===Backstory=== | ===Backstory=== | ||
After a fire destroyed the orphanage he called home and took the life of his younger sister Miki, Akihiko swore he would become stronger in her memory. He took up boxing and quickly become known for his skills in the ring. Some time afterwards, he awoke to the power of persona and was recruited by Mitsuru Kirijo into the group called SEES. In the year 2009, Akihiko assisted her and the rest of the SEES with fighting the arcana shadows and ending the Dark Hour. After graduating from Gekkoukan High School, Akihiko began traveling the world to hone his boxing skills and seek out worthy opponents. | |||
===Playstyle=== | ===Playstyle=== | ||
Akihiko | Akihiko is a rush-down character that utilizes a unique "rekka" system that allows him to chain special moves together for aggressive pressure and mix-ups. As he fights primarily with his fists Akihiko has short range but in exchange has high movement speed and has multiple specials that allow him to bob and weave through enemy attacks. He also has access to a persona like all the other characters from P4A. These spirits have their own hitboxes and hurtboxes, meaning they can fight from different positions than where Akihiko is and can tank hits for him too, though doing so will incur a 5% health loss (but Akihiko cannot be K.O.ed by this penalty). They are also immune to Reject Guards, making them good for pressuring opponents with lots of meter. However, Akihiko is the least reliant on his persona among the P4A cast, only using it for 5 moves; 4AAAA / 5AAAA, 5C, j.C, Maziodyne, and Earth Breaker. | ||

{{ | ===Cyclone=== | ||
<br clear | Akihiko's rekka is influenced by a level system that scales from zero to five based on the number of moves he has linked together in a single chain. Before he can use cyclone moves, however, Akihiko must use one of the moves listed below. Once in it, he can cancel any special into any other special move as well as 5C and 2C. These attacks can be used an unlimited amount of times but they cannot be used in succession (i.e. Ducking > Ducking isn't possible but Ducking > Boomerang Hook > Ducking is possible). As Akihiko chains into more specials, the cyclone level increases which grants his attacks more damage, meter, and hitstun, as well as changing their properties on hit. Keep in mind that if the chain is broken in anyway such as by jumping, using supers, getting hit, or switching characters, the cyclone level will return to zero. Also note that Akihiko's assists cannot enter cyclone state and thus aren't affected by this mechanic. | ||
'''Moves that enter Cyclone state:''' Throw, 5B, and all special moves '''except''' Corkscrew and Double Uppercut. | |||
'''Moves affected by Cyclone level:''' Throw, 5C, 2C, all special moves, and Cyclone Uppercut. | |||

Akihiko |

|
Overview
Backstory
After a fire destroyed the orphanage he called home and took the life of his younger sister Miki, Akihiko swore he would become stronger in her memory. He took up boxing and quickly become known for his skills in the ring. Some time afterwards, he awoke to the power of persona and was recruited by Mitsuru Kirijo into the group called SEES. In the year 2009, Akihiko assisted her and the rest of the SEES with fighting the arcana shadows and ending the Dark Hour. After graduating from Gekkoukan High School, Akihiko began traveling the world to hone his boxing skills and seek out worthy opponents.
Playstyle
Akihiko is a rush-down character that utilizes a unique "rekka" system that allows him to chain special moves together for aggressive pressure and mix-ups. As he fights primarily with his fists Akihiko has short range but in exchange has high movement speed and has multiple specials that allow him to bob and weave through enemy attacks. He also has access to a persona like all the other characters from P4A. These spirits have their own hitboxes and hurtboxes, meaning they can fight from different positions than where Akihiko is and can tank hits for him too, though doing so will incur a 5% health loss (but Akihiko cannot be K.O.ed by this penalty). They are also immune to Reject Guards, making them good for pressuring opponents with lots of meter. However, Akihiko is the least reliant on his persona among the P4A cast, only using it for 5 moves; 4AAAA / 5AAAA, 5C, j.C, Maziodyne, and Earth Breaker.
Strengths/Weaknesses
Strengths | Weaknesses |
---|---|
|
|
Cyclone
Akihiko's rekka is influenced by a level system that scales from zero to five based on the number of moves he has linked together in a single chain. Before he can use cyclone moves, however, Akihiko must use one of the moves listed below. Once in it, he can cancel any special into any other special move as well as 5C and 2C. These attacks can be used an unlimited amount of times but they cannot be used in succession (i.e. Ducking > Ducking isn't possible but Ducking > Boomerang Hook > Ducking is possible). As Akihiko chains into more specials, the cyclone level increases which grants his attacks more damage, meter, and hitstun, as well as changing their properties on hit. Keep in mind that if the chain is broken in anyway such as by jumping, using supers, getting hit, or switching characters, the cyclone level will return to zero. Also note that Akihiko's assists cannot enter cyclone state and thus aren't affected by this mechanic.
Moves that enter Cyclone state: Throw, 5B, and all special moves except Corkscrew and Double Uppercut.
Moves affected by Cyclone level: Throw, 5C, 2C, all special moves, and Cyclone Uppercut.
Normal Moves
4A
4A | Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag |
---|
5A
5A | Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag |
---|
5B
5B | Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
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
2C |
Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag
| ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
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.A

j.B
j.B j.AA |
Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag
| ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
First hit can be comboed into j.214A for knockdown and oki setup. |
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 the damage goes up considerably with Cyclone level. |
Skills
Corkscrew
Corkscrew 236A/B |

Ducking
Ducking 66 |
Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag
| ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Heavily buffed (yes, again) in 1.5, moving significantly farther (more than twice the distance?) in the same amount of time. Easy zoner punishes! Can be used to punish bursts if timed correctly, leading into Cyclone B starter. |
Assault Dive
Assault Dive 214A/B (air OK) |

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. |
EX Assault Dive
EX Assault Dive 214C (air OK) |

Partner Skills
5P
5P 5B |
