Akira and Sarah's needed improvements.

Worst part about that? Akira players in VF are generally the most well respected because even in that game he's still considered amazingly difficult to use. I'd like to think DOA players will be able to realize that and be able to see past "HE'S TOO OP DURR".

Nah VF players get salty like every other fighting game. Akira will be the best character in the game by and far if DOA characters remain as they are.

this helena outrage is hilarious though.

ein/leon confirmed cut: me, cow, and a couple of others express our disappointment a couple of times but in the end move on to our secondaries

lisa confirmed low tier: a handful of lisa players express their disapointment

brad not looking too good: everyone laughs at him and deems him crap tier by default

helena confirmed low tier: SOUND THE MUTHA FUCKING ALARMS! OMGWTF HOW COULD THEY! SHE LOST A JUGGLE ENDER!SHE MIGHT AS WELL NOT EVEN BE IN THE GAME NEMOAR! FLOOD TN WITH TWEETS AND EMAILS WITH BUFFS N0W! JNKFDJFKLASJKLFDSAJKLFSDAJKLFDAJL!!!111

The reason for that is probably because Helena is a way more popular character than Ein, Leon, Lisa, and Brad. You'll almost always get backlash for removing or nerfing characters, but when you do it to one of the most popular ones, and do it to such an extreme (going from top tier to bottom), you're asking for trouble.

Well, she does seem pretty popular, and I can think of two reasons why

TN always fucking up something, its in their DNA lol. Remember NGS2? No blood purple mist? Really? And EVERYBODY knows how bad NG3 turned out I know NO game company is perfect, but DAMN TN is taking it too far!

Why doesn't Akira's knock back on hit or crush highs? Apparently his "knee" isn't available in the latest build either. What gives? What's happening to Akira? =(

gotta nerf it up some more. Remove more moves and just give them less clothing and bigger chests and people won't notice the difference. JK

 

[Zeo]

What's this I hear? Akira nerfs? Oh no no no no no say it isn't so. Probably just some issues to work out with him I'm sure he'll be just fine come release and have everything he's supposed to have.

Wait for it! Everyone nerfed to Helena levels to make it balanced!

 

[Forlorn Penguin]

I haven't heard anything about Akira being nerfed. Where is this coming from?

Grap3 is probably just making a joke due to all the Helena fuss.

 

[grap3fruitman]

Uh, no, I'm not joking. Didn't anyone else watch the stream last night? I was also talking to Hubbs in the chat right after his matches on stream and he was playing Akira.

 

[EMPEROR_COW]

I didnt get the chance to go on a stream... Is helena playable?
How about genfu?

I envy you guys ... I wanna watch your stream so bad

 

[grap3fruitman]

I'm pretty sure this is the same build as i46, so no Helena. It's also not my stream. =P

His didn't knock back since his debut in DOA if I recall correctly. It only does that in VF. I was annoyed about it too when I played with him in the E3 build, but there are many other tools he has to work around it. I never read or saw anything about his just frame knee. It was in the builds before, and I don't see any reason for them to piss off Akira fans like myself by removing it.

(waits for jokes about how they pissed people off with *insert character name here*)

Hang on. If u guys are talking about the jf knee in the sane build.. its still there... What the hell are u guys talking about?

As for 1P its good that it doesnt knock back .. its still a high crush and a great combo starter

I think akiras good where he is now they better not fuck with him. Just fixs the bugs in the move inputs that werent in the e3 build

Btw Goro... You coming tomorrow? You can rep that christie n kick ass!! I swear the venue is awesome.. do not pass this up!

 

[Goro Hazuki]

Unfortunately no. I have so much work to go over before Monday. Hope the event goes well and make us proud. I am Sofa King Jelly.

 

[grap3fruitman]

Someone in the stream chat went through his moveset and mentioned that a few of Akira's moves were missing, including his knee. I'm glad to hear it's still there.
