GGs tonight Syph.

I think I've decided to just main Aoi.

Yeah, good games Mike. As usual, I had a great time playing with you.

I think Aoi is your strongest character. Damn those low throws... I just don't wanna crouch anymore, lol xD

I think Aoi is the closest thing you can get to a DoA character. Can reverse anything. Good command throws. Crouching throws. Good attack-string pressure & delays. Tits. Animu love-slave archetype. She's got it all.

Only thing she really lacks is canned mid/low attack-string mix up, although that's not really huge in VF anyway.

Absolutly, BUT the Aoi's reversals, have not comparison with the holds of DoA. The active frames, are much less and is required almost surgical precision in the execution. The risk/reward ratio, is very high...same with Akira's reversals.

Okay, kiddies. Point is she can Reverse/Counter/Sabaki/Catch/Hold/Deflect/Parry/Thrust/Thrust just about ANYTHING, much like the average DoA character can. That was the point of the statement. It's definitely a rarity to be able to catch spinning-type moves. Not sure about if she's the only character that can handle "flying kick" moves like Jacky's Fire Darts.

I want to learn her just to be able to defend against her well, but tbh, I actually hate her. She's very quick/nimble and seriously has a counter for everything. Quite irritating if your oppoenent has some of your character's strings memorized.

Main Jean and Lion and good Aoi eat my Jean up, my lion needs lotsa work...also, I think Akira is easier to manage in Final Showdown, some of his bnb are not so complex to pull off, I might pick him up.

I'll leave 2 longass videos with lots of matches. About +3 hours of casual fights, lol. Featuring TRI Mike, Allan Paris, WiZzYx, Mr.Wah and me.


The quality is not the best, but I believe it's decent enough.

Yes. Aoi, can reverse everything. Can reverse on the ground, back turned...

Sorry Wizzy, I accidentally deleted your previous post as my browser glitched up and showed it as a double post. :(

Glad you're playing. How are you liking it?

It's alright. Takes some getting used to. Still in the realm of dealing with low/high jab poke spams. Counter to everything I heard, there doesn't seem to be many attacks that give frame advantage on block. Wolf for example as far as I can tell only has :P:...
