Middle Tennessee Needs Gaming! Monthly Versus Tourneys - Antioch, TN

[LastStarSaviour]

Actually both his overhead and his low (note: singular) are punishable on block. His mixup is trash because if you miss your mixup you can lose a match. Overall what tools he has are weak. His job is to get in, but once he's in, he only has to fuck up once to get combo'd and have to work his way back there.

Meanwhile chie and mitsuru have sick pressure and great combos.

But dont take MY word for it. I'm just some fucking guy. Listen to akihiko players.

Notice that's why I said his neutral game was weak. EVERYTHING you said defines a weak neutral game. Yeah. he only needs to screw up once to be punished but he has great reward off most of his hit-confirms and his combos are GOOD. The thing you were saying that when he gets combo'ed he has to find his way back in, to be honest, that's a given for anyone who has to fight a good zoning character. Mitsuru has the same problem against Naoto, and so does Chie.

Lol Akihiko is far from being terrible. Almost every japanese tournie vid i've seen on youtube has some akihiko player in top 4. He has one of the fastest jabs in the game and has hella good range. plus he can mix it up on his jump in by connecting two jumping attacks before he lands or connecting only one jumping attack and then land and go for a low. His ducking move is still creating new tech. along with the gravity pull his persona has and the electric enchantment that makes his attacks pull you closer and paralyzes your mobility. He has all the tools necessary to go in and doesn't really struggle against zoners. He does struggle against kanji though cause he is risking a lot more with kanji's damage. Mitsuru from mid range rapes akihiko in footsies. but those are really the only true problems i see him having.

Oh yeah with 150 meter his instant kill is guaranteed no matter where you are on the screen. he uses 50 heat to do the super where there is lightning all over the screen. this puts the electric status on the opponent which increases the pull when you activate the instant kill.

here is a vid showcasing it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ri8h8bkJpNg&t=2m24s

And also, I never played Bang cause he was good, he was terrible in ct, and i don't for any other game i play. It's who i like and ultimately I do best with who I like versus who is best.

Oh.

... Oh.

I hadn't even considered that 150 Heat thing involving Distortions into Astrals.

Akihiko considered. Until I can find out somebody else can do something like that. :3

[Volpe-de-Glacio]

Nah, you should go for a riskier instant kill like Elizabeth's. Drop a big square of light that takes 10 seconds to activate, then play keep away with your opponent so they don't turn it off by hitting you or forcing you to block. Then push them into it with her flames.

Hey, if you aren't hanging out with family or stealing candy/chocolate from little kids tomorrow, you're more than welcome to come over my place for some games.

KOF, Suguri, I'll even play SF, any game I've got or feel like downloading. We can do Streets of Rage, Dead Nation, Hoard, Castle Crashers, anything.

If we have enough people, we'll even play Minchkin.

Lol Akihiko is far from being terrible... has hella good range.

Again I say, don't take my word for it. I'm just some guy. Talk to people who have played akihiko since release.

And @jackie: mitsuru's astral can hit you anywhere on screen really quickly. You have to be blocking.

Sounds symbolic, mang.

[Milln]

Just got

Pascal

in Graces. She's my new favorite character, personality wise. Basically a female me x5. Asbel is still the most fun to play as, though. We'll see if anyone grows on me.
