Profile-akatsuki.png

He hides. To carry out the mission assigned to him, and for the love of country. He was
considered dead, and over half a century later, resurfaces. Surrounded by devices unfamiliar,
he fights to protect himself. How he wandered into this night is a mystery. I hope you may
forgive the lack of details... he is only a guest.

Story

A mysterious man who suddenly appeared in modern day. He was tasked with an important mission, and seeks to see it through unbeknownst to many. Awakened from his deep sleep, the landscape spread before him was, shall we say, foreign. In a world he had no clue how to navigate, he continues to fight, protecting the secret weapon bound to his body. His armament of lightning has it all, projectiles, anti-airs, lunging attacks. My goodness, he almost sounds like the main character. What could he actually be...?

EX...S...? I fear the power of this device is classified.
I cannot disclose that information.

Gameplay

Akatsuki is a strong, well-rounded character with good damage. He excels at close to mid range and has options to cover most situations.

His basic gameplan revolves around playing a very shoto-like neutral to get in and maintain offense. He boasts his strong hitboxes with fast startup that allow him to contest his opponents at close range. Once he gets in, it is difficult to get him off.

Akatsuki's neutral suffers at further ranges as his ground mobility is locked to a step dash. His normals can't fight back at long ranges and has to rely on dash-blocking and using 236A to get in. His high/low mix-up is also at an average level and has to play more around close-range neutral, frame traps, and tick throw.

From squish and Juushichi's Akatsuki Primer


Strengths Weaknesses
  • Strong close ranged buttons with great frame data for offense or defense.
  • Some of the highest meterless damage of the cast when in the corner.
  • One of the best back dashes in the game (tied with Hyde and Gordeau).
  • Has various ways to keep himself even or plus on block at mid range and closer.
  • 22X Uppercut reversal that is difficult to cross up, B version has full invul.
  • Akatsuki lacks safe long range options in contrast to the rest of the cast.
  • Locked step-dash distance instead of run can hurt him against defensively evasive opponents.
  • Has some midscreen combos can be back teched, forcing him to chase down characters again.
  • Lacks some easy traditional anti-air/assault option select buttons (ala Gordeau 2C, Hyde 3C).

An overhead chop with great range.

Akatsuki's staple launcher. A very important move that is used to confirm into basically every combo. It is also Akatsuki's best starter. It is very punishable on block, but can be chain shifted on block, allowing for it to be used more to poke and frame traps when in vorpal. Has good head invuln, so it can also be used as an anti-air, making it a very rewarding way to punish obvious/bad jumping.

    • For Full Charge version: Airborne: 1~101, Standing: 102~108.
  • Requires at least 100 meter and puts you in Veil Off state which grants 20% more damage, but drains your meter at a slow rate.
  • Meter drains much slower when health is below 30% (orange health).
  • You can hold down A+B+C to delay activation and gain a few extra benefits, but doing so is highly unrecommended unless trying to run the clock as this move already has a long start up as is.

  • CVO cancel is treated the same as EX cancel, you can only CVO when you can EX and the opponent is in hit/blockstun.
    • Including in the air.
  • Requires at least 100 meter and consumes vorpal state and drains meter at a fast rate.
  • Has a lot of hitstun, making it easy to combo from.
  • Grants an additional bounce if both have been used in the combo so far.
    • If the opponent does end up hitting the ground during the combo, damage is prorated.
  • Pressing A+B+C can be used for a shortcut for Infinite Worth.
  • Used mostly as a way to tack on extra damage, or to reliably close out the round.

Tatsu kick that hit three times with the last hit being an overhead. Can only be punished on block if the 3rd hit is shielded. With resources, this is a very strong neutral tool. During blockstrings, cancel into j.236C or 236C to reset pressure. If you chain shift after the second hit, you can punish shields or attempt a high/low with j.5C/2a. This move can also be used to chase down reversal back dash.

One of the more important tools for Akatsuki at neutral. 22C is cancellable from both 236A and 236B even on whiff. When spacing you want to trick your opponent into jumping over your fireball then cancel into this move. You can also link after EX fireball in the corner for the kill.

Akatsuki becomes surrounded by a pillar of light which goes into a cinematic on hit.

  • Must have less than 30% health (orange health) to use.
  • After the cinematic, characters will be moved to the middle of the stage, regardless of where they were positioned before.
  • Due to the cost, it is usually not recommended to use this move unless it will kill the opponent.
