Well, yeah, he's *Akuma*.  He's meant to take heavy damage.  That shouldn't be a surprise. :)

The "it takes little talent" comment seems like sour grapes - if it really takes "little talent", why not prove it by winning Evo?  Unlike a lot of other games, button mashers will get completely destroyed by skilled players.  There are ways to counter most of that, but that in turn takes skill.  :)

capcom should re-release this game so it doesnt have to cost upwards of 100 bucks to buy a game that came out when i was a freaking sophmore in high school. or does the liscensing not allow them to re-release it?

But then Capcom would need to ask Marvel for permission and the license so that may not happen. By the way, welcome to the Community!
