Elochai

Maybe you can try & help me fix my button @ the next monthly then?

I'm clumsy as shit. I don't wanna attempt taking this thing apart again lol. $50 is ridiculous though, I'd never do that.

Does the staff replace/fix buttons for sticks? My poor A button has kicked the can .

Who's in this army?

Juegos buenos a ti, Iora. All I've been fighting is Labrys, and all I wanna do is push buttons. It's hard to do so sometimes when you die in one combo lol.

Nah, I'm getting off. I GG'd you in the post above. Btw, didn't we have a better connection before?

EX Corkscrew, yes, lol. Edit: GGs Toan & everyone I played earlier on. Gonna go iron clothes. I gotta work on my Akihiko, but he's still rather fun to play. Thanks for putting up with me doing mindless shit. Maybe I'll go with Liz next time lol.

I don't know why 6D is giving me 5D instead ;w; .

I'm down. I might be playing subs though.

Thanks, Eshi. I only went for those combos because I wasn't confident in getting Kanji in garu loops. @OmeX: I just tried Kanji's 214C against Liz 2B. It's really odd, but sometimes it'll CH and sometimes 2B beats it free. I suppose it just depends on when 2B comes out. You're most likely right that 2B beats grab if you read it, but if you react to it, which I probably did, then grab will win.

Thanks for the lengthy reply, Omex. I owe ya. See bolded.

Tell me, is the only reason I got bodied was because I wasn't respecting 5A on wake-up? Honestly, Kanji mindgames are really scary, especially when you don't have much MU experience. Kinda feel disappointed because this is far from my best showing. I thought I knew how to play better . Match.

I did so shitty in Persona, I feel disappointed in myself. Shoutouts to everyone putting up with my shitty Akihiko for like 3 hours straight of games. I need to learn how to actually do more than combos. Shoutouts to LK as well for showing me that Teddie-Akihiko is one of the most retarded match-ups in the game.

AFAIK (and I could be wrong) glasses DLC is already in the game, and you're just paying for the unlock.

You shouldn't be excited to play Elizabeth, unless you're a masochist. You might body everyone at first, but after everyone figures out all of the Elizabeth gimmicks, you'll constantly be fighting uphill battles.

Sweep > SB Maragidyne combo ender in the corner. You can do Memento Mori or whatever you want. If the person jumps out, they'll get hit by flames (or at the very least, be forced to block the returning flames). If they don't jump, you get your grab or mix-up.

Thanks a ton! Greatly appreciate it.

I've recently started playing this character, and I'm confused on what to do for pressure. I usually do like buttons > kill rush > duck or weave > more buttons. I feel this isn't right though. What is Akihiko's pressure game supposed to be like?

Off of j.A, I like: j.A FC > 5A > 5AA > j.A > j.B > j.236D > 2B > j.B > 236D > 5A > 5C > 2C > 214B > reset oki j.A > 5A > 5AA > j.C > j.B > j.236C > OMC > 5A > 5C > 2C > 214B > reset oki Off of 2A: 2A FC > 5B > 2AB > 236D [9~3] > 2A > 5B > 2AB > 236D [9~3] > 2A > 5B > 5C > 2C > 214B > reset oki Non FC is the same as the above, but with one garu (don't think my combos are optimal though lol) j.B, I'm not sure midscreen tbh, but in the corner it's a similar route as the 2A combo. You can even OMB for 2B > j.B > j.236D loop for like 7.5k~. I would agree that the reward is worth the risk. I think only projectiles can beat this midscreen, and not all characters have access to those. You would be safe + have fire behind them even if they escape fast enough.

GGs to Andru's room, though it was short. Why did you go away, Andru? The room fell apart without you ;w;. If you're coming out tomorrow, we should definitely play some games. The Elizabeth 50/50 mixup vortex worked way better than I thought. Interesting.

Okay, that makes sense. It's kinda silly that they have low HP but deal such massive damage lol. They might as well have 1 HP or something. I guess it wouldn't be the future of fighting games if it wasn't ridiculous.

Spanish isn't my first language, but I thought fuerza meant strength? Are they giving a damage value or something (in reference to the character biographies)?

If you're doing a combo that'll be really prorated by the time you get to 214B > 2C > 214C (corner), omitting the 2C may be a viable alternative. It'll be like doing 214D oki midscreen, except in the corner. If done from burst-safe ranges, you would lose a persona card at the most. I tested this against Elizabeth's 5B, and by the time your opponent escapes the ice, you're able to block, and the flames will CH them. Speaking of oki, do you guys think that it is viable to start using a vortex-style playstyle? By this, I mean doing hit confirm > 214B > 214C/214D and repeating. In comparison to doing j.C > meaty 5C/5D, I don't think much is being lost honestly, and going for a 50/50 each time may be the way to go. Even if your opponent guesses correctly, at least you're close enough to continue pressure, and chances are you're not going to lose a persona card like you would if you had gone for 5C or 5D meaty. I think we should use j.B in mixups these type of mixups too, since it crosses up from the same side.

Don't be so hard on yourself. If you were really that bad, I wouldn't have even lost to you, unless I'm actually worse than terrible (which in the opinion of others is not the case). Point being, we're both rusty, and if we were at 100%, things would have gone differently. Look at when we've played in the past.

Getting on to dust off my stick. Drop by my lobby & play some games conmigo. Edit: GGs Jaguar & laggy Kanji guy. Playing FF13-2 for a week & change made me able to block Aigis mix-up, it's so obvious.
