This thread. IS SO DEAD. O_o Where is everybody at lol btw shoutouts to Radoric, LukeYuriRaine, CptBarbosa, shadowteddie, EvilDante, and others I haven't mentioned, good games :D

In my opinion, having fought my fair share of Akihikos both good and bad, this MU is very slightly in Yukiko's favor. I read on the opposing thread that Dacidbro claims this MU is very easily in Aki's favor (due to a concept match vid where Team Aki beat Team Yuki 9-7), but I really don't see how he even got to that conclusion lol. That's not saying I'm downplaying his claims completely, though. This match is heavily dependent on reads. Fortunately for us, it takes a lot less work for us to do than Akihiko. When you have him from afar, this is pretty much smooth sailing for you since he has little options to close in on you with--but don't get sloppy and just start throwing out 5BB, 3D>5C>2C, Maragis, etc. in a nonchalant manner, Akihiko can (and will) capitalize and use (EX) Dash or super jump to gravitate towards you. Sometimes, if they're feeling bold and if they have meter, you can expect an EX Corkscrew which is a very, VERY unsafe move on block for them and a free combo for you stemming from 2A/5A. I find that most Akis use EX Corkscrew in an attempt to dodge projectiles and land a powerful blow on Yukiko, but I find this rarely happens and instead it does exactly the opposite. Midrange is kind of dead heat. Ideally you want to steer clear of him with a back j.5B/j.3B, and be extra careful of what he might try to pull off. You also want to be careful of what certain moves to throw out at this range, because most of Yukiko's attacks have some poor recovery, and if Aki dodges them, she's in grave danger. If Akihiko comes at you with a jump dash 5B, an evasive roll should work just fine, as well as against his j.5C. If he dashes towards you, a simple 5A shall work in your favor. For an EX Corkscrew, just block it and begin your assault after he is left wide open. Dia is also a viable option for all of his rushdown tactics so feel free to use them if an opportunity presents itself. Be aware, though--some Akihikos I've noticed will try to bait your Dia with a jump dash but no 5B and instead block it, proceeding to shoot your life bar to shit, so try not to Dia as much when he's in the air. Unless you're like me and like to randomly close in on Akis, I think the only time you should ever be at close range with him is in the corner. I mean yeah, there are things of Aki you have to respect, like his DP and roll and supers, but with proper distance you can shut out most of his attacks and rely on your longer ranged attacks (5C, 2C, 2D, etc.) to force on the defense and swallow the jagged hard pill that is your pressure. If the role is reversed, though, you're kind of in a tight spot. It's quite dangerous because they know you want to Dia or burst, and boy do they look out for that. If rolls don't seem to help your situation, a risky thing to do is to take a hit and let them start out about 2 or 3 hits into their combo, then burst when they proceed to initiate a move in their combostring they can't quickly recover from (Aki's 5AAA, j.5B) and welcome him to full screen hell. For an even riskier read to save the burst, you can attempt to read their moves and Dia before their hit lands on you, and you'll still be in the same position. If Akihiko is in Awakening, you should take that into mind. He has Maziodyne now, and that is a threat to your zoning abilities. What makes is worse is that on block, it helps Akihiko by putting him on equal ground with you (cancellable with OMC) and it automatically beats your Agidyne and Maragidyne. Once again, Dia can protect you from this. Otherwise just block and if he cancels and approaches you, just do your best to defend yourself from his attacks and get away from him when given the chance. As much as I love to advocate other Yukiko players to use Fire Boost in your matches, against Akihiko it really isn't needed unless you want to match his damage output in which you need a solid Lv. 6. Not worth it lol. Fire Break is good to use, too, to disrupt your pressure strings and catch him off guard. Dia may be your friend, but it isn't your crutch. Do not use it incessantly, as Aki players will catch onto this. You should only use it when you know it's going to work, like his dashes or poorly recovered attacks. If you take nothing from this, the main key to success against Akihiko is distance. The more distance you have, the more better of a position you are in of seizing this match. Even Yukiko herself says it to Akihiko when they fight ("Stay away!" She says to him in her 5AAA hit against him). Good luck and have fun! :D

