@@imcel8953 At point blank, it is, like it's almost always been. Akuma's Raging Demon will grab you before the super freeze so long as he's point blank. Also, he can't use it like a reversal because he's only fully invincible for 1 frame, compared to Gief who CAN use it like a reversal because he's fully invincible during the entire start-up.
@@imcel8953 Yeah, you need to be super close, but that's why doing Drive Rush xx Raging Demon is potent since if they block expecting a normal up-close, you can put yourself close enough to Raging Demon, you just have to hide the inputs.
Updates? Capcom didn’t do any true nerfs and buffs to characters on the Terry launch patch. Maybe they haven’t done any, that is why they keep using the same characters and its getting boring.
