I do not see anything about whether or not he may be used for runs (or other characters other than Dan)

(Also I swore I made this post earlier this week but i guess it never went through)

i assume that would be fine. there's runs with a handful of different characters. it's not like akuma is overpowered or anything.

akuma could be a smart choice, you get a good drop pattern, and take more damage which technically can be good sometimes

i think most people go with ken though because getting your attack interrupted or countered harder is a potential drawback of akuma

worth noting ryu is the fastest character to pick if you time the run from a point earlier than when a character is selected

Can confirm, it's fine to run akuma/devilot/etc, i wouldn't say it's optimal b/c you send over less blocks as a handicap for how good the pattern is. do whatcha want tho

I had a very busy past couple of weeks, thank you SO MUCH to the both of you Remix227 & KattaTonik for your feedback and knowledge!! I mean it!
