10 AKI mechanics the tutorial DOESN'T teach you
Ойындар
Today we're going over the newest DLC charater for Street Fighter 6, AKI! Aki has a lot of unique aspects to her, from her taunt to her poison mechanic to her bizarre crawling stance, so let's talk about all the things that make her unique so you'll be ready when it's time to hop online!
Here's where I found some of these:
her taunt: / 1707022558229327911
ambiguous crossup (thanks james): / 1706913324334784966
slide vs headbutt: / 1707020354265469105

Her other taunt builds super meter, she has two functional taunts. Although try using them effectively in a match 😂

@OccuredJakub12 DeeJays isn't a taunt, it's a part of his base moveset technically since it can be cancelled during the animation, and doesn't use the taunt command. I think it's listed in his command list. AKIs only gains 1 bar, while DeeJays speedy maracas move can be held for a full 3 bars.

here's another: one of her other taunts also gives her a bar of Super meter. she ingests poison and as she reacts to it, she gains meter.

Aki is exactly what this game needed. She's a nasty freak who's a total weirdo. She adds energy to the roster and just outright bizarre shenanigans that this game desperately lacked. I man Voldo, Makoto and Arakune, so it seems like Aki was literally made for me.

Love AKI so far, Only got to rent her for an 2 hours, but in that time I learned so much about her. For a "Zoner" her corner pressure is insane. Also, Level 2 can punish fireballs from fulls screen. Her buttons are really amazing.
FINALLY a use for Zangief's stomp. 😆
I'm sure Marisa can also get a rolling knock down. Cool video overall! AKI seems like a fine addition to the game.

Best research on AKI so far. Congrats, man, fantastic content.
You dropped a lot of gems in this video, especially towards the end 👑 💯
Her ex snake step can only be countered with a grab, it's immune to pretty much everything else
7:30 she can also cancel all that on whiff which enables some cool mix-ups
Fantastic video jmcrofts, thanks!
Did some trials during the lunch break and story mode only, but heyy shee seems fun. The juggle and stance combo might make her a bit tooo hard for me, but she feels worth the investment.

@@ardidsonriente2223 Yeah it's not a very good use of meter but it's good to be aware of in an instance where you need just a little bit more damage to win you the round. Very much agree on the style points as well lol.
1:19 Honda has that anti thot mechanic fr
You can tell they had fun making her
Not mentioned: her Level 2 Super leaves an even larger, much longer-lasting puddle on the ground. If you have the meter, it's *the* best way to keep up her corner pressure.
First time I got confounded by the crouching HK being anti-air and crouching HP being the knockdown sweep was Lei Lei from Vampire Hunter.
That's so fucking briliiant, knowing you're playing both makoto (for a number of reasons I never saw before) and elements of fang.
While watching reality teen mom shows with my wife, I have your videos playing to soothe my brain and help me focus. Literally the only videos I can focus on while still listening to other things. For that,I thank you
4:35 I will say an easier way to setup safejump is to buffer a 2HP immediately after the rolling stun, then buffer jump. In general for safejumps, the magic number you're looking for is frame advantage equal to the number of jump frames of your character minus 3 (or minus 4 when you do a jumping attack, as attacks add one extra frame of landing recovery) In the instance of A.K.I., she has a 47 frame jump, so you're looking for a +44 knockdown for a safejump. the rolling knockdown is +84 if A.K.I. takes no other actions, and 2HP is 40 frames total.

Also after the rolling stun, you can drop puddle and immediately throw a fireball which on their wakeup is: +10 on block +17 on hit Is DI safe and beats a number of reversal options Guarantees poison This character's kinda nutty

Some things that rolling stun -> puddle -> fireball beats: ALL of JP's wakeups. Marisa/Honda's armored wakeups A good chunk of Level 1s Has enough time to punish AKI slide Using OD fireball instead beats EVERY wakeup that is slower than 6 frames. So EVERY super except: Luke Level 2 Ken Level 2 Ryu Level 3 Zangief Level 3 As well as beating Blanka's OD Up Ball.
Only Yoshimitsu can avoid the puddle. As a FANG main I'm loving this character.
As an ardent lover and supporter of FANG, I am very hyped to see AKI gameplay.
There is going to be so many AKI mains. FANG chose the perfect successor.

