Akira Otoishi is a minor villain in the fourth part of ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'', Diamond is Unbreakable. Made a Stand User by Keicho Nijimura, he kills him and steals the Bow and Arrow to create Stand Users for the purpose of killing or driving out the main group so that he may commit crimes and rock out to his adoring fans in peace. He wields the electricity-manipulating Stand, Red Hot Chili Pepper.

*'''Electricity Gauge''': Akira is governed by a special gauge, which he needs to charge in order to use his special moves, as well as enhance their performance.

* '''Good Damage:''' MAX Electricity alters Akira's moves, generally granting him greater damage in combos.
* '''MAX Electricity:''' When attaining MAX Electricity, any attack that involves Red Hot Chili Pepper is buffed in a variety of ways, turning Akira from a below-average character into a dynamo of damage and mix-ups. His [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Akira Otoishi#Heart Heat Attack|HHA]] and [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Akira Otoishi#Great Heat Attack|GHA]] are also enhanced, making meter dump combos much more rewarding.
* '''Pro 2:''' TBD
* '''Frame Data:''' Akira's buttons are both quick and great on block, granting him powerful stagger pressure.
* '''Pro 3:''' TBD
* '''Launching Jump-ins:''' Stand Off j.H and Stand On j.M both launch airborne opponents, allowing Akira to score full damaging combos off air-to-air situations or setups.
* '''Quick Charge:''' Akira's combos and blockstrings often generate meter very well (even more so while in MAX Electricity), granting him generous access to Flash Cancels and higher combo damage.
* '''Close and Personal:''' Between his collection of safejumps, assortment of high damage grabs, and reward off of strike/throw mixups, Akira finds great success in abusing his Throw game. They also all provide hard knockdowns, allowing Akira to charge safely.
  |cons =
  |cons =
* '''Needs Electricity:''' Akira needs to manage the Electricity Gauge the whole match, and running out of it will put him at a severe disadvantage until he's able to refill it.
* '''Dead Battery:''' Should the Electricity Gauge run out, Akira loses access to a large portion of his toolset, immediately putting him in an extremely disadvantageous position. This can be disastrous during combos, as he and Red Hot Chili Pepper will play through a drained animation that both drops the combo and allows for a counterattack from the opponent.
* '''Con 2:''' TBD
* '''Resource Management:''' As the Electricity Gauge is constantly draining (more so while in Stand On), and all special moves drain a specific amount of Electricity, players must have an intimate knowledge of resource management.
* '''No Sockets Found:''' Finding time to charge during blockstrings or neutral can be extremely difficult, and can require conditioning the opponent not to challenge Akira at the end of blockstrings so as to get a brief moment to charge. This will also require Akira to occasionally sacrifice oki for charge.
* '''Lack of Wakeup/Reversals:''' Outside of HHA, Akira has ZERO safe wakeup options or reversals, meaning he can struggle when dealing with strong pressure.

===Electricity Gauge===
===Electricity Gauge===
Exclusive to Akira is a special gauge that directly affects his abilities depending on how much of it is filled, its power constantly draining and being consumed whenever he uses certain abilities or has Red Hot Chili Pepper active.

Located on top of the Heart Heat Gauge, the '''Electricity Gauge''' is a special resource exclusive to Akira. It directly affects his abilities depending on how much of it is filled, its power constantly draining and being consumed whenever he uses certain abilities or has Red Hot Chili Pepper active.


The Electricity Gauge drains passively over time, but is also consumed by using Akira's special moves (the amount of electricity consumed depending on the attack). He must avoid draining it completely, as if it is empty, he will be unable to use his Throw, special moves, or even summon Red Hot Chili Pepper, leaving only his Stand Off normals available. Upon fully draining, the gauge will refill itself passively so long as Akira remains in Stand Off, but will start draining again after refilling a certain amount.
The Electricity Gauge drains passively over time (draining faster while Akira is in Stand On), but is also consumed by using Akira's special moves (the amount of Electricity consumed depending on the attack). Draining it completely must be avoided: if it is empty, Akira will be unable to use his Throw, special moves (with [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Akira Otoishi#236T|one exception]]), or even summon Red Hot Chili Pepper, leaving only his Stand Off normals available. Additionally, running out of Electricity while Red Hot Chili Pepper is on-screen forces a drained animation, leaving him vulnerable. Upon fully draining, the gauge will refill itself passively so long as Akira remains in Stand Off, but will start draining again after refilling about 1/4 of the gauge.  


