    As for learning Akira for your first character, this will kind of depend on you. How well are your skills at inputing joystick commands? Do you consider yourself to be pretty fast and acurate? Akira is perhaps a little harder to learn to play than some of the other characters, but for the most part I feel like he is about the same. Akira has some moves, however, that are pretty difficult to do. Once you get some good practice in though, its really not that hard. He does have some combos that are difficult (at least for me) to achieve consistently. IMO, he is the one of the best, if not the best, character in the game. I think that Lau is an excellent person to learn some funamentals with, as well as Wolf. But, experiment for yourself and see how you like. If you like Akira, stick with him until your are well rounded at his techinues.
    If you need a movelist or combosheet, Try VirtuaProject.com. Well, gotta run. Hope you can make it up to Rocky's Friday or Saturday night. I will be there each day. Friday from around 4:30-8pm and Saturday about 8:30pm.

    Re: Akira

    gg's folx once again. I see my Lei Fei has some issues to pan out still, I tend to commit way to much and it seems to have passed over to my Shun too....who's been all but dead for the past month.

    Blonde One keep it up with Jacky, I never thought I'd say this but it was quite refreshing playing against you simply because noone seems to play Jacky with any regularity. We got a primary Lau/Akira/Wolf, a Kage/Lau/Akira, a Lau/Akira, and a dedicated Lion. So Jacky is definately a different state of affairs ;)

    Didn't count myself because I'm a whore....Jeffry/LeiFei/Aoi/Vanessa/ShunDi/Akira/blah blah blah ;)

    Re: Akira

    Haf anyone study the choice of characters a person use?

    It looks to me that most ppl who use Akira tend to oso use Lau, Lion and Kage... Isit bcos they are competent of modified moves?
    For ppl who use Jeffrey, they somehow oso use Wolf... I can't say that i'm right but hope that my findings are right.

    Good show last night guys. It was great to have everyone there. We should try to do this once a week. How about next sat same time?

    GhostDog, you're the man. It totally sucks that you haven't even been able to play the game for the last month. You were rusty, but still the GhostDog. Thanks for coming.

    gaishou, we had some good fights. Keep it up.

    Aki2k1, did I play you last night? I know you were there though...I saw you. =)

    Unc, as long as you're around I hope you keep playing.
    ps: I'm gonna phuk your Jeffry up next time ;)

    Enk, I don't know if were trying, but you were playing better than usual...nice.

    Where was The Myth?

    Let's do this next week.

    Well guys Saturday was the most fun I've had playing a game since TTT first came out at my mall. Good games to all.
    UNC- You're no joke, Your play is the most solid and therefore makes me better at comming up with effective mixups, I much enjoyed losing $10 on saturday to a "Monster Jeffrey" =). I'll get ya.
    GHOSTDOG- first time meeting you. One can tell when watching you play that you have an incredibly solid game, you just need to move down here and play us 24-7 thats all.
    Akira- You got my PM
    Dude and IMF- I'll call you guys this week, I'll probably be in the area either tues. or wed. "my cell is off for good, got a new job and thus a new cell phone"
    Gaishou- I played your pai and she's coming along, But I watched your sarah on the computer, "DOG" you've got to go full time with her. Overall nice stuff. Us Bryants have to stick together =).
    ENK- ? =)

    To all guys playing at Rocky's on Sat night.....well done!!
    Unc- still one of the best if not so. I really enjoy playing you as you can play almost anyone effectively.

    Enk- I don't recall if we played or not, but I have played a hundred or so matches with you and it's always difficult. Your very talented, especially with Kage. I cannot get a grasp on your mixups. AARRGGHH!!

    the blonde one- awesome game. your jacky skills are excellent. I look forward to more matches with you.

    IMF- also, a very talented player. some how, you have a way of stealing priority on low punches (how do you do that). anyway, nice playing you. I will let you know about playing later this week.

