Pfft, and you said you didn't know his weaknesses when I messaged you after we played. I knew you weren't just sidestepping every other attack for the fun of it.I'd say his biggest weakness is he's pretty linear. I think he's only got like 4 moves that actually track so he's pretty easy to side step. His bread n butter is his frame trap jabs like p and 2p so he's kind of easy to read. He's got some good setups but he relies pretty hardcore on the stun game but his stuns don't last very long.

His linearity is indeed his biggest weakpoint but his 4p is a great tracking tool, especially if your opponent starts getting predictable with sidesteps. I must dispute you though. He's a God at the stun game. 3P+K, 16Grab and 4P+K alone are some of the best stun tools in the entire game and theoretically you can keep your opponent stunned forever. I've done it. Of course it's the stun game and all your opponent has to do is guess right to end the string. But it can be pretty difficult and Akira is probably one of the best characters at the stun game.
It was in the tier discussion topic. I knew you'd been there because you posted the page after the most I made about Akira's strengths and weaknesses. So I figured you saw it. But we're getting off topic.No I was more confused about how you worded the message lol. You were referring to some thread I never read and I was just kind of like "bwah?" lol.
