Love the modern Akuma, but I was hoping that to differentiate him in the future a bit more, maybe borrowing his heavy Tatsu or ex Zanku Hadoken wouldn't be a bad idea, just to make him feel a bit more new and fresh as well. Otherwise as usual great work

Ah, that sounds good. And yeah, Geese is great, I was just wondering if he'd have changes in his moves since I remember some stuff about him that I personally found kind of iffy, like the behavior of EX Reppuken and the lack of recovery time after an OTG grab like there is in KOF / Real Bout.

I was playing Waku Waku 7 for the first time recently and I really liked the mechanic in that game where you could get up attacking (kinda like Tekken), and I decided I want to make it a function of this game, but I can't decide if it should be an Offense Meter thing or Defense Meter. I would think Defense right? Any thoughts?

Also, if I add that I feel like I need one more feature for the other bar to even it out. Right now the meter functions are:

OFFENSE

Offense Drive - Full Bar
EX Move - 1/3 Bar
Guard Crush - 1/4 Bar

DEFENSE

Defense Drive - Full Bar
Guard Cancel Attack - Half Bar
Guard Cancel Dash - 1/4 Bar

So I'm thinking the Wake Up Attack could be 1/3 Defense bar, and whatever I come up for Offense could be a Half bar, so then each meter has a function for 1/4,1/3,Half and Full bar. Maybe something like a Roman Cancel? Or maybe Offense Arts could have two levels? Ideas and thoughts are welcome!

EDIT: I was also thinking about making it so that Defense Drives can be done during the wakeup state (5120)

Can I also ask any questions about characters that haven't been updated/released yet?

I guess that's relevant since they will all be updated in this thread.

Quick Akuma update to fix him still being able to use Kongou Kokuretsu Zan in Modern Mode.
Redownload.

Oh, I missed this one.

After playing, I noticed the startup delay for Gouhadou is kind of long. (beside of Shin Akuma of course)
I'm not an Akuma specialist, but this is not the feeling I had in CVS2 or SF3.3.

Again, I'm certainly not the person to give a feedback about it.
Anyone can tell if you feel the same?

Just Gohadou or Messatsu Gohadou? Startups seem fine to me, compared to the likes of Ryu and co.

Sorry,
I typed the wrong move name.
This one:
"Zanku Hadoken" / Air Fireball

Why have 2 folders in archive?

Would the new update apply to his shin form as well cuz I believe things handle differently for that version.

I'm also conflicted by Custom Combo becoming 2 Bars. I understand that it got more time, but I feel like it needs something else to be more viable in a real match, like being able to cancel into it.

Custom Combos have dominated every game they were in, so they're hardly not viable, hehe. To me, with one bar they can be overpowered as Custom Combos always find a way to be. With three bars I'd rather just do a Shin Shoryuken or whatever. 2 bars is just right.

I'm also working on a bonus character, a sort of Akuma to Sasuke and Quavon if you think of them as the game's Ryu and Ken. I may hold off on including him to incentivize people downloading the update for the story stuff.
