* '''MAX Electricity:''' When attaining MAX Electricity, any attack that involves Red Hot Chili Pepper is buffed in a variety of ways, whether that's damage, frame data, mechanics, or hit amount. MAX turns Akira from a below-average character into a dynamo of damage and mix. It also increases damage to his HHA and GHA, making meter dump combos that much more rewarding.
* '''MAX Electricity:''' When attaining MAX Electricity, any attack that involves Red Hot Chili Pepper is buffed in a variety of ways, such as damage, frame data, mechanics, or hit amount. MAX Electricity turns 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.
* '''Frame Data:''' Akira's buttons are both quick and great on block, making his stagger pressure even more successful.
* '''Frame Data:''' Akira's buttons are both quick and great on block, making his stagger pressure even more powerful.
* '''Launching Jump-ins:''' User mode J.H and Stand mode J.M both launch, allowing Akira to score full damaging combos off air-to-air situations or setups.
* '''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 combos and block strings often generate meter very well, even more so while in MAX. These give him access to FC and higher combo damage, with or without MAX.
* '''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.
* '''I'll drag you in!:''' Between his collection of safe jumps, high damage grabs, and reward off of strike-throw mixups, Akira finds great success in abusing his grabs. They also all provide hard knockdowns, allowing Akira to charge.
* '''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.
* '''HHA:''' Akira's HHA may be one of the better in the game. It has a long range, is invincible is generally safe on block at max range, does solid damage by itself, and automatically refills electricity to full. It is also fast enough to catch whiffs in neutral, gaining bonus damage from counter-hit.
* '''Only Needs his Pinky:''' Akira's HHA may be one of the better in the game. It has both long range and invincibility, is generally safe on block at max range, does solid damage by itself, and automatically refills the Electricity Gauge to full. It is also fast enough to catch whiffs in neutral, gaining bonus damage from landing as a Counter Hit.

  |cons =
* '''Dead Battery:''' Should Akira run out of electricity, he is put in an extremely disadvantageous position until he's able to find an opportunity to fill the gauge back up. 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. When out of juice, Akira may only do User mode normals and HHA, losing even his throw until the meter is back to partial charge. This can also force him to end combos early with HHA just to maintain Electricity at the cost of damage.
* '''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 until he's able to find an opportunity to fill it back up. 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 in Stand On), and all special moves drain a specific amount of Electricity, players must have an intimate knowledge of resource management. MAX will also affect his combo game, specifically the usability of User 5H on grounded opponents.
* '''Resource Management:''' As the Electricity Gauge is constantly draining (more so in Stand On), and all special moves drain a specific amount of Electricity, players must have an intimate knowledge of resource management. MAX Electricity will also affect his combo game, specifically the usability of Stand Off 5H on grounded opponents.
* '''Resource Hungry:''' Finding time to charge during block strings or neutral can be extremely difficult, and can require conditioning the opponent not to challenge you at the end of blockstrings so you can get a brief moment to charge. This will also require Akira to occasionally sacrifice Oki for charge.
* '''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 and can struggle with strong pressure.
* '''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. Additionally running out of Electrciity 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 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, 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. Electricity passively drains less while in User.

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.

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, such as damage, frame data, mechanics, or hit amount. MAX Electricity turns 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, making his stagger pressure even more powerful.
  • 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.
  • Only Needs his Pinky: Akira's HHA may be one of the better in the game. It has both long range and invincibility, is generally safe on block at max range, does solid damage by itself, and automatically refills the Electricity Gauge to full. It is also fast enough to catch whiffs in neutral, gaining bonus damage from landing as a Counter Hit.
  • 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 until he's able to find an opportunity to fill it back up. 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 in Stand On), and all special moves drain a specific amount of Electricity, players must have an intimate knowledge of resource management. MAX Electricity will also affect his combo game, specifically the usability of Stand Off 5H on grounded opponents.
  • 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, 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. 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 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.
