Akuma has short range on most of his pokes, but he is one of (if not) the best zoner in the game. Akuma is mainly about surviving as long as possible throughout the round until you build enough meter to land most of your damage. The threats of Akuma's keep out attacks, air mobility, quick whiff recovery, and armor allows Akuma to build towards his goal. | Akuma has short range on most of his pokes, but he is one of (if not) the best zoner in the game.

Gameplan
Akuma has short range on most of his pokes, but he is one of (if not) the best zoner in the game. Akuma is mainly about surviving as long as possible throughout the round until you build enough meter to land most of your damage. The threats of Akuma's keep-out attacks, air mobility, quick whiff recovery, and armor allows Akuma to build towards his goal.
Basically, you want to be as unpredictable as possible and waste as much time as you can by jumping, jabbing, zoning with your fireballs, scaring them away with focus attack cancels, sweeping them, keeping them at bay with f+3, df+1, and f,f+4.
You have a lot of options and mixups off of your special cancelable moves that it can be hard for people to punish Akuma properly even with intensive lab knowledge. The answer is commonly just to "not interact" because Akuma get's high reward off scramble situations very often.
When Akuma finally gets at least 1 bar of meter, the reward on every. single. special. cancelable. attack gets an insane reward either on normal hit or counter hit. Which means his defense in all regards shoots to the best in the game. Since Akuma's risk/reward on his offense is in reverse because he comes from an entirely different fighting game series, he has the safest highest damage low in the game.
Defense
Akuma's 5LP (singular 1 jab) is the fastest recovering jab in the game. Combined with the above average hitbox on the jab, this makes it extremely annoying to deal with as a keep-out attack. 1,1 is a counter-hit confirmable string that leads into any of his special cancelable moves.
