Mobile Suit Gundam: Ex Revue/Acguy

Overview

Overview

Seeking redemption for his underwhelming performance in the Z'gok, Soldier 2 returns piloting the Acguy. Acguy is an amphibious mobile suit ideal for stealth as it's reactors left only a trace heat signature. In EX Revue, Acguy is a rushdown character with slow walk speed, but excellent pressure tools and crossups galore. The main way Acguy moves is using his Power Claw special which allows him to climb across the top of the stage much faster than he can move on the ground.

Playstyle

Pros	Cons
Strong Against Zoning: Power Claw is an incredible tool in neutral that can allow Acguy to bypass zoning and most pokes with ease. Great in the Air: Acguy has incredible air buttons that allow for deadly crossups and extremely high reward on hit.	Best in the Air: Acguy’s walk speed is incredibly slow and some pokes are unsafe unless cancelled into similarly risky special moves, meaning Acguy is at a disadvantage trying to play grounded. Weak Grab: Because Acguy lacks a conventional grab, Acguy’s strike/throw game is much less threatening than other members of the cast.

Acguy: Akahana

Jumps:	One
Air Throw:	No
Pummel Grab:	Yes
Defense:	0

j.B	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel - High - - - - - No A great jump in, but other attacks do the job as well as, if not better than j.B so it's not the most used attack in Acguy's arsenal.

j.2B	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel - High - - - - - No Acguy becomes a being of pure hitbox, active from frame 1 and hitting multiple times, this button allows for instant overheads that still hit on the way down.