Incredibly valuable tutorial
Great stuff.
Heaven forbid wake-up EX Shoryuken is ever beaten. I still remember the outcries of Shoto mains in SFV when that was done.
That crawling attack reminds me of Voldo from SC
Man that fireball on wake-up is strooooooong.
Ryu's lvl 2 doesn't need Denjin charge to do the rolling KD but it needs to be charged at least 1 lvl. Also Jamie can also have this knockdown with OD palm, as well as Rashid with medium or heavy enhanced Eagle Spike on punish counter
Rashid also can get it with a punish counter medium or heavy enhanced eagle spike
I WANTED THAT HONDA MEME TO BE DOABLE!
F.O.L.K.S.
I immediately saw her as a new main After I really get used to her, she will probably be my main
Man, why does Honda get everything?
How do you do the fireball cancel into slide? I can't seem to make it come out.
I preordered the game, haven't even learned the taunt button yet. Life is hard...

taunt is just pressing all 3 punches and all 3 kicks at the same time. you can also just assign it to a single button in the controls
Subbed for more A.K.I. content!
Also Seth in SFV had their crouching heavy punch as a sweep
Her OD Snake Step WILL go under Honda's Flying Head Butt.
When she makes a bubble but got disturbed, she gets angry. It's actually when she's angry
People with weird bowl cuts can only sweep using heavy punch.
Thanks bro.
Just to confirm: Orchid Spring and Normal Bubble do not trigger Toxic Blossom, but all other poison skills do?
hey jmcrofts, the patch notes said something about Lily's jump frame cancelling got removed; does that mean she can't make her SPD be grab invulnerable anymore? I don't see anything about that online

exactly, a nerf for an already bad character
Doesn't Dudley in sf4 have his sweep not on cr.hk also?

What would you say is her archetype? She seems to have a lot of anti-zoning tools but doesnt seem particularly great at zoning/rushdown herself. On a side note - Seth in SFV also has crHP as sweep and the crHK could kinda anti air like AKIs and stHK was also an anti air. So there's been precedents.

Maybe you could classify her as a defensive/reactive shoto. She kind of reminds me of base form izayoi from BlazBlue. You basically would keep people at safe ranges by leveraging fireballs and sword slashes. But You wouldn't call izayoi zoner either. Instead of building stocks to transform into a high damage mix up monster, Aki can probably just leverage her attacks to stand her ground and then push opponents to the corner after capitalizing on their approach. Once the opponent is near the corner you start punishing their escape attempts with the threat of poison puddle and large conversions.

I would classify her as a setplay character. She revolves around setting up for traps or later moves in a much more extensive way than most characters. Any character that can make an environment trap is probably a set play character

It depends on what you consider difficult honestly. Her combos can get very complex, with her stance and the poison mecanic, but she has strong neutral tools so if you think of a good strategy you can go with the flow. (All of the above is my opinion)

You can get technical with her and her combos are interesting but she’s definitely not the hardest character to use in the game. Not the easiest either. I’d say 6/10 if you wanna just phone it in. 7-8/10 if you wanna flex.
She is cool design
That OD chain grab that blows thru projectiles is literally the only thing i like about her... o guess her level 2 super is ok... however, is a fail....
Dee Jays sweep is md cr K
the AKI × Honda meme can't be done because it isn't canon. in the original 2-panel comic she is smitten with Honda's manly face, but in canon she only has eyes for her master Fang.
wait so if she does the OD slide after the fireball setup can she also beat lvl 3 AND throws?

Kinda scary how useful her kit looks combined with how appealing the character design has proven to be. Let's hope for some mild gatekeeping so we don't end up with another Leroy situation. It'll be interesting to see what her more apparent weaknesses are to compensate for all the utility. I think we're beyond the delusion that execution difficulty in mastering her alone will deter tournament players.
This monstrosity will be nerfed.
