Like dude, I don't understand, how is that above gonna help him beat Akuma?
okay, the fact that he can parry bullets means that he can dodge about anything that akuma will throw at him. the fact that he can smack bahamut down with a single swing shows that he's capable enough to do the same with Gouki, considering that gouk isn't several stories tall nor is he several hundred kilos in weight...if not tons. the fact that he can swing his sword fast enough to parry supercharged bullets means that he can hack off at akuma with relative ease.
Have you seen the Alpha movie and how Ryu vaporized his foes wit...Gou Hadoukens, weaker than those of Akuma, have you ever seen Akuma even throw a Gou Hadouken wit the intent to kill before?
for one, capcom said that SFA movie shows how the characters would "fight" outside of the realm of the games. basically referring to them flying around and defying gravity for the bulk of the movie. the fact that they were disintegrating people with hadouken DIRECTLY contradicts their initial remark about hadouken feeling like being hit with a well-landed kick.
Oh wait, my fault, Akuma SUNK AN ISLAND and SPLIT AYERS ROCK wit a punch, not a person, my bad. Cuz Cloud has clearly shown the feats necessary to make the assumption that he's more durable than a friggin mountain. I'll try to forget that Cloud has been penetrated with bullets and swords through out the FF7 series, unlike mountains. LOL
very funny.
fact of the matter is, he did that with his self-proclaimed, self-confessed "ultimate technique". it wasn't a "single punch" as much as it was a ki based move that literally was his strongest move to date. you are making it sound like its his regular punch. which it isn't. clearly. besides, the chances of him landing THAT punch on cloud is one in a million considering cloud's speed and the time it takes gouki to actually pull it off.
and lastly, he never actually has been said to sink an island. the island just "disappeared". so stop right there because what capcom meant by the island "disappearing" is vague.
what ever you say buddy, unless Cloud has the power necessary to cut Akuma he wont be hackin anything. And last time I played the game Cloud's sword can't replicate the pressure of 3000 leagues in the sea, which still wouldn't cut it cuz...akuma survived it
once again, withstanding pressure is miles away from being cut. you're not making any sense .
But what ever, you stick wit Cloud cuz you hate Akuma, I'll stick wit Akuma cuz it's correct logic.
no its not.
lol, but Ryu is shown that he is capable, wit WEAKER versions of AKUMA's moves. So that pretty much closes the above argument.
ryu's hadouken is stronger than akuma's. that's the only move of ryu which is actually stronger than akuma's. on top of that, you don't disintegrate people with well landed kicks....which happens to be the description of hadouken FROM CAPCOM in an interview with its officials.
interview with official>>licensed anime.
Are you sure that you know what the hell you talkin 'bout? If bodies are crushed at 2000 leagues and Akuma is kickin battle ships to the surface at 3000, do you know how hard and fast Cloud would have to swing to hack off one of his limbs...it have to be a whole lot better than what he has shown so far. Hell he would have to move so fast that we couldn't even see him for 90% of the battle.
localized pressure is a different ball park. the edge of a blade pressed against your skin is a different ball park then being pushed against a metal wall.
and don't start assuming how fast he needs to move either.
the best example i can come up with is the fact that wonderwoman can take blows from berserk superman but still can get peirced by ordinary bullets.
What? Akuma aint no Goku but I don't think I ever seen dude even get his skin pierced, I take that back, he bled from his mouth after gettin his ass kicked by Gouken in the UDON comic when he was younger...if that counts for anything.
he lost to Gen aswell. but that's another story.
you dont' see his skin peirced cuz for the most part of it he's never directly involved in any story.
So that automatically means it's slow as hell? Pleez.
slow as hell compared to a bullet. yes. even in your beloved SFA the hadouken never travelled that fast..........in fact, that was one thing that surprised me considering the load of bull that movie was actually showing.
And that doesn't sound like an official source to me cuz SFEC(an official source) says Akuma's moves can kill instantaneously so once again, do you know what your talkin 'bout or are you just against Akuma cuz your biased as hell and you want deeply in your heart for him to lose, so much so that him losing makes no sense?
no need to start flaming. calm down, its just a videogame.
akuma's moves can kill instantaneously, i know. that however doesn't mean that he can disintegrate people as you've been saying all this time nor is it saying anything about it being stronger than ryu's or weaker for that matter. all its saying is that he can kill. and we all know he can. yet, he never managed to kill anyone worth speaking (not talking about SGS on Bison). ryu and ken's moves are also "lethal" moves but neither of those two have killed anyone either. ryu couldn't even kill Hugo who is midtier character with his ULTIMATE move.
and that's where you'll understand something:
just cuz a move is called lethal or whatever doesn't mean it can actually kill a real fighter. those moves can kill ordinary people. if it could, ryu wouldn't have survived his fight with gouki, adon would've died when ryu smacked him with the shoryuken in SF1, ken would have died three times over by now considering the amount of fighting he's done with ryu. heck, sakura and karin kanzuki also fought ken and didn't die.
to go back to the question: who has akuma killed "instantaneously" anyway?
no one.
Cuz he doesn't intend to kill people with it.
evil ryu says otherwise. even evilryu with all his satsui no hadou, wasn't able to kill sagat. that's your hint to stop taking everything for granted.
think about it, Art of fighting and KoF moves are called lethal moves, super deadly and murderous as well. no one dies there either.
Dee Dee Deeee.
grow up
Saiki and Tiamat must be your only sources and what do you know, none of them work for Capcom!
and the SFA anime was only licensed. besides Saiki has interviewd the officials there.
1. Bullets don't travel at the same speed forever, and some don't even top soundspeed. And the fact that Cloud's swords are giant makes it easier to block them since he has the strength to wield it.
you're missing the point. the bullets were shot from point blank range or very close by. i know bullets don't top sound speed. cloud was parrying the bullets upclose and from far away. in fact, when he was close by he was swatting them away...if cloud was standing behind his sword, i'd say so. but he wasn't. he was smacking them away or parrying them.
2. Misogi is instant and will one shot Cloud, it is the mountain cracking move to a more focused extent.
wasn't that move only done by "orochi akuma" in CvsSNK2 only? my memory's vague at the moment.
3. Gou Hadoukens incinerated people apparently when used by Ryu, they can with Gouki as well. Bahamut Sin would be kicked in half by Gouki
probably. gouhadouken or hadoukens don't incinerate. never did. SFA movie was noncanon and directly contradicts interviews with capcom officials which stated that hadouken feels like being hit by a well landed kick.
case in point: ryu can incinerate people with punches and kicks...but couldnt KO midtier Hugo. he didn't even scar him. also, why didn't sagat just disintegrate when evil ryu did the MESTU-shoryuken on him?
