How do I enforce pressure as Akuma. Dudes normals are either hella stubby or minus
Cr.hp is like +3 and has reasonable range. Use your fireballs intelligentlt as well, throwing from that kind of dead zone where they can't react to them.. to measure it out, you want to be ABOUT st.rh away, a tad further.
Look for ways to use st.hp to whiff punish from outside, you can hit confirm it into itself for the TC.
Vskill + P has decent range and speed too. Vskill is a parry. Use this to absorb and punish long range normals they like to spam.
If you can get in enough to make them block a cr.mp you can start trying demon flip cancels and see how they do.
Air fireballs can be a problem for some characters.
Back way up and start throwing fireballs, normal and reds and make them deal with zoning.
Raw demon flips if you read them trying specific normls, you can cancel them in to dive kicks and such.
F.fp avoids lows and such, so if they are trying to low poke you on approach and you read it, f.fp over. It's safe too.
