HiguraShiki Report post Posted July 18, 2014 Would you say Akatsuki is a beginner character? Also is he more rushdown oriented or an all-rounded char. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spring_Raid Report post Posted July 18, 2014 I'd say Akatsuki's beginner friendly in terms of combos and game plan is heavily based on rushdown. He does struggle to get in against most of the cast, but can apply great pressure/frame traps once he's in. His projectile has decent horizontal range/speed for zoning and has a DP (although I don't ever see it used much). You'll also be blocking a lot so he requires patience to play.

SoWL Report post Posted July 18, 2014 I just noticed that his DP's input is 22A/B, and thought that it's so awesome to have a DP that beats cross-overs, but then remembered that this game doesn't have those Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HiguraShiki Report post Posted July 18, 2014 Apparently Aka struggles with most of the cast. Why exactly, he doesn't really seem like a bad char from what i usually see in vids Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Number 13 Report post Posted July 18, 2014 He is not inherently bad, but he seems to be out of his element in this game. He lacks adequate mobility and ranged normals/specials (outside of fireball) in a game where mobility and neutral is important. He isn't terrible but the player will have to be patient getting in to start his momentum. Although watching the Hilda and Yuzu matchup can be pretty disheartening lol. I'm probably gonna be working to main Akatsuki since I like the classic unarmed play-style in a game full of weapon/supernatural characters, but I'll have a pocket Hyde for the more depressing match-ups.

HiguraShiki Report post Posted July 19, 2014 Yea Im mostly looking to play Yuzu and Linne, but seeing Akatsuki in action, he feels like a good character to learn defense, patience, and fundamentals. Plus his unarmed fighting style is just super badass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HDKirin Report post Posted July 19, 2014 Pre-Match Character Description: He disguises. To accomplish the duty he is assigned. For his country he loves. The soldier was supposed to be dead. Fighting demon that woke up after half century. The body with hidden secret. The forever war. Why has he strayed into this night. The detail unknown. No need to know.

HiguraShiki Report post Posted July 19, 2014 ^ DEEEEP Q_Q Side note, I dono if anyone has any game experience, but we should start discussing some Akatsuki matchup strategy against the rest of the cast. I feel this char would really step up your game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I feel this char would really step up your game. I'm hoping that's the case.

HiguraShiki Report post Posted July 20, 2014 Well, lets start with the more basic characters. Akatsuki matchup vs Hyde and Linne. Any info on that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reioumu Report post Posted July 20, 2014 Everyone outspaces him and mostly do more damage as well. He has a lot of trouble doing things to the entire cast. Especially in neutral :/... Have fun playing him though, I know Senaru's Akatsuki is definitely the strongest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spring_Raid Report post Posted July 20, 2014 I still feel Akatsuki has potential, despite his short range normals and odd mobility. I also plan on playing Orie and Akatsuki will probably help supplement my fundamentals in UNIEL. @HiguraShiki - I'll start discussing more on MU's once I get my hands on the game.

Have fun playing him though, I know Senaru's Akatsuki is definitely the strongest. True, but he has pretty good pressure game and frame traps. I mean his pressure isn't as good as maybe Linne but it's pretty high up there I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HiguraShiki Report post Posted July 23, 2014 One more day until "CHESTO!!" Technically it's supposed to be released today actually. Since Japan is 10 hours ahead of American time, the 24th should be around 2PM (at least over here on the east coast). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spring_Raid Report post Posted July 23, 2014 Welp, that's even better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HiguraShiki Report post Posted July 23, 2014 Welp, that's even better. Also, I dono how our connection would be but I believe since we're both east coast, we should have a decent connection. It'll definitely help with sessions. Toast for some good training ahead. From the high level play I've seen, Akatsuki is better than people say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spring_Raid Report post Posted July 23, 2014 Sounds like a plan and I'll add you on PSN when I get home. Hopefully the netplay will be good, with us both being EC. On another note, I've been stalking HydeGaming and Jourdal's YT pages for more Akatuski vids but they've been hard to come by as of late. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The most important thing atm would be good blockstrings/frametraps and character matchup advice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
