Free Step Dodge

When they nerfed his half circle throw having that guaranteed punch I dropped him. I was so mad lol

Not just that, he lost his best throw of course. He lost the 66P wall slam, no longer got guaranteed 66P off of Counter Hit 2P, got his parry juggle nerfed, lost launch height on 66K.

And given around about... 20+ recovery frames on just about everything on whiff and block which means buffering and chaining moves together as well as frame traps are kaput. Buffer anything and he just stands there so he's stiff and hard to use.

Damn man.

He was an amazing character, even so he wasn't top tier. He and Kokoro were done an injustice in this game just like Ein. He'll get the proper video montage for his goodbye, then he's going in the archives.

I still Akira but I use him like shit :-(

@Zeo The strange input delay is the reason why I don't care about masting him :-(

Mastering him.

He has so many wall splat options that losing 66P doesn't mean shit. They didn't change his parry juggles, but I'm not sure about his launch height on 66K.
