Is an overhead as of 1.5, meaning TK j.214C is unreactable like the A version, but you can combo off it like the B version. | |||

Akihiko |

Overview
Backstory
Playstyle
Akihiko has a unique "rekka" mechanic that allows him to do extended juggle combos for high damage. Certain moves (throw, 5B, 66, 214X) can be followed up with Cyclone moves that build Cyclone level for each successive cancel (visible as a counter next to the Assist Gauge). Moves deal more damage at higher Cyclone levels, and certain moves (namely Sonic Blow) gain additional hitstun/untech at higher levels. Since Akihiko can chain Cyclone moves together indefinitely, it is possible to do extended combos at level 5 Cyclone for extremely high damage.

5A

5B

---|---|---|---|---|---|
Akihiko's old Kill Rush special, with some modifications. Notably, both the startup and forward movement speed are faster, making it a great move for compensating for Akihiko's lack of range. As an added bonus, Akihiko will not perform all the punches unless it actually connects, making it much safer on whiff. Hugely buffed in 1.5 with the travel distance being roughly twice (!) as far, allowing you to punish bad neutral and pushblock attempts easily. |
5C
5C | Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Akihiko's old 5C with considerable start-up buffs making it an actual legitimate mixup and combo tool now. Notably, with the faster startup, it can be used as a knockdown ender for juggle combos, and always gives a safejump. One of his few Persona moves. |
2A
2A | Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Fast jab with the same range and startup as 4A. Mostly interchangeable with 4A but generally has a better hitbox since it doesn't whiff on crouch as easily. Note that 2A > 5A will likely whiff if not point-blank so go into 4A or 5B. |
2B
2B | Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Standard anti-air with fast startup and surprisingly decent range (longer than 5A) despite appearances. |
2C

Akihiko's only low so you'll be using it a lot for mixups. Significantly buffed in 1.5 with Cyclone version now comboing into tons of stuff on hit. |

j.C
j.C |
Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag
| ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Better range than 5C but slower and more unsafe on block. Usable as a surprise overhead or to bait anti-airs, but make sure you have assist available to make it safe and/or pick up the combo. |
Universal Moves
Ground Throw
Ground Throw 5B+C |
Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag
| ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Somewhat unique throw that acts as a Cyclone move. Akihiko performs the standard run-up throw if done normally, or a Ducking into throw if done in Cyclone, but note that the automatic Ducking is slower than doing 66 manually then throwing. Ducking version adds two Cyclone levels regardless of whether you do it manually or automatically. |
Double Uppercut
Double Uppercut 5A+D |
Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag
| ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Not great as a DP due to having a pretty bad hitbox, but conversely makes a decent high damage juggle combo ender as it almost always gives hard KD and the damage goes up considerably with Cyclone level. |

Extra Skills
EX Corkscrew
EX Corkscrew 236C |
Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag

---|---|---|---|---|---|
SB Ducking into Corkscrew. Extremely fast grounded crossup that can be covered with assist to make a sandwich even if the opponent manages to block it. In fact, it's so fast that if done off 5B, 2C, etc. it's actually gapless, so if you want it to actually hit crossup, you'll need to delay it slightly. |
