While many of the set\u2019s moves can be accessed using the Assisted Combo: Akuma item, Gohadoken, Goshoryuken, and Drive Impact gestures, Capcom has translated some of the character\u2019s classic inputs into the game.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Some of you asked for THE AKUMA GUIDE&#8230; <br>And I always deliver \ud83d\udc4a<br>Here&#39;s an Infographic with everything!<br><br>You need visual help?

As long as you have a basic grasp of input timings and animation lengths, you will be able to perform even the lengthiest of combos with relative ease. If all else fails, pressing any of the Assisted Combo: Akuma item\u2019s inputs results in respectable damage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I FOUND AN INPUT FOR RAGING DEMON<br>(I cant believe I&#39;m actually labbing in MH&#8230;)<br>When there&#39;s a wound &gt; \u23f9\ufe0f+\u23f9\ufe0f +\ud83d\udd3c +\u23fa\ufe0f<br><br>Here&#39;s also my camera focusing on the controller to show how it works<br><br>THIS IS CRAZY, ARE WE PLAYING SF6?! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/AI2PXrbBgz\">https:\/\/t.co\/AI2PXrbBgz<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Twlo0mCZ46\">pic.twitter.com\/Twlo0mCZ46<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Shincry (@Shincry) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Shincry\/status\/1927584589477712344?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 28, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, two of Akuma\u2019s moves, namely the Raging Demon and OD Goushoryuken, have had their Street Fighter inputs imported into Monster Hunter Wilds. You can quickly <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/reviews\/monster-hunter-wilds-why-the-wound-system-is-dividing-players\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">execute the Raging Demon on a monster wound<\/a> either by using the Drive Impact gesture or performing a quick Focus Strike after any Assisted Combo: Akuma input. You can also do it the traditional way by pressing the Standing Light Punch input twice followed by Standing Medium Punch and Standing Heavy Kick with the Assisted Combo: Akuma item equipped. If done properly, the lengthier input will result in Akuma teleporting a short distance before executing the move (thus increasing its range).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">You can also do it without the radial menu if you enter the classic DP input at the end of a combo!<br><br>\u27a1\ufe0f\u2b07\ufe0f\u2198\ufe0f + Any attack input (Circle\/Triangle\/Square)<br><br>Thanks <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EvilKeimaa?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@EvilKeimaa<\/a> for the tip!<br><br>Here&#39;s a clip with the camera focusing my controler <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/8f2MUGZWqX\">https:\/\/t.co\/8f2MUGZWqX<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/sAYIUSyDR8\">pic.twitter.com\/sAYIUSyDR8<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Shincry (@Shincry) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Shincry\/status\/1927577934380077471?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 28, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Akuma\u2019s OD Goushoryuken is a little more complex. While the Goushoryuken gesture executes the regular version of the move, performing it after any combo will result in a more powerful, three-hit OD Goushoryuken. Inputting right, down, and diagonal right on your controller\u2019s d-pad or the arrow keys on your keyboard followed by any of the Assisted Combo: Akuma inputs will allow you to perform the OD Goushoryuken right off the bat.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though most Monster Hunter Wilds players might prefer to use the regular <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/tips\/monster-hunter-wilds-essential-items-to-bring-on-a-hunt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">item<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/tips\/monster-hunter-wilds-how-to-create-custom-shoutouts-stickers-and-gestures\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">gesture inputs<\/a> (they require less memorization and are easier to use), it was nice of Capcom to pay tribute to the popular fighting game franchise as well as its fans by including the classic inputs. Given that Monster Hunter Wilds often pits you against monsters more than three times your size, speed seems preferable to complex button presses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Monster Hunter Wilds is available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam).&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Capcom has translated some of Akuma\u2019s classic fighting game-style inputs from Street Fighter 6 into Monster Hunter Wilds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":67,"featured_media":48522,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-48519","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tips"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Monster Hunter Wilds&#039;