    The dude- still an incredible Lion. you rock with him. I saw you doing some funking-freaky stuff. keep it up.

    ghostdog- I only got to see your game, and with that I am glad I didn't play you (just kidding). Your akira was tight. hopefully, next trip I can play you. be cool if you could move down. at any rate, it was nice meeting you.

    Sorry to everyone for having to leave so early. I wish I could have stayed to enjoy the gathering. next time I will show you an 8 hit wall combo with akira.
    talk to you later,

    Good games to you all. I had a headache that night and it was distracting my attention all night. Imagine a shooting pain through your head every time you tried to concentrate. No no, Imagine having your head in a grip-like vice and every time you thought about something the vice would become tighter and tighter until it feels like your head explodes, yeah that about explains how it felt. I played Eder in MvC2 and beat him twice in a row, he was a bit surprised because he was talking shit about my game saying it's sucky, but I showed him last night when I kick his Cable Storm Capt Commando team with my Sentinel Blackheart Capt Commando team, and I kicked his Spiral, Sentinel, Cable team. Still had fun showing off a little on VF4 though and it was nice meeting Ghostdog. I saw some real potential in all of you that night. Now, anyone want to play for money? ::big grin:: Ah forget it, just keep practicing.

    Friday night I may be able to make. Not positive, yet though.
    I will let you know. I can prolly get up there Tues night after 8pm.
    Also, very frusturated right now as I went to EB and Babbages to check on any vf4 release updates and last I heard was the middle of Feb. Now it is March 13. AARRGGHH!! Oh well.

    nice playing you all that i did. got some very good practice with all of you, cept enk and akira2k (maybe). pai's always been a fun char to use, but i think it may be time to move on and just play her from time to time. it seems to me she is VERY weak...which i can't seem to utilize her speed better, which sucks ass. dude also pointed out to me she can get the SHIT juggled out of her. i think sarah is calling me along with aoi........akira always has been someone i've liked playing with and i saw some nasty shit that night. finally got to play some good akira's, and get my brains beat in....
    |:-O~~ . well i look forward to playing you all again.

    I had fun playing everyone. It was well worth the trip. It would be great if Jacksonville still had VF4, then you guys could come up here sometime. You would have been playing on rotten sticks, but a faulty VF4 machine is better than nothing, right? Now who should I start with....

    Akira 2001- I wish I had a chance to play you. My Akira wasn't as tight as I wanted, but thanks for the compliment. I did see a couple of your matches (once with Akira and Wolf, twice with Lau). I hope you keep playing, and I hope you keep your level of enthusiasm about the game. It was nice meeting you, and next time I will play you.

    Gaishou- It was nice meeting you. I wish I had a chance to play against your Aoi. Maybe pick up a trick or two. Ah well...Maybe next time.

    Enkindu- I had a tough time with your Kage. You use a lot of low kicks, mid kicks, df+P, and d+P+K. And I liked your TFT combos. And your shinshodan moves surprised me. It was great playing against you.

    Blonde_One- Nice Jacky. Lots of elbows, beatknuckle combos, lightning kicks, and low backfists. And then you started using the dodging attack-> Trip Hammer throw. I just wish I had given you more of a challenge. It was nice to meet and play you.

    UnCauzi- What can I say...low punch, low kick, low punch, low kick, throw....But if it works, why change it? I hope you keep playing, I want a rematch!

    The Dude- Your Lion is wicked. Stop watching those Chibita movie clips. Just joking. You've really improved your game since the last time we played. Your throw selection is a lot better, and you didn't miss too many combo followups. Next time, I'll put up a better fight. I got my brains beat in, but it was fun.

    Iron Monkey Fist- Would stop moving around so much?! I had a good time playing your Akira. First time, I believe. Rusty game or not, I still would have trouble with your Lau. I'm just glad I didn't see Wolf.

    I'm looking forward to playing you guys again. It would be nice if I could play every weekend, but Orlando is a little out of the way. I'll do it again sometime soon.
