iora

they did bi-b in a combo video to CH for 10.8k maybe both work lol

its bi-b for akihikos IK, not a

if he does 214d, you just wait a sec to do it, then full charge dp its a call out though. matchups silly lol

only time i ever did 236236x super to beat a move was yu's raging lion or whatever its called.

i think those can be improved on. i will let you know if i find something better

Not an issue. Like you said, you will just be down on points. Would prefer people to make as many as they can, but obviously things happen. To the 2 people from Texas. You are currently not dedicated into either bracket. If we get enough to warrant a west coast bracket, I will need your opinion as to each bracket would be better for you connection wise Get back to me when you can please.

http://shoryuken.com/2012/08/24/under-night-in-birth-gameplay-videos-for-the-entire-cast/ Officially Carmine is hype as fuck. A lot of the cast looks sick though. Not that we'll see this state side for... ever... but im still interested anyway.

updated, and sorry to hear sinder. maybe in the future! @sosicknashfan you are from texas. i am putting in 'division to be determined' depending on... 1- us having a west division in the first place 2- which division you have a better connection to might determine which you will play for. contact me if this is an issue. ^^

Up to 9 already! I like it! Remember to spread the word around if you can!

you got it, sometime later today ill look em over

random notes i have experienced since XBL is like 80% akihiko it seems every time i get on. granted most of it is lower level stuff. havent gotten a long set with a good akihiko yet. =\ -214B clean beats aki's jump-c to open the round. if they get into that habit, you can do that even once, they will probably never do it again. it will CH for a shitton since itll hit 2nd hit only and take a persona card. -if you are pressuring, doing a lot of j.b crossups can discourage his usage of DP. once you train him off it, you can open a lot more options. -if your akihiko likes to autopilot that 'rush punches, into sway, into slide forward, into AoA/Throw/Whatever', throwing out a DP when he sways will beat all of those options. he can just block if he doesnt hit a button, but it can get him to stop autopiloting. -if they do the magnet persona move at neutral from like half-screen or more, you can 5c, and itll drag with you, extending the range, and tagging him if he immediately rushes you down after the move. -j.d into IAD forward j.a/j.b is useful as oki at times -be patient if hes on your shit, his pokes are generally faster, and he gets big damage off some of his better CHs. the pressure isnt insanely hard to block, so let him get impatient. -rolling out of his pressure is surprisingly good if he you notice him trying to bait DPs a lot. -i tend to avoid 236x, since he has a lot of tools to invul it, and he can punish it at almost any range. -brutal impact-b has enough invul to avoid his IK and ch him for a billion damage. if any of these are wrong. let me know. i do need to play a good aki, so these might be things that can be beaten.

i will watch a few and opinion them later tonight. pick out 3 in particular if you know ones that you think should be evaluated, otherwise ill just pick random ones.

and yet you still never message me. you out'd yourself now. for shame lichbro. or should i say lichno

I played Lambs, Plat, and Ragna in BB and Fuck Aigis. I am the 5%. ^^

Going to try for always friday or sat. Mostly always friday if i can. I'll make the thread for the next one like a day after the current one ends, so you have time to get ready.

suggestion for combo thread whatever you end up doing maybe have like (in whatever situation/axe level/whatever) 1 or 2 'beginner friendly' non-optimal combos [color em blue or something] 1 or 2 good combos that are reliable and close to optimal [bold em or something] then the swag shit for max damage/max swag just so its easy a glance to look up shit like 'i dont know a AA 2b FC combo, ill learn the bold one first' or something like that. just a thought

like 3.7 and doesnt give you super after, just practicing to understand the limits of the 214x -> 5a meterless combos. plus practicing timing is always good. your combo is better in every way lol

ggs whoever i played glad i got to runback that yu who beat me twice in ranked and stole my c+, then beat him 8-1 in player match. made me feel a lot better ^^

i never see lich on xbl. does he even play, or is poor old justin too out of the loop to be playing against hip young kanjis?

(red axe, CH starter, in the corner) 5a 2b 2c 214b 5a 2b 214a 5a 2b 214a they always tech before the boldest 214a. Is it my execution or is this just not possible? i know you cant super after it, but just wodering it the combo can be done. and if not, what ender would be better? thanks.

hes not your buddy, guy. thats why he didnt get it.
