I feel so dumb, after losing to some basic zoning I finally remembered that Akihiko has that duck straight into punch works alot and can catches people off guard as well, but I do know that the punch is punishable. Just felt like venting my dumbness. I haven’t had any trouble with Mitsuru as of lately, but I’m not sure if I’ve faced any good Mitsuru’s yet, but I’ve gotten to C+ just with the 2 day’s of owning this game and it feels good
Updated OP with a little bit of info. Be sure to refer to that if you dont get a reply here. Dustloop has has basically everything you need to know except frame date. Speaking of frame data if anyone can find some please let me know.

so i was trying to find a consistent aki’s bnb. So does the jump b loop only work on certain charaters?
Guys, does 2D or 5D deals any kind of blockstun?
Do you mean the 5AA 5B J.B 5AA 5B J.B etc. loop? if so yes that only works on characters that are taller than akihiko I’m pretty sure, like Yu, Yosuke, and Mitsuru, and they can’t be crouching either.
or do you mean 5B J.B 5B J.B etc.? those work on everyone from what I’ve seen.
Yeah, they are both safe midscreen. Although if your trying to dash cancel into pressure you will probably get beat by mashers.
the 5bb jb 5b j.b but i thought i was 2b j.b 2b j.b. How do I set up for this loop correctly? What I’ve been doing is combo whatever to rush punch cancel into DP then 2b and start the loop but seem like people can recover out of it after 1 loop.
You’re cyclone meter has to be at least level 2. so 5AA 5B EX Kill Rush 4B 6D DP 2B J.B 5B J.B 5B J.B 5B J.B 5AA 2A+B Kill Rush Corkscrew. That is what I’ve been doing to get cyclone to at least level 2 so i can land the 2B after the DP.
Also you may be delaying the J.B to much.There is only supposed to be a slight delay.
Merging since there were two of these.
cool thanks. I guess I have much to explore about the cyclone level lol.
The Yukiko match-up makes me want to take a knee and punch myself in the face.

Any new high level footage of Akihiko? I’m looking for stuff to steal.
I think I’ve hit a dead end with akihiko. There’s a guy on XBL that plays a good one his name is “A Plectrum” who runs circles around me.

Anyone got any advice for this matchup?
maybe more instant blocks with a few counter moves thrown in.
either the matchup sucks or i REALLY suck, but can someone help me with the yukiko matchup? i have no idea what to do against her. it seems like her persona can 100% keep akihiko out.
I try to bide my time and inch forward, because a lot of yukikos will start to try to auto combo you if you get too close (least a lot I played did because I’m still sucky lvl). That that point I would pick my time and try to open her up then not let her get away. But gotta watch out for the DP.
Yeah that matchup sucks for me too. I played DJ Houshen (he always picks those oddball ass characters like Yukiko lol) and he bodied me 5-0 her zoning seems really strong.