Akira can manually refill the Electricity Gauge by using [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Akira Otoishi#22S|either version of]] "[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Akira Otoishi#Stand 22S|Charge]]", his [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Akira Otoishi#Heart Heart Attack|HHA]] or his [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Akira Otoishi#Great Heart Attack|GHA]]. Notably, Akira can overfill the gauge to obtain "MAX Electricity", increasing the damage and speed of his electricity-based attacks as well as altering their properties, with Red Hot Chili Pepper visually becoming brighter as more sparks and electric crackles come off of it. If Akira summons Red Hot Chili Pepper with MAX Electricity, he will remain in that state until the gauge runs out or he unsummons his Stand.

Notably, the Electricity Gauge can be overfilled to obtain '''MAX Electricity''', increasing the damage and speed of his electricity-based attacks as well as altering their properties, with Red Hot Chili Pepper visually becoming brighter as more sparks and electric crackles come off of it. If Akira obtains MAX Electricity and summons Red Hot Chili Pepper (or if he obtains it with Red Hot Chili Pepper already summoned), he will remain in that state until the gauge runs out or he unsummons his Stand.

*Plus 6 on block, but with lots of pushback. Needs backwall pressure to act as a proper frametrap into 5L or tick throw option, but with Akira's high advantage on knockdowns, rotating for backwall is usually possible.

*Builds decent meter, allowing Akira to maintain his expensive playstyle.

Introduction

Akira Otoishi is a minor villain in the fourth part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Diamond is Unbreakable. Made a Stand User by Keicho Nijimura, he kills him and steals the Bow and Arrow to create Stand Users for the purpose of killing or driving out the main group so that he may commit crimes and rock out to his adoring fans in peace. He wields the electricity-manipulating Stand, Red Hot Chili Pepper.

  • Electricity Gauge: Akira is governed by a special gauge, which he needs to charge in order to use his special moves, as well as enhance their performance.
Playstyle
JJASBR Akira Small Icon.png Akira Otoishi is a Stand character who utilizes his Electricity Gauge to make outstanding performances at his opponent's expense.
Pros Cons
  • MAX Electricity: When attaining MAX Electricity, any attack that involves Red Hot Chili Pepper is buffed in a variety of ways, turning Akira from a below-average character into a dynamo of damage and mix-ups. His HHA and GHA are also enhanced, making meter dump combos much more rewarding.
  • Frame Data: Akira's buttons are both quick and great on block, granting him powerful stagger pressure.
  • Launching Jump-ins: Stand Off j.H and Stand On j.M both launch airborne opponents, allowing Akira to score full damaging combos off air-to-air situations or setups.
  • Quick Charge: Akira's combos and blockstrings often generate meter very well (even more so while in MAX Electricity), granting him generous access to Flash Cancels and higher combo damage.
  • Close and Personal: Between his collection of safejumps, assortment of high damage grabs, and reward off of strike/throw mixups, Akira finds great success in abusing his Throw game. They also all provide hard knockdowns, allowing Akira to charge safely.
  • Dead Battery: Should the Electricity Gauge run out, Akira loses access to a large portion of his toolset, immediately putting him in an extremely disadvantageous position. This can be disastrous during combos, as he and Red Hot Chili Pepper will play through a drained animation that both drops the combo and allows for a counterattack from the opponent.
  • Resource Management: As the Electricity Gauge is constantly draining (more so while in Stand On), and all special moves drain a specific amount of Electricity, players must have an intimate knowledge of resource management.
  • No Sockets Found: Finding time to charge during blockstrings or neutral can be extremely difficult, and can require conditioning the opponent not to challenge Akira at the end of blockstrings so as to get a brief moment to charge. This will also require Akira to occasionally sacrifice oki for charge.
  • Lack of Wakeup/Reversals: Outside of HHA, Akira has ZERO safe wakeup options or reversals, meaning he can struggle when dealing with strong pressure.

