Gameplay

Akiha is a character who thrives on locking the opponent down and punishing them with extended combos and setplay.

She navigates neutral with her fast but short-ranged normals and situational special attacks that cover specific areas of the screen. She can't reliably out-poke most characters and must rely on good movement to land punishes on the opponent. This fact is compounded by her short airdash and the limited coverage on most of her long-range specials like Painting The Moon (623X) and Crushing Beasts (22X).

Once Akiha lands a knockdown however, she can easily start her strong okizeme game with her Brilliant Wheel (236X), a multi-purpose tool for okizeme, area-denial, combo extension, and most importantly giving her time to go into mix-ups and/or continue pressure. She can be technical, but a well-played Akiha can make opponent's life hell once she gets them pinned down.

Pick if you like Avoid if you dislike
  • Powerful and Flexible Okizeme: Akiha’s ability to get her game running off a single knockdown is incredibly strong, having the ability to choose between her varied types of setups. Option coverage, mixup, or just hard numbers into a safejump, she can pick and choose according to the situation.
  • Strong Space Control: Akiha's specials, such as (j.)236X and 623X, enforce a tremendous amount of space control and allow her to cover her approach or enable a strong keep away game. Even once an opponent finds their way through her zoning, she has an assortment of strong normals to back her up.
  • Great Pressure: Even if the opponent decides to hold Akiha's okizeme, her followup pressure is no slouch. Boasting meterless and metered plus frames, dominant pressure normals, and even a comboable command grab, she has a very varied and effective set of pressure tools.
  • High Damage: Akiha's optimized combo routes increase her damage output greatly, placing her amongst the highest damage dealers in the cast.
  • Limited Mobility: Akiha's movement is noticeably slower than average, and as such she’s often limited in the aggressive approaches she can present.
  • Struggles Against Projectiles: With Akiha's reliance on (j.)236X and 623X to win neutral via defensive space control, these options getting shut down by a strong grounded projectile game really puts her on the back foot.

Excellent combo filler as it leads to 214B, giving good damage and corner carry. The clash frames can make this a comparatively strong meaty to 236X, as the clash frames can eat mashing, reversals, and Moon Drive Moon Skills alike.

  • All characters crouch under the wheel, enabling throw mixups.
  • Pushes grounded opponents back, but will not pick them up.
  • Causes airborne opponents to rise slightly.
  • Hits four times.

Setplay tool and air approach denier. Be careful with this one, as your opponent can dash under the wheel while it's active. Particularly shines as a setplay tool. Opponents who stand shield the ring are vulnerable to lows like 2A or 22B, and opponents who crouch under the ring are vulnerable to throws and overheads.

Same as ground 236C, landing j.236C gives Akiha plenty of time to set up j.236B in the middle of her jump arc for a potent mixup.

Hits once as Akiha jumps, then four more times as she comes back down.

  • Air unblockable and covers a lot of airspace. Good at catching random jumps in neutral at midrange.
  • The first hitbox is fast but whiffs on crouchers.
    • Can lead to the move swapping sides or even whiffing completely over the opponent's head midscreen.
    • When stand blocked, the first hit is a true blockstring into the second.
  • Second part comes out frame 29. Uncrouchable overhead.
    • Stand shieldable on reaction when the first part whiffs, leading to a guaranteed punish.
    • Only one hit is overhead; after successfully stand blocking once, the rest of the hits can be crouch blocked.
  • Jump cancellable on block, giving an opportunity to try to establish pressure or go for a mixup. Be wary of whiffing if the opponent crouched the final hits.
  • Useful combo tool, particularly in Moon Drive. Can also be used as a slow clash reversal in Moon Drive; the main attraction here is the horizontal movement.

Safe pressure ender.

  • Hits low.
  • -1 at close to max range and +3 at absolute max range. Capitalizing on the frame advantage is difficult at that distance, however, and the effective startup is slower.

Frame trap and safe pressure ender.

  • Hits low.
  • +3 at close to max range and +7 at absolute max range. Capitalizing on the frame advantage is difficult at that distance, however, and the effective startup is slower.
  • Also shines as a meaty, as its range is just a hair longer than Heat activation and it blows up high shield (which people will do to avoid B ring).

Hard knockdown combo ender. Use this in pushed combos where 236C wouldn't knock down.

  • Hits low.
  • +2, though EX Wheel is the better pressure reset.

  • Combination of 22A's speed and 22B's frame advantage.
Looks pretty good on paper but it doesn't give a hard knockdown and is generally overshadowed by her other Moon Skills.

Command grab super that grants a followup combo.

  • No longer possible for opponents to jump after the super-flash. This now offers another way to hit players trying to block.
  • When punishing shield it gives about 1k more damage than a normal throw would, if you don't spend additional resources. This is a pretty fair meter-to-damage conversion, and compares favorably with other options like 236C ender.
  • Especially likely to to hit when used under 236B, since the wheel will catch attempts to preemptively jump. Beware people preemptively DPing or using moon drive though.

  • Restores a small amount of recoverable health on connect.
  • Command grab that transitions to a strike if it whiffs.
  • 18f gap between the command grab and the strike components.
