This thread will be used solely for the discussion of and updates for Akihiko's page on the Wiki. Anything from move information, combos, to even grammatical errors are wanted. So please, let's drop the gloves for a sec and discuss our character over some protein shakes!

I only ask that you follow the site rules and respect the posts of others.

Other than that, have fun!

Well since everyone is just dying to start this I guess i'll pitch in too...

 

5A / 5AA / 5AAA

• Good poke
• Leads to using 5AA as a mixup tool
• 5AAA can also be good, as it can be delayed a lot and then safely get cancelled to killrush

2A

• Arguably his best poke - has a better reach than 5A, with all of its speed
• When within a combo, has better proration than 5A thus combos lead to more damage/routes

2B

• Great reactive anti-air
• Upper body invul

DP

• 1st hit air unblockable
• Startup of 9 frame - one of the fastest in the game
• On counter hit it can deal massive damage
• Best used with a microdash

Hook A

• Great tool after a frame trap (best seen after assault dive A and other cases)
• Catches/trades against some low profile attacks

Hook B

• Great tool as a frame trap since it's plus on block
• Creates ambiguous scenarios since it can be charged on to an unblockable move

Hook SB

• Great tool as a frame trap since it's plus on block
• Has a guard point which sometimes works on your favor, sometimes it won't
• One of his best fatal counter starters
• Used to create ambiguous scenarios to keep enemies guessing

 

Out of time for now but, yeah that's a start I think?
