Overview
"I am the indomitable Thunder God!" | |
Lore: | An Imperial Japanese officer of Agarthan descent for the Gesellschaft war institution, trained with martial arts for a task: to protect the Gesellschaft's new invention, a massive Blitz Engine in a submarine through a trip in the Artic. Having an Agarthan bloodline, Akatsuki was the first successful super soldier with equipped Blitz Motor and its tactical Blitz rubber suit, dubbed him as "Prototyp Nr. 1", hence to the original Motor version he used. Little did he know, the submarine was stuck in the ice, and Akatsuki only remained alive in cryogenic stasis. 50 years later, Akatsuki wakes up to a new landscape, and realizing this was a plot for the Gesellschaft higher ups against him and his godlike potential, he decides to go on a rampage to destroy all Blitz Motors and the source of its power, equipped with his own, as the reawakened Thunder God. |
Playstyle
Pros
Cons
- Very solid screen carry. Optimal combos can carry fullscreen with little to no effort
- Solid projectile game. B Projectile being very fast and EX Projectile shooting out multiple orbs
- Signature B Tatsu (C Tatsu in his home series) is very reliable. EX Tatsu causes wallbounces, leading to solo conversions for high damage
- High solo damage, specially in the corner where he does not need meter to extend combos.
- Strong support overall, 5P is amazing at locking down the opponent, 4P has amazing floating time and 6P is a fast projectile.
- Can unload all of your meter in a single combo, making him a monster in resonance.
- B Smart combo makes Akatsuki airborne, limiting followup/cancel options
- Due to Reflector being his reversal action while his Shoryuken-type special Human Cannon is assist only, Akatsuki both no longer plays like a classic shoto and has lost access to a reliable anti-air reversal
- Somewhat weak mid-range game
- Needs meter to extend his combos midscreen
- His burst hitbox is on the smaller side.
