    As someone said earlier here or in the shoutbox, there is stil the 6kp alternative for good damage on LW and ok damage on others, so it's not that much knee or nothing. But this should weight in the balance of people saying Akira is easy to play (you get less damage if you don't do the hard stuff).

    I must say that kindah almost all the people saying he is "silly op easy blahblah" that often share the same traits:
    -you never see them play Akira
    -they have never tried to win a tourney with him with good players in it
    -if you see them play Akira, they will not do the "hard stuff that is not that hard but is op"

    I was under the impression that 33 inputs always added 1frame to exe., I think i was mistaken , but do all 2_3 inputs add 1frame unless already crouching? I know for fact that kage 2_3 p (yougeki) is 15frame but cant punish high recovery unless at 16, and can only punish 15 from low recovery. (not that yougeki should be used for punish)

    2_3 moves always add a frame when done from standing because you need that frame to get crouching (those are basically "from crouch" moves).

    Moves with a dash input like 66, 33 or 44 can be done with no added dashframe.

    In vanilla 33 inputs always added a frame, but they changed this.

    It takes a frame to become crouching from standing so you can do from crouching moves but it's no longer quite the same thing.

    Those are quite obvious.
    The hard stuff (that they don't use) is now in fact noob stuff that any beginner can pull out, since they supposedly made him way easier than in vanilla vf...

    All credibility lost.. I'm by far is not a noob and some of Akira damaging bob combos are strict and difficult to do without days to weeks practice.. You kicking some bullshit.

    Your kinda preaching to choir there, dude. That's pretty obvious sarcasm.

    Oh maybe that wasn't clear, I was pointing out that funny talk about Akira being a noob character since Final Showdown.
