* '''MAX Electricity:''' When attaining MAX Electricity, any attack that involves RHCP is buffed, whether that's damage, frame data, mechanics, or hit amount. MAX turns Akira from a below average character into a literal dynamo of damage and mix. It also increases damage to his HHA and GHA, making meter dump combo's that much rewarding.

* '''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 and neutral gaining bonus damage from counter hit.

* '''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 RHCP 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 in HHA just to maintain Electricity at the cost of damage.

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.
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.


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.

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.  


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.

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, 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.
  • Frame Data: Akira's buttons are both quick and great on block, making his stagger pressure even more successful.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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 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.
  • Lack of Wakeup/Reversals: Outside of HHA, Akira has ZERO safe wakeup options or reversals and can struggle with strong pressure.

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.

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.

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 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.

Akira summons Red Hot Chili Pepper, who jumps out of one of three electric sparks on the ground and attacks the opponent. All versions are fantastic for interrupting zoning, as Red Hot Chili Pepper will track the opponent no matter the distance. Keep in mind that Red Hot Chili Pepper will be vulnerable to attack during use.

  • Provides hard knockdown.
  • Not counted as a projectile, making it able to beat projectile-nullifying moves or abilities.
  • Data in [] is for MAX Electricity.
    • Causes crumple or an HKD on air hit when performed with MAX Electricity. Can be a combo starter with Flash Cancel if close enough, and an excellent tool in juggles when close enough.

L version:

  • Red Hot Chili Pepper jumps from the first to the third spark
  • Arc of jump allows this to serve as a longer ranged anti-air

M version:

  • Red Hot Chili Pepper jumps from the second to the third spark.

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.
  • In MAX, this version sees use in combo due to its launch potential.

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, but does not overfill into MAX Electricity.
  • 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.
  • Aira's only invincible reversal.
