Akuma vs. Ryu
(continuing mini-series inspired by Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix)
Yup, Akuma throws a lot of air fireballs, two at a time no less. Definitely a key source of both struggle and envy. Fortunately they don't do that much damage. In a real fight I imagine it'd be infuriating to deal with someone who kept doing that, giving you pretty much no way to attack them. Then again, in a real fight people don't throw too many fireballs. Because they don't train and focus hard enough.
After finishing this strip I remembered that Evil Ryu had the teleport, "raging demon" and upgraded combo potential, but did not actually gain a jumping fireball. So it turns out Akuma's kind of a tease.
