I also forgot to mention that if the kanji does his r-action, that last thing you want to be doing is crossing up with j.b over j.c

I think your asking the wrong question haha. For one I've never heard of someone choosing J.b over J.c for the AC crossup. J.b is much smaller but I can see it could have its uses. Anyways, I dont think that actual cross up has anything to do with kanji. It has to do with the player. I could be fighting anybody and use what you've mentioned. Tricks or oki/gimmicks only work on a person to person basis. Not the match up as a whole. The bottom line to this match up is if your open 2-3 times, your dead. Kanjis 5c doesn't really outrange your 5c. His 5d covers quite farther. Problem for kanji is there's a sweet spot where he cant reach you between his 5c and 5d. There's where you want to camp. They try all sorts of things to get to that spot. Jump into an ex throw/665 C/open special after baiting/ and simply turtling in. If he trys to jump in 2b. If he trys to micro dash his 5C kill rush counter him for a good 4k. If he baits you into an open special shake it off. And get back out of range. If he turtles in try kill rush>4a>6c>Throw. If he is mashing through your rekka then 4d>6b and punish hard.

Im starting to find out so yes. Air assault is a good meterless ender. Ive been testing out what a good OMC can do after you've landed but for now options are still small.

Oh wow, sounds similar to my 5 ch corner combo. Thats a lvl 2 cyclone b+d correct? I wonder if you can get any jump reps with it? Or maybe a Sj.b >214 a>A+B+C>go from there

My whole problem started with the combo section being 90% 5b fc. Its really hard to land it fc. You have to bait an r-action, or an open special, or evasive maneuver a slow move. Don't get me wrong, 7k-10k off it on fc is amazing. But relying too much on such a gimmicky situation is bad salt. My personal oki in the corner, which I get people into a lot is 5c(most people block for that sweep). They get up, I do it again. They give up and finally go high and then I sweep. Not everyone reacts like this but everytime I perfect someone its because they never got out of the corner. 5c on Ch in corner, ex corkscrew, things you do in everyday matches didn't have combos here. So I spent some time finding them and posted them on here. I want his midrange capacity to grow more than his "i have 150 heat and a burst! MUST land 5b fc!"...

I believe this is in Akihikos favor a lot actually. Shes slow. really slow... Bait her R-action(always be ready for it). Jab alot, theres not much she can do about it, hers is way to slow. If she trys to out space you, try to land that kill rush counter combo on her whiffs. Once you start punishing her r-action, she'll give up with it, and its basically all she has.

Kazi is right about this one. If you try to kill rush mixup a kanji, he can just newb throw you and it'll literally throw you through anything you pull out. My only options mid kill rush is 214 d, but even then he can just use C to hit you. I've fought really good kanjis that know this and will turtle waiting for the mistake. You have to play extreme footsies, basically only jab, or 5c when at its edge. When you land an opening go for your combo. Dont oki him to hard, i'd say bait him more then try to mix him up

Thats one thing I enjoy about akihiko is that hes scary with meter. I win all the time with 1 hp left(or close to it) because the opponent will get sloppy and ill come back for half their health or more. Another interesting thing is 5b Fc has enough hitstun to link his AOA. Idk how valid this is, but it could lead to something

thiat is what I mean. That was good dude. You stayed calm when conveying your points. People trying to put out a fire with gasoline. Its amusing. Anyways I realize my approach to the matter wasn't most effecient and that the game just came out a week ago so maybe im expecting to much.

hahaha you people. This guy comes in here cussing and making a fool of himself and your going tell me to chill? chill your tits holy anus? who SAYS that. lmao. If you want to respectfully convey your message or points. Do it so. Not with vulgarity, hypocrisy, or idiocy. I came in here with a condescending attitude cause quite frankly most of you suck. If you wana show your calm and collected or complain im not being so, THEN stoop to my level? you have to be retarded. You have to be right?

See, I dont think YOU know what SMP is. Im aware it decreases your damage rate. What you fail to realize(not surprised, your an idiot) is sometimes you have to smp to achieve a bigger combo pay off. Means to an end. Was that to complex for you? I can simplify it for you. Just ask

I like how you wana quote me to something I didn't say and think your cool. Your nothing bro. And if you actually read what I said, im basing the skill level of the community of my matches, not this thread. Man at this rate i think you don't know how to read at all. Id go back and check my words before you come off full blown retarded. And heroic legacy. Idc how good your neutral if you catch me and do 1k, and I catch you and do 5k. Its as simple as knowing your guy and hitting training. There's no excuse for sucking it up. I never said how good you are is based off how cool your combo is. Whats coolness have to do with skill? sometimes I swear this community is backwards. Its as if you don't read what your replying too.

It was more about sharing the combos than my rant. Then this guy comes in to counter my statements when it was never really about them. I get its a new game, but every akihiko i've ever fought resorts to 5a(xn). Theres some really good tools that lead to really amazing dmg I wanted to point out.

ok one 5c is safe if you dash cancel. So as an oki tool its amazing. On counter its 3.7k. Do you see me saying on block genius? no. 2nd of all ex corkscrew is very unsafe on block but ty capn obvious! I said it has invincibility, its SUPPOSED to punish. And no 2b is only ok, if you dont have the timing to counter an anti air that yours problem not mine. Lastly im basing it off hmm idk the 300-400 matches ive played online. I like how you wana attack me for assumptions then make your own. Get out of here

Why aren't people actively looking for MORE combos? are you content with whats here? I have some I found out about I shall list here, but i'm disappointed because there is main tools that haven't even been discussed. His 5c on counter in the corner. Really? no one uses this for mixup oki? come on. 5c>236a>4a>6d>B+D>Sj.b>214 A 3400 5c>66>5b>j.b>5a>5a>5a>4a>6c>6b 3700 what about 236 d>6a+b? no one does this either? yes you do right? its full screen invincibilty, come on. 236 d>6a+b>5b>j.b>5a>5a>5a>4a>6c>6b>236236 b 4900 I havent seen a single combo mention boomerang hook on counter. Its always 4a+b, or a lvl 2 charge. Ok cool what about countering a jump in with 214 a? 214 a>4a>6c>4a>6c>4b(max charge)>5c>a+b+c>(insert jump loop combo or your choice) anyways. Sorry that it came out in a rant, but i'm annoyed at how lackluster the online communities skill is.

I never said hate. I know enough shooter fans in real life to know the crowd. You can keep your posts full of vulgarity till you run out of steam. It doesn't make your argument stronger. This isn't about judging people, its about the end result of actually getting into MLG. All i'm saying is, it isn't all some rainbow. A bad outcome is just as likely to happen as a good one.

Very well composed argument. I agree that MLG could very well be the stepping stone the community needs to grow more vibrant and strong. However, the problem with such a notion is that fame runs a fine line against infamy, and with a community so stacked against us in the first place, it could inhibit our potential growth as much as it could spread it. I’m more on the fence about it myself, but I do like your perspective towards the matter. Besides the fact that publicity could be what we need, would you accept a trend in its place? Because that could simply be all MLG would do for us.

The reality Klaige, is that we don't want MLG into our community. MLG is full of shooting fans, and generally just the underbelly(trolls) of the gaming community. Fighters in general fill a small niche as it is, let alone 2d fighters. Our community is helpful, cordial, and way more intelligent overall. I've played pretty much every arc systems game to date, and one thing I can tell you is; I have yet to meet a single person outside of fighting fans that even knows what P4a is. It is only when more people as a whole open up to fighters that we as a community grow. Until then, leave the crappy shooter playerbase out of our awesome community.
