Introduction

Aki graces the stage with her otherworldly space control and evasive movement. She can summon the all-mighty MukiRose to assist her in battle.

Playstyle

Aki is a zoner who utilizes the all-mighty MukiRose to lock down her opponents.

Pick if you like

Avoid if you dislike

Zoning: Aki's projectiles have relatively low recovery and cover large angles, and when paired with her 3M and 22M, it can be very hard to approach her. 22S also makes Aki’s projectiles deal two hits, which makes it hard for people to fight her with their own projectiles. 3H also low profiles most projectiles in the game. Anti-Airs: Aki has amazing anti-air options to deal with opponents jumping at her in 5M and 2H. On top of being fast and air unblockable, her 5M has head invulnerability through the move's active frames. Ranged Conversions: 2M and 6M are great high range pokes that can be converted into 3H for full combos. 3M can also be hit-confirmed into 22H for a high damage combo. Good Meter Build: Aki builds both meters decently well with her heavy special usage. This leads to her often having a surplus of meter that can be used for assist setups. Belly Dancing

Dubious Defense: Aki has a hard time mashing out of pressure and punishing certain options due to her 2L and 5L having very short range. Her 236S has short range and an extremely long recovery if it doesn't hit, and her [2]8H is weaker in the corner. She also has only 950 health, leaving little room for error.

Recommended Collabs

• Fauna - Call-In is a hard to navigate ground hazard that offers mix-ups as well when used for oki. Off-Collab can be a good defensive tool that also helps alleviate her low health.
• Iroha - Dangerous Call-In that destroys air approaches and allows combo pickups. Off-Collab can also stall opponents who try to jump long enough to allow you to 2H unblockable them.
• Subaru - Off-Collab is two attacks that sweep across the whole screen horizontally which snuffs most approaches to her zoning.
• Marine - Annoying Off-Collab that covers ground approaches while Aki is free to swat the opponent out of the air for jumping.

However, it has a large deadzone in front of Aki and only actually hits at a very specific range. This move can also anti-air at that range, but it's not a hitbox for the entire rising portion of the animation.

The second attack (uppercut) whiffs on all crouchers except for Coco. These attributes of the two strikes make this move somewhat unreliable in fully connecting with the opponent.

Going Down Air Only

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv. on Block Adv. on Hit Invulnerability - - - - 34 - - None Aki will teleport down from the air to the ground with very low recovery. This is the only attack that she can cancel her air normals into. There is no minimum height for this teleport, so Aki can tiger knee it to perform a grounded 'fake-out' teleport that doesn't go anywhere. This move is also extremely useful for getting out of the air back down to the ground without having to protect yourself with an air normal that would project a hurtbox.

If it is blocked or whiffs, Aki will perform a very long drinking animation that is extremely punishable.
