are on-screen; slower startup allows opponents (except Dhalsim/Lily/Zangief) to avoid with a jump after the screen freeze

Notes Sends the opponent tumbling ~1/3 screen; causes wallsplat near corner (unless 214PP~6P wallsplat occurred earlier in the combo); the cinematic resets the opponent's juggle counter, allowing a follow-up wallsplat juggle regardless of previous juggle state; wallsplat is similar to Drive Impact, allowing moves to juggle that normally would not be possible; close-range opponent cannot jump away after the Super freeze to avoid chip damage

Notes Available at 25% HP or below; cinematic time regenerates ~2.3 Drive bars for Akuma; command grab that can be comboed into on grounded opponents; entire startup happens before the Super freeze, making the grab inescapable if the opponent is within throw range; very short range makes it unable to punish most -6 attacks; Range does not include travel distance (max total distance 2.927); generally impractical as a fireball counter due to the slow travel speed and input requirement (unless opponent has a much slower fireball recovery, or a chargeable fireball that can easily be reacted to)
