Uh, yes... your eyes must have been faulty. Try watching it again.

Akuma looks bad ass!

[[NIUE] weazzyefff]

I'd say man. Screw taskmaster look at Akuma!!! he looks mean as. RD was a bit short and sweet though.

deadpool is giving me some mad cable vibes

guess ill be joining the rest of the masses

Hmmm Akuma looked cool as always but wasn't as satisfying. It looked like SGS  was fully invincible though so that could get interesting. I very much doubt SGS and go-shoryureppa will be 0 frame startup like previous games and tenma zankuu was disappointing that they cloned it from ryu rather than him throwing lots of fireballs which looks cooler and different from all the other beam supers. I hope he still gets tatsu assist and it stays the same as mvc2 though. Was hoping his divekick was gonna be faster I at least hope it's an overhead

Akuma looks boring.  Taskmaster at the moment seems kinda interesting.

Looks like he has both

Wow that's kinda weird having ground and air fireball/beam supers. Air tatsu glitch seems to be gone lol but he deals a shitload of damage off a hit confirmable low and what looks like an overhead divekick (though wolvie's one isn't overhead so I wouldn't be surprised). One thing that will really make it feel more like marvel to me is to have the tatsu assist exactly the same as mvc2 and I think even mshvsf it worked like that (although your character had to do a taunt to pull out an assist and then you didn't get much time, so really I'd like to see it put them in block stun but just not enough so each hit can be mixed up on, I think that's how it worked. Wanna get some crazy Wesker teleports and X-23 hops to mix it up for maybe even unblockables if that's how it works.

Oh yeah air fireball super still looked cooler in xmen vs street fighter, this one can barely tell the fireballs apart. xvsf, mshvsf and mvc2 all had awesome looking ones, mvc1 wasn't as good iirc but this one is the ugliest by far.

Akuma looks pretty boring. Hes got nothing new and interesting. Hes got mad combo potential, but his mobility doesnt seem that great, and it looks like hes not gonna have an answer to keepaway besides trying to air fireball all day. Nice that Demon doesnt look useless like in MVC2 though. And I love all the scrubs on SRK being like "OMG AKUMA IS RUSHDOWN KING" and im sitting there thinking that half the cast probably have better rushdown possibilities than what weve seen there.

Comboability is awesome, and it looks like he has it in spades (demon flip palm bouncing = infinite potential imo) but it doesnt mean shit if you cant actually get in and do stuff. Divekick being safe on block like it is in MVC2 would help. Hes definitely got SOME potential, but hes just a big yawn imo. If his assist is as good as MVC2 he will probably make a nice assist character. KKZ as his winpose is a cool addition. He looks like he'll be pretty good, just pretty boring at the same time.

Taskmaster im more interested in, just because hes new i think. But it looks like he suffers the same faults. He does have A LOT more range on his normals than Akuma though, which makes up for some of his shortcomings.  Interesting that you can loop his mighty swing.  I wonder if spidey is similar? And id like to see how many times it can be done. Looking at it i would guess you could do a few more reps juggling with different normals when the opponents height changes. He looks really strong at mid range. Similar to Dante in that regard.

TBH at this point I just want to see some fucking assists. I've said it 1000 times. Assists will make or break A LOT of these characters. Especially these to. And ESPECIALY Akuma by the looks of it.

so does having akuma in here make ryu redundent ?
