because lisa is more negative then -6 after most of her strings and has an i11 high and an i13 mid
+1 is threatening, Whenever i play rachel i do my best to get that +1 because i then have a 10 frame jab
Akira at that point has a 9 frame jab which he then can get another +1 and no it's not a situtational need because everytime i see most sarah's they're doing the dumb pp just so they can get a 9 frame jab which akira doesn't need either, his neutral is scary enough as is and even after the nerfs does a shit load of damage
Because Lisa is more negative then -6? wat?
+1 is a small threat. It's only a big threat for players that don't know what they doing or simply just not adapting and hitting a button right after it. Technically speaking you are the one falling for that and and not adapting to it. This seems to be just an ordinary rant of not absorbing character knowledge+playing online. It's moments like these that I read it as if you want it to be neutral/negative so that Rachel "specifically" can get advantage, "You" particularly. Rachel does not struggle against that in it's entirety. And yes it is a situational need. You are resetting the areas of specific points to revive the offense of the character. That added +1 is against the mashiness which is the blessing part of it.
I bolded that specific part for you because I need to know what Akira players have you faced that does that. 1) It's a high. 2) High crush 3) Do not just sit there holding that block button 4) Lack of character information.
Akira was toned down because he had a ridiculous amazing grab in vanilla that was quite possibly the best grab in the game. It's like Mila's 6T on steroids. He had that nerf coming, but to remove the basic +1 P that allows him to start off a strong offense? That's not going anywhere. Those 4 hardly track as well. The problem is that people sit there holding that block button playing online and getting blown up by online silliness.
EDIT: Alright let's not get carried away since this isn't a buff/nerf thread but rather character specifics request.
Akira 214P+K on CH should guaranteed 666P no matter what (On any stance) since that is his only potential mid tracking, make it into a true mid as well and we are all set. That's all I really want to see for the guy.
Awesome troll buff by
@Brute for Leon: 33P should be unblockable, tracking, true mid, unholdable and large hit box.
