Akira (Sly Bass) vs Christie

The parry's active frames were reduced by exactly one frame if I recall. That frame matters but most parries were reduced by a lot more, in retrospect you just need to be more on point with it.

I've fought it in VF. Fighting a good Akira is scary. Half your life is gone instantly. He has a high learning curve, but he compensates for that very well.

I still screw it up. I don't know anyone who is 100% with it.

I wish I could do the 1 frame knee consistently. I'd say at least 65% of the time I get it.

Should he/she have done something different being a U rank?

Thats a U rank Christie? LOL
btw great combo and in the last round!