GGs to everyone I fought tonight, including WuDaMonkey (sorry I it appeared I randomly left, my CD glitched and won't stop), LOGIC, that one Justin guy I can't beat T_T and LukeYuriRaine25 <3 I'm also like, really rusty and scrubby as hell so I apologize if I seemed a little cheap tonight I'm working on learning how to fire boost so that I can prepare for its benefits in P4A2 :D

I might have to opt out...no promises though, my connection has been awful as of late

GGs to everyone These are gonna be my last days on 360 because in light of CP (and to raise hell on UBW's P4U lobby which is only for PS3), I am going to sell my 360 and games and buy PS3 and get ready for all the excitement! :D I also am getting ready to rebuy all the godforsaken DLC on these games that costed an arm and a leg and replay all the story modes to unlock content, so yeah. Great games you guys, I'll see you on the PS3 side :D

Scrub! Get it together, yo D: I'm sure you're as good as you were back then right now...you just need to get back in the swing of things. I'm been hella rusty with Yukiko since playing Mass Effect 3 so I can feel your pain. Maybe since the trials are back on, I'll come fight you if I'm on

GGs to everyone I played this week It was fun taking advantage of the Free Live Weekend but I'm a silver and not paying a penny to convert back To Dot Small Miles: I'm really glad I could be of help to your Yuki skills! That Yukiko of yours is TOUGH--if not, tougher than mine. Keep it up and you'll certainly surpass my skills. Great games, bud! ^_^

Oh heck yes Im'ma try my hand at this :D DL/XBL: Pyry Von Quies/Pyry Von Quies Location: Texas Timezone: Central

Guys I just realized something about P4A:C I'm pretty certain about it too http://pyryvonquies.tumblr.com/post/61094005614/i-just-realized-something

Good games to Jaguar SCF, DrUmMeR x 666z, CptnBarbosa, Kobayoshi, Audio 33, ApatheticAsian4, BrentQuest, LukeYuriRaine, and GD 05. I seriously need to fight more Yosukes because as a Yukiko player, he is my definite weakest MU atm. Also, I hope Spectrasonic--whoever he is--doesn't take pride in uploading his win-only matches on YouTube with views like that and his inability to cover up names. If he keeps this up, I'm going to make a montage of him losing and ragequitting for everyone to see and then put him on blast. It's bad enough to taste the salt of defeat, but then have it displayed your name put out there is like a bad aftertaste that never goes away. btw ShinSyn whenever I see you post a gg message on here, for some reason I always imagine Yu Narukami is saying it lol

GGs to Audio33, EternalOps, and TECHNOMIXER Currently improving month old rusty Yukiko skills...

I know I'm a little late to the party but I disapprove Junpei in the revamp of the game with that plush carnival prize he calls a baseball bat. I dunno if they're paying respects to Shoma or something, but jeez, cut it out, it isn't needed. However, you COULD bring Theodore and Ryotaro in any day now... :P P.S. Yukiko's new attacks are very elegant and stylish (from what I've seen so far), but they pose a problem for me :/

ggs everyone on a unrelated BlazBlue, I just realized that with popularity of Dangan Ronpa, there's bound to be a color edit of Celestia Rachel.

Well I'm depressed T_T Probably gonna sell my 360 for a PS3 to prepare for Chronophantasma which is ONLY COMING OUT ON THE PS3 WTF ah well. at least there'll be free online service :D

ggs scrub sorry if it seemed like I was playing a bit aggressively, I was in a bad mood

Does anybody know of the Amane glitch? Some good stuff xD

One day a Yukiko WILL win a tournament...this, I swear.

GGs everyone

GGs to everyone Gonna quit playing on Ranked Match because everyone shuts me out before I get a chance to score my S+, they're all too good. Who's excited for EVO in a few weeks? WHOO! :D

If you guys like 999 (which there's a sequel to that if I'm not mistaken--really good too) You'll love Dangan Ronpa. It's like DA BES. DA NUH NUH. GGs to everyone I played today

ggs to everyone I fought today my litchi is not on point as it should be today...but there's always room for improvement :P

GGs Radoric, it's quite a treat to see how much you've progressed in such short months GGs to everyone else I played as well

GGs to Radoric, melee12, Daddy Courage, everyone else.

GGs to everyone I played today I was so close to getting S+ rank today!!!! D:

GGs everyone I fought