Electricity Gauge

Located on top of the Heart Heat Gauge, the Electricity Gauge is a special resource exclusive to Akira. It directly affects his abilities depending on how much of it is filled, its power constantly draining and being consumed whenever he uses certain abilities or has Red Hot Chili Pepper active.

The Electricity Gauge drains passively over time (draining faster while Akira is in Stand On), but is also consumed by using Akira's special moves (the amount of Electricity consumed depending on the attack). Draining it completely must be avoided: if it is empty, Akira will be unable to use his Throw, special moves (with one exception), or even summon Red Hot Chili Pepper, leaving only his Stand Off normals available. Additionally, running out of Electricity while Red Hot Chili Pepper is on-screen forces a drained animation, leaving him vulnerable. Upon fully draining, the gauge will refill itself passively so long as Akira remains in Stand Off, but will start draining again after refilling about 1/4 of the gauge.

Akira can manually refill the Electricity Gauge by using either version of "Charge", his HHA or his GHA; he will also gain Electricity Gauge when getting hit by electricity-based attacks (as well as taking 10% less damage from them, save some exceptions). Notably, the Electricity Gauge can be overfilled to obtain MAX Electricity, increasing the damage and speed of his electricity-based attacks as well as altering their properties, with Red Hot Chili Pepper visually becoming brighter as more sparks and electric crackles come off of it. If Akira obtains MAX Electricity and summons Red Hot Chili Pepper (or if he obtains it with Red Hot Chili Pepper already summoned), he will remain in that state until the gauge runs out or he unsummons his Stand.

Heavy 35 [60] Mid 28* - - -44 HKD [Crumple]

Akira summons Red Hot Chili Pepper, who jumps out of one of three electric sparks on the ground and attacks the opponent.

*Startup calculated based on the opponent's static position.

  • The version used determines the spot where Red Hot Chili Pepper jumps out of.
    • The offset at which it appears is centered around the position of the opponent, tracking them no matter the distance.
  • Causes knockback on hit, in addition to causing hard knockdown.
    • When used at MAX Electricity, causes a crumple against grounded opponents, while causing a hard knockdown against airborne ones.
  • Cannot trigger Counters.
  • Can be a combo starter with Flash Cancel if close enough, as well as an excellent tool in juggles.
  • Because Red Hot Chili Pepper itself is not counted as a projectile (allowing it to beat projectile-nullifying moves or abilities), this makes it fantastic for interrupting zoning. Just keep in mind that the Stand is still vulnerable to attack.

L version:

  • Red Hot Chili Pepper jumps from the first to the third spark.
  • The arc of jump allows this to serve as a longer-ranged anti-air.
  • Sends airborne opponents away from Akira on hit.
    • Sends opponents further away and at a lower angle when used at MAX Electricity.

M version:

  • Red Hot Chili Pepper jumps from the second to the third spark.
  • Sends airborne opponents away from Akira on hit, as well as launching them higher.
    • Airborne opponents are not launched away from Akira when used at MAX Electricity.

H version:

  • Red Hot Chili Pepper jumps from the third to the first spark.
  • When used within a certain distance, Red Hot Chili Pepper attacks from behind the opponent.
  • Leaves airborne opponents in place on hit.
    • Launches straight up when used at MAX Electricity, seeing use in combos as a result.

  • The only special move in Akira's arsenal not to involve Red Hot Chili Pepper; unaffected by the Electricity Gauge as a result.
  • Refills up to 1 HH Gauge if successfully completed.
  • Can be canceled from normal attacks.
    • If done from a normal that ends the round, Akira will finish the solo (and the building of the meter) before the next round begins.

