Sorry to be a little off topic, but does the 1.03 patch have 2v2 tag capabilities or is that still strictly offline only?

One might say there are no longer any lazy bums in 1.03?

So if it isn't, we'd be playing on the broken PS3 patch version?

It's hosted on 360. They just never updated the front page details.

Counter her low strikes with :2::P: when you blocked the lows and follow up immediately with :6::6::P:. It opens up Akira's stun game.

So um, I found out how to do a 207 damage combo. It probably does more on electrified walls. No idea. It does in the xbox version.

Another awesome trick is on the stages with the wrestling ropes is that on wall splat moves, (at the right distance) it bounces the opponent back to you in a stumble, resetting the strike threshold. They're totally vulnerable to attack. Then you take a look at your spacing and you realize that...

Updated usefulness of :2::h+k:, :P:, :P:. Don't ignore this move.

If you want to see an example of someone helping, take a gander at the Akira forums and let me know what you see. I feel like I'm the only one willing to help people learn how to play him.

Took me a while to try it out, but it's also -21. Hoorah fastest!

Yup. When you try to play a mind trick on a brainless opponent, it's not very effective. Don't give up on it, but know your opponent before trying it.

Yup. I tried it out last night, and you're right. I did find that a good alternative for the :4::6::6::p+k: is to do :214::6::P:. :3::p+k:, :1::P:, :P:, :h:, :214::6::P: <Wall Splat Happens Here>, :4::3::P:, :2::P:, :2::P:, :3::h+k:, :P:, :4::6::6::p+k:. 107 damage It is less damage than...

In higher match games, when you're applying the pressure, it works as a good mind game. Don't expect it to fool many players below an A grade. They tend to just mash buttons.

I didn't check. I'll look into it tonight.

Bah, looks like I'll have to wait another 3 hours to get home and try it myself then.

Who wants to do me a favor? I need you to try the below combo and report back. I am at work, but I'm extremely curious if this combo would work. It relies on a wall splat bounce which i'm not certain will happen, but it might. I think if the opponent leaves their feet, the wall bounce won't...

I use it a lot. It's a great training tool. Being able to visually transfer tech is awesome.

The best I could knock down Jan Lee's H+K was from 30 to 21 frames. 3 frames faster with the new method Wah mentioned as opposed to my old method.

So in order for a game to be competitive, it needs to be made up of a complex move list?

I never said stop using him. He is what he is in this game. It's simply my preference.
