One quick note, as you know (I hope), Akuma's roundhouse (heavy kick, hk) is a double roundhouse looking move.  At a certain distance, you can get locked down by it.  However, if you pay close attention, there's a certain distance where the first kick misses and then the second hit reaches.  If you know that range, you can punish his attempts to lock you down.  So when you are in that range, let the first miss, then press your low forward (medium kick, mk)  if you're a shoto or if you're me (Makoto) press low strong (medium punch, mp) and do a combo; you can ex-karakusa if anything.  If you are in the perfect position, you can actually focus the second hit and get a crumple.  But, that's if you're good.  Otherwise, make him bleed.  Oh, and look for various forms of kara demons...they can come out of no where if you're not careful...
