General Strategy:

A fun match if your opponent is fireball happy, keep them running and apply pressure with Ex.Sky High Claws, and wall dives. These Akumas usually have weak in-fighting, and this lets Vega keep his distance and continue his pressure game.

Rushdown Akumas are trickier to deal with. You need to keep a strong defense, and be mindful of cross overs. Be ready to tech gtabs as they come. Your main focus here is punishing jump ins, demon flips, and foolish out of reach normals. Cr.Mp-Rolling Crystal Flash is your pressure here.

Akuma has low health, so you don't have to be extra offensive overall, just make sure to block as many attacks as you can and punish accordingly.
