Haunted Herring

Yeah problem is I don't know anyone who plays this game in my area and online isn't looking that great either (I live in the UK btw). Although that's the case for a lot of fighting games I wanna play! I'm looking forward to moving to a place where there's a bit more of a fighting game scene when I go to university in October. Don't worry about me not sticking with Akihko though! If I'm gonna try and be anything close to good at this game, it's gonna be with my boy. Loved him in the RPGs and love how he plays in Arena. I don't think I could move to Shadow Akihiko in 2.0 though, the personality change is too much! Some random other questions then. How do you punish someone for high blocking as Akihiko, just go for a raw sweep? He feels a little starved for lows, it was like this in P4A but I'd figured I'd ask anyway. And is it worth threatening with throws as Aki? With no cyclone levels doing 1200 damage and sending them full-screen doesn't sound that enticing considering you want to be up in their grill. Oh and thanks for all the work you've done in the community Barz, I didn't know you existed until like 2 weeks ago but you seem like a pretty cool guy. Good shit at NWM too!

Yo, so I picked up P4U pretty recently, I played a lot of P4A but it was after most of the interest in the game had died down (shoutouts to the EU release date) so I was more of a lab monster than anything else. One thing that's been bothering me is all these 2.0 changes. I guess there's no date on when console players are gonna get the changes? Just wondering if I should bother putting in the work to learn Aki when a lot of his stuff is gonna get changed up when the patch drops. He's a blast to play but it just feels kinda pointless practising fun stuff like crazy fatal counter combos when that's gonna be completely different. I suppose his fundamental stuff isn't going to change but that stuff's harder to just grind out in the training room. Maybe I should just play Adachi until I can get my hands on 2.0 Akihiko...
