Why do they insist on making Akira boring?

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, to be honest, they don't. It's people who play him who do. You can come up with different combos. I happen to like varying my combos, regardless of their damage.

Want a good Akira combo that's damaging, hard to do, and different? Yoho (MC), P, Knee, DbPm. I can do this up to Lion - great damage, and fun to do.

cheers,

Yoho (MC), P, Knee, DbPm

[/ QUOTE ] I'm aware of that one, but it's essentially the same idea as: Yoho, P, m-shrm, m-dblpm. I was thinking more along the lines of: Yoho, P, b f+P, and ending with DJK/m-dblpm/K+G P/Knee. I just want more variety in his combos. I've seen Teppei (from daioh) do stuff like: PIT, RBC, df+P+K+G P, m-dblpm. That's so refreshing. We need more of that. /versus/images/icons/cool.gif

 

According to one source the yoho is only -12, making it less risky than that would be ridiculous. Akira gets a free 80 points every time it hits, he should be a little more than throwable.

re: why do they have to lower the float and hence make akira's float combos more boring: again balance, I think the theory goes like this: you're "supposed" to get 80 pts for an average float combo vs mids, 95-100 for lightweights, and 60-65 for heavies. In other words 80's the standard and you can get + or - 20 points for different weight classes. But akira's been sort of breaking that rule from the start - for yoho he gets over 100 vs mw, over 90 vs heavies, and 110+ ( ! ) vs LW. Lowering the float is really the only way to fix that unless you want to knock 20 pts off the yoho damage.

 

I've moved the flame section of the this thread to General, if anyone is interested in continuing the discussion there.

If anyone has something non-gameplay-related to say, or they want to reply to that sort of thing, put it in the "wahh wahhh" thread in general. I want to keep this thread as close to informative/useful as possible. DON'T reply with "thanks creed" or "fuck off creed" /versus/images/icons/laugh.gif , but DO feel free to reply with new evo ver.B info, speculations, or analysis of what was posted already.

Brad changes from that page,

PK miss time recovery changed
FC,d/f+P changed to mid P reversal. Last time it was treated as an elbow which is very good.
b+p,k recovery changed.
d+p+k becomes guard half
does anyone have any idea what does "guard half" means?
d+p+K,f+p damaged dropped and recovery changed.
come to think of it they weakened this move a lot for ver B. Maybe can be exploited in Ver A. <img src="/versus/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

all slipping sway moves changed to minor counter... I think last time when you are interrupted, it is considered a normal hit and now it become minor counter which is pretty bad.


d/f,d/f+p+g throw becomes easier to tech roll. I never knew it was hard to tech roll, maybe can try for pounce more often.

b,f+p+g throw damage drop BAD.

All the changes postition throws recovery changed. Wonder for the bettter or worse..??

Question about these "recovery changed" which are longer and which are shorter?
