Akatsuki Denkou Senki

[Marnichiban]

I'm using Akatsuki.. Who wants to play :o

[Nekich]

Sai's the tricky badass of the game.

The choice is obvious.

She should be pretty ok against human opponents but her grab ain't pot.

her AI threw me alot, but i'm generally not good at this, so, um...

[zer0kage]

Akatsuki gives Ky vibes with that ball of his. Just TK that 236 and its quite likely that the opponent will be kept at bay. With Wei there are nice 3.5k-4k (w/o stat boost) combos he can pull off 5C 5B [4]6 B B+C I'd wish 3B+C is comboable in that one for hilarious results.

[Zaido]

hmm o wells since Kanae is wierd.. cause her moves are pretty limited and her chains are lol... so.. i guess i will pick her up and see if i can find somethign.. :o

[Nekich]

any fat combos off the 6C for Akatsuki? i get mostly random ones, ending with an EX.

[Jin Leonhart]

Wolf pack and dragons ftw!!1! Mycale got some nice oki and keepaway, but as far as combos go I couldn't get much: Corner: j.2A/j.B, 5C, j.B j.2A, j.A j.2A, j.A j.2A, 5B 236+A 236+B+C End the combo with A+B+C if you feel like wasting bars -> and doing half-life damage O_O You can do the loop midscreen, but it's harder: j.2A/j.2B/j.B, 5C, j.A/j.B j.2C, asap j.A j.2B, 5B and either > 236+B/C/any stuff for oki setup > 214+B 632+B+C for damage > A+B+C for dragon pwnage EX combo anywhere: j.whatever, 2A 5B(1), 214+A 632+B+C -> it seems that you can combo afterwards with 2A 5B -> dog for oki j.2A/2B/2C is probably your main mixup weapon. I wish she said "fuu" or something, then it would be Yun all over again ^_^ j.2A crossup -> combo/throw j.2A (whiff) -> 2A j.2A (whiff) -> throw Myca's too good *-*

[AyaImmortal]

Yeah she is really good. Right now i have a feeling of her either being TOP or something around there... so far Kayin is the only person who kept me away for a good while using her

[Jin Leonhart]

Also, I don't think Kanae is THAT bad... she is easy to do some damage with. Since 236+A combos pretty well, she got somewhat of a decent mixup too ~_~ 22+A is not a bad AA, and a random poke like 5A or 2A or jumping attack to 236+B+C 22+B+C A+B+C hurts =P

[Koozebanian Fazoob]

Kanae is not that bad, she just has a horrible horrible game at the range that is outside of her command throw but too close to poke. She gets great damage off Parries and her EX counter is good, and any time she lands a command throw she does some beefy damage. Her C normals are all very good too.

Her Overdrive is pretty mediocre too considering most characters have a long effective combo into theirs. Kanae's is pretty much limited to 2A, or j.B crossup 2A, or corner 6C (good luck hit confirming that regularly). I'm pretty sure it has startup too which means you can just reaction jump out of it. Not entirely sure about that though. Compare that to other characters Overdrives and Kanae's is pretty crap.

At mid just do 6C, j.A j.B 214C, and you can cancel to 214BC if you want.

At close to corner just do the hop loops which are stuff like... 6C, 214A, B, 214A, B ... etc.

A VERY basic video i threw together for akatsuki. Should give some ideas

[Koozebanian Fazoob]

Near the corner after 6C launch you don't need to j.A j.B you can just walk forward and do B 214A for more damage.

[AyaImmortal]

Yeah thanks and your right. The video is as basic as i said it was, VERY lol

[Zaido]

hmmm any tips on Fighting Akatsuki with Kanae? i have an idea.. but i want to hear other thoughts :o

[Koozebanian Fazoob]

Uh... hit him? I dunno, doesn't seem like there's a whole lot of specific strategy in that matchup. General rule with Kanae is to poke with C and 2C when at long range, use 6C any chance you can, throw or tick throw whenever possible, and parry like a machine. She gets big damage for free with a successful parry.

[AyaImmortal]

I am messing with Kanae and her forward c is REALLY good from what i see right now.

[Koozebanian Fazoob]

6C is good and you use it as part of a tick throw mixup because of the massive advantage it gives you.

[SuperDK]

How about Marilyn? All I can do is 236A 4A, 2A, 2B, 236A 5A 5A(or A+B+C). Besides feinting 214A, what other things can she do? And btw, with Marilyn, against CPU tank all you have to do is time your jump and then use 2C when he is going to shoot the straight laser beam. Cheese ftw. But then again, this is normal I'm talking about.

well she is very pokey. I think her jumping b is an awesome air to air. I dont know about her tricks yet but ill post up some combos or make a video for her.

Ive been playing with all the characters, neither of the 2 boss characters are busted as previously thought. So i might take up the main boss as a character.

GB: yeah sadly though comboing into her grab is shitty because it scales so fucking much if you use jab. Not sure about invincibility but i know her dashing grab will go through some standing pokes.

[Koozebanian Fazoob]

SuperDK: She has a lot of good stuff. Check out this vid:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dni13DNsP-U

She has some real long combos in the corner and some spacing specific stuff at mid screen. Keep in mind she can also fake her j.2C, which is hilarious.

Aya: Yeah comboing into it from 2A kinda sucks but you don't have a whole lot of options. If you are good enough to hit confirm it, you can combo it off the crossup j.B of course.

Dunno if this is common knowledge or not but you can combo 2C off of 6C. I use it all the time, quite good.

[AyaImmortal]

Yeah, I know about comboing that, yeah it is really good. Also her j 2c is REALLY good to mess with peoples heads when used correctly. I really have to mess with her more cause she does not suck AT ALL. i am really impressed with her.

[Zaido]

well i don't think Kanae sucks.. just her options are pretty limited compared to some of the cast who can just range her with projectiles and stuff... kind of making me have to play a patient game but other hten taht i don't htink she sucks... (just to clarify so i dont' give the impression me sayign she sucks :O) but anyways.. C and 6C are good as they are... C is good and long range same with 2C but the thign is if it whiffs i am kind of screwed :/... and 6C is good with the frame and all but getting it to hit them is what matters and usually them just spamming hit will just CH hit me so yea... i been working on midsets to tick throws.. and also thinking of corporating the counter moves.. plus i am tryign to get used to the parry since i sometimes accidently parry then press parry again so i need to work on that.. but i willl try the C out more... and see :X

[Jet Set Dizzy]

hmm i just played the demo of this and it was kinda cool, but it wasn't as cool as BBB so it didn't really keep my attention.. il probably try again when the game is accesably released

uh..... never mind....

[furix]

Lol, he thinks Akatsuki is a demo! Is Akatsuki really that bad? D: I mean sure the game does feel a bit incomplete, but not enough to feel as if it was a demo. I think. D:

Furix: I think he actually downloaded the demo. Not the game.
