ASSISTS

GOHADOUKEN (90k)

Shot - Front

Just a standard fireball assist, but is still useful for characters lacking a projectile. Otherwise it doesn’t see much use because it is so bread and butter.

TATSUMAKI ZANKUKYAKU (116k)

Direct - Front

Akumas go-to assist, since it is incredibly good at applying pressure and is very versatile. You can use this assist on pretty much every team and it will be useful since it lasts a long time giving you free mixups/lockdown. This assist also destroys projectiles so this can just blow through most projectiles and give you a free combo. This is also an extremely good combo extender since it causes soft knockdown. Overall best reason to put Akuma on your team.

HYAKKI GOJIN (90k)

Direct - Tilt Down

This is Akumas dive kick assist, it is a very good tool to use to create unblockables because it hits high, but Akumas Tatsu assist is so good that it just overshadows this. You can also use this to ground bounce airborne opponents extending some combos, but overall tatsu is preferable in almost every situation.