Red Hot Chili Pepper punches downwards, following up with an uppercut.

  • Plus enough on hit to link into 66 5M for high damage meterless options.
  • Plus 6 on block, but with lots of pushback. Needs backwall pressure to act as a proper frametrap into 5L or tick throw option, but with Akira's high advantage on knockdowns, rotating for backwall is usually possible.

Red Hot Chili Pepper rushes a moderate distance forward in a flurry of flashy punches.

  • Range, damage and startup all change depending on the version used.
  • Can be chained into either "This just makes me stronger!" or "Gonna knock your ass out!".
    • While chaining into the former is a true blockstring, chaining into the latter is not.
  • Stand Rush-compatible.
    • Even if a Stand Rush is performed during this move, its follow-ups will still come out when the input is made afterwards.
  • Outside of MAX Electricity, the move's damage output can change depending on the amount of Electricity Gauge stored.

L version:

  • Red Hot Chili Pepper stays next to Akira.
  • Damage is increased to 54 (18*3) if Akira has 3/4 or more of the Electricity Gauge filled.

  • Stand Rush-compatible.
  • Can be Flash Canceled to start a combo.
  • Horrendously unsafe on block. Never use in a blockstring.

Red Hot Chili Pepper delivers a final blow downwards.

  • Move performance is identical across all versions.
  • Causes crumple against grounded opponents, while causing hard knockdown against airborne ones.
    • This hard knockdown is unique in that it does not override other hit effects.
  • Stand Rush-compatible.
  • Can be used in some relatively gimmicky mix-ups, such as jumping over or using Stand Off 2L to force a wrong block.

Red Hot Chili Pepper teasingly points to the side of its face, inviting the opponent to attack it. If the opponent triggers the counter, Red Hot Chili Pepper attacks with an outward double-handed swipe, blasting them with electricity.

  • Startup, active time, and recovery all change with the version used.
  • Launches on hit and causes hard knockdown.
  • Can be Flash Canceled on a successful activation.
  • Behavior changes when used at MAX Electricity:
    • Red Hot Chili Pepper follows the initial strike with an uppercut while Akira jams out.

Red Hot Chili Pepper reaches forward a short distance. If successful, it converts the opponent into electricity and drags them into the ground, resurfaces and blasts them high into the air.

  • Range, damage and startup all change depending on the version used.
  • Causes hard knockdown on a successful Throw.
  • MAX Electricity does not change the move's damage (the one instance where it doesn't do so), instead reducing its startup.
  • Recovers fairly quickly on a successful Throw, allowing Akira to Charge or summon Assists.
  • All versions can be canceled into HHA, but this may whiff on some characters.
  • Builds decent meter, allowing Akira to maintain his expensive playstyle.
  • When the opponent's back is to the wall, can be used as a meterless combo starter.
  • A sidewall meterless combo is possible with correct sidewall placement.

L version:

  • Best used after forcing opponents to respect Akira's plus frames and staggers.
  • Becomes one of fastest command grabs in the game (if not the fastest) when used at MAX Electricity.

M version:

  • Will tick off his Light buttons outside of MAX Electricity.

Akira taunts the opponent as Red Hot Chili Pepper delivers an uppercut with its little finger out. If it connects, Red Hot Chili Pepper converts the opponent into electricity and drags them into the ground as Akira begins a brief guitar solo.

  • Data in [] is for MAX Electricity.
  • Refills the Electricity Gauge upon use, and overfills into MAX Electricity on hit.
  • Akira's only invincible reversal.
  • A fantastic HHA in general. Its fast startup and generous hitbox makes it very good for reversals and anti-airing, as well as punishing gaps in pressure and quickly refilling the Electricity Gauge.

  • Refills the Electricity Gauge upon use, but does not overfill into MAX Electricity.
  • Can be connected off an air hit of Stand Off 5H.
  • Terrible as a reversal due to being slow and not sporting a good vertical hitbox, which also makes it an awful option against jump-ins.
