1. Akuma Equipment Core Mechanics and Basics
Drive Impact command correction: The charged attack command is Drive Impact, and it can be used to parry during combos.
Can use Goshoryuken immediately during combos.
Basics: Three square attacks followed by a Hadoken at the end will interrupt the combo; stop after two square attacks.
2. Key Techniques and Combos
Square then three triangle attacks (finishing with Kongou Kokuretsuzan) is average.
Square, square, triangle, triangle, circle, three triangle attacks is the most effective.
3. Evasion Gear and Mounting Attack Tips
Evasion gear grants a follow-up attack buff after evading, not increased invincibility frames.
How to increase mounting attack success rate: Hold triangle during the jumping attack.
4. Maximizing Jumping Attack Damage (Greatsword)
Greatsword only: Wound the monster's head and back, then detonate the wound to maximize damage.
Wounding is done with the triangle and R1 combination; detonate the wound by inputting a different wound direction.
May be inefficient in the Akuma arena due to the time it takes.
