This is totally just my theory and speculation, but what if Susanoo isn't just Terumi. What if he's Terumi AND/OR Azrael. Look at that hair, idle stance and goatee spike and tell me that doesn't look possible. The guy wanted to fight the Gods in their realm, why not also basically become one? Explains his Magatama-like things having locks, or inhibitors, too. Just a theory.

This might just be my own speculation, but here's how I see her Drive. Referring to the third Famitsu scan on the top that shows the two images of her Drive. So I think the first image is her Drive. For now assume its 5D. It's a sword swipe that leaves a smooth quarter circle Crest out. Now the second image. I'm going to say the move she's doing is either a 5A or a command low like a 6A or something. Doing this normal, or any move for the purpose of the explanation, then activates the Crest, making it into the second-hitting spiky Crest. At least I think so. For all we know the second image might be the recovery of 5D, and the Drive hits twice regardless, and the whole "second hit" thing is actually a "press and hold D to keep it from immediately doing the second hit. I guess the only way to know is seeing some footage.

So, going back to the Ako crouch and get free meter thing, it takes 50 pips to get 1 bar. I was originally thinking that getting an SSS in her Ranbu would do something, so I got one then checked to see if that affected the rate or amount on her crouching meter gain, and nothing, so I still don't know the point in it. :/

If you crouch and hold it and don't press any normals, Ako will gain like 5% meter every second, or something like that. Pretty neat.

Ako is pretty fun. Not quite sure what to do other than mess with her assists to get more damage out of her. Maybe she'll be heavily dependent on Power Burst. *EDIT* Aaand someone already found a kill combo. Nice.

Ako and Rusian are available for download, but we still have to wait for the update. *EDIT* I spoke too soon. Update is out.

Hopefully we get that Tamaki Ako DLC news/confirmation soon. I'm hoping she's not a literal promotion of her anime in that she's coming out in April. @__@

So on top of switching my assist to Kuroneko to combat Shana/Enju, Kuroneko actually has a ton of synergy with Yuuki imo. Do stuff into 214AB, then land and call Kuroneko without needing to cancel and spend a bar. The enemy will tech and not want to attack or else they'll get counter hit by the petals, and Yuuki can move in for some 50/50 mixups, or 6S and hope for Shironeko so you can go to town on the pressure. You can combo with Kuroneko too as always by calling her during your 5AB and 236 stuff.

Finally broke 7k with Yuuki. Requires 5 bars, Blast, Player Climax, Sadou Maou as your assist, the corner, and a counter hit. CH j.[C] > jc > j.[C] > 236[C] > 236AB > AC > dash 5C > 236[C] > 236AB > jc > j.[C] > j.236[B[ > j.236AB > Combo Blast > 5AB + Maou Lv2 5S > j.[C] > jc > j.[C] > j.236C > j.236AB > 41236BC+AC+AC

Does anyone have any tips vs. Shana/Enju? My friend is pretty damn good at keeping me at a distance with Enju 5{S} keeping me from calling my assist to snipe them, and he's using his fireballs, both ground and air, really well. Even with Yuuki's 2AB, I'm still losing a little hp from the armor, and if I spend a Trump to double jump then airdash, I sometimes have an easier time, but I don't wanna use Trump just to get hit and have it wasted. :/

6630 with Yuuki and Boogiepop. 5B > 5C > 236[C] > 236AB > AC > dash 5C > 236[C] + 6S (On the last hit of 236[C]) > 236AB > Combo Blast > 5AB > 236AB (6S hits) > step back > 5AB > 236AB > 41236BC+AC+AC 6745 with Yuuki and Maou 5B > 5C > 236[C] > 236AB > AC > dash 5C > 236[C] > 236AB > Combo Blast > 5AB > 236AB + Level 2 5S (On last hit) > Jump then falling j.C > Immediate 5AB > 236AB > 41236BC+AC+AC

If you're referring to her Trump, it gives her an additional air action, for a total of three, and let's her jump cancel her specials. So something like 236AB > jc > j236A > j236AB is possible in Trump. If you mean in general, I think she's a great mix between Kirito and Asuna with a few of her own unique tools, who can dish out some good damage but seems, so far imo, to have the best strength in forcing the opponent down and then calling an assist to iAD in for some mixups and 50/50s. Definitely look into knocking the opponent down and then calling Kuroneko, Ryuuji, Kouko, Koujo, or the new LLEN to keep the opponent blocking as well as to make enough visual mess to make your mixup hard to react to.

Yuuki 2A > 5B > 5C > 236[C] > 236AB > AC > 236[C] > 236AB + Tomo 5{S} (Hold on 3rd hit of 236[C] > jc > land > 236C > 236AB > 41236BC is a 5509 damage combo. Not bad. @Inaba_Resident From what I remember from the trailers, yes, PS4 can crossplay PS3. @Vesperion Not sure on Emi, but I know for sure Tatsuya gets a major speed boost that rivals Rentaros, and something about his specials or something. Not sure since the wiki isn't updated on his Trump.

Having seen what other people are doing for big damage, I got a higher damage Yuuki combo that only requires one Trump. Big thanks to Tyler Jepson on Youtube if you happen to see this. 5B > 5C > 236[C] > 236AB > AC > 236[C] > 236AB + Tomo 5{S} (Hold on 3rd hit of 236[C] > jc (This is to move forward more so 236C catches the airborne opponent) > land > 236C > 236AB > Combo Blast > 236C > 236AB > 41236BC. Does 6079. Does 6116 if you replace the 3rd and 4th 236Cs with 5ABs.
