VF5 Akira's advance stuff and combos (ver C)

Hi everyone, here are some of the stuff I've tested and experience in Japan mainly Osaka and Tokyo had the honour of playing with the national champions and many many other top players .

As this is an advance guide, I'll omit some of the buffering(/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif) explaination needed for almost all Akira's combos. This guide is 'advance' because you need to be able to check hit and stance accurately to unleash Akira's most damaging combos. Many of these combos are not in the Black Book or Acardia articles as well. Combos are all true and cannot be techrolled out of. Many combos are not known by the Japanese when I was there.

PS. This guide will be constantly updated as I visit Japan more or find more stuff on the xbox.

<u>Combos</u>

To get it consistantly, you need to do the 3 /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif differently. For everyone except Shun, Vanessa, Lion and Leifei hold /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif while pressing the 3 /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gifs.

For Vanessa and Shun, hold /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif for the first two /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gifs only.(?)

For Lion, hold forward for all three /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gifs but for the first /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif, do a /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif kick cancel.

This will ensure the last /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif move rebounces the opponent for /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d_.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif to connect.

For Leifei, I do /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f_.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif > /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f_.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif > knee > /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d_.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif for a 70 points combo OR /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif > /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif > 1fd/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif for a 71 points combo

The first /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif has to be perfect (input at the very moment when Akira is able to move after /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif) and is really hard.(found by TexasLion) Easier in ver C now!


B.[/size]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif(SDE) combos

On normal hit and ending in closed stance, I do /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif(AS3) on lightweights(Aoi both stance) and middleweights up to Lau. For Akira and Jacky I do /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/db.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif for both stance.

Against Jacky and ending in open stance after SDE, a 1 frame delay dbl palm will connect. There are several ways to get a 1 frame delay. From my knowledge, you can do /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif or /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/db.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/db.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif.

When SDE hits on MC, this is where Akira rules against 70% of other characters.

1fd = 1 frame delay


SDE on MC and ending in open stance, the best damage against everyone up to Akira is:

1./forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f_.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif > 2./forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif > 3./forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif 71~75 pts

For Blaze, Kage & Lion do 1fd at part 1. eg. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif. However, its really hard to land on lion for some reason.

For Jacky and Shun do 1fd at part 3. eg. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif. Blackbook: you can also end with /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif instead of /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif to reduce Shun's drink points by 1.

For Lau, first /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif has to be perfect and do not hold /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif. Do 1fd at part 3.(found by s_aki)

For Akira, first /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif has to be perfect and do not hold /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif.

For Lei, first /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif has to be perfect and end with /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif > dbl palm instead of /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif for a 77pts combo.

For Goh and lightweights do 1fd at part 2. eg. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif Eileen will also need another 1fd at part 3.

The 2nd best damage for lightweights in either stance is /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f_.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gifx3 > /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d_.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif for a 69 points combo. The timing is strict for the dbl palm to connect. Too late it will either miss or become a 64 points combo. Ending in open stance, you may wish to go for the easier /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f_.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gifx2 > DLC 68 points combo.

1 is for Lion, Blaze, Pai and Aoi.

2 is for Eileen, Sarah, Van and Lau in either stance, Lion and Leifei starting from close stance.

3 has to be done with no delay for characters that combos 1 & 2 dun connect. Any delay will drop the damage to 61~65 points. I was so used to delaying that I end up doing /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif(small pounce) half the time . Sadly non of the combos works on Wolf and the best combo I can find for him is delayed /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif > /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif which is less than 60 points.

Use 1 on Wolf as its the most damaging and works in both stance. Use 3 on Jeffrey in either stance. 3 Also works for Wolf. 1 works on Jeffrey but the damage is reduced to 58pts as he's heavier I guess. 2 works on both of them in either stance.

On Vanessa do:

/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif for a flashy and slightly more damaging combo! 55pts

The trick is in Part 2. where it will refloat for part 3. to connect. It works consistantly for Akira and Jacky but for the rest part 2. got to delay slightly to refloat . For lightweights except Sarah, part 2. will not refloat but part 3. still connect at the fastest input.

The combo works for /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif,/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif when Akira ends in open stance in the 2nd /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif.

1 is for Jeffrey and Wolf and has great okizemi after that.
2 works for everyone up to Lion and has better okizemi than 3.
3 works for everyone except Jeff who can just ukemi to avoid the last part of dragon lance. Use this when you think you can ring them out as it pushes the furthest.

Re: VF5 Akira's advance stuff and combos.

Very impressive info, thank you Danny.

 

Re: VF5 Akira's advance stuff and combos.

Does buffering Aki's DP from a BCD always cause a 1-frame delay? That's how I buffer my DP within all his combos and it always executes at the fastest time possible and without any delay at all(At least it looks that way to me).

Or does the delay only happen if you wait to enter 46P after entering 11?

And thanks for all the info Danny!

 

Re: VF5 Akira's advance stuff and combos.

Back crouch dashes for combos has always resulted in a 1 frame delay in VF4 days and I doubt that it has changed in 5.

The 1 frame delay has never been noticed as all combos will still connect whether you buffer 11 or 33. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

 

Re: VF5 Akira's advance stuff and combos.

So anytime you buffer a DP with 11 there's 1-frame delay?

Whether it's within a combo or not?

 

Re: VF5 Akira's advance stuff and combos.

Yes! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

Re: VF5 Akira's advance stuff and combos.

I have trouble with some of the AkiraTFT combos on PS3, Brad doesnt seem to bounce at all from /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif+ /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif, /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f_.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif, /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f_.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif, /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f_.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif, /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif, DbPm
Not even with just two punches. Is there some trick related to Brad? On the other characters I can get this combo to connect no problem, except Shun seems to require same /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f_.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif, /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f_.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif, /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif series as Vanessa.

Re: VF5 Akira's advance stuff and combos.

Let me check it out on Brad. I'm can't remember which /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif not to hold forward.

The heavy weight combo definately works for Jeffrey(ver b). Let me confirmed for Wolf. I'll amend the combo for Shun in my first post.

I have yet get a chance to play at Summah place to confirm more stuff.

 

Re: VF5 Akira's advance stuff and combos.

Yeah I got the heavyweight combo to work on Jeffry no problem, although it only did 61? Are you sure you didnt count the missed techinput extra damage or "training mode bug"?
Earlier I only tried wolf so thats the reason I couldnt get it to work. SO far I havent got it to connect on wolf.

Maybe as an alternate, /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif,/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif -> /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif -> DbPm does 61 on Jeffry and wolf both. Although obviously it has worse Oki that the SgPm-combo unless opponent doesnt tech.

edit: Jeez, training mode is at it again. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif,/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif -> /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif -> /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif -> DbPm is 62 with fastest timing and 55 with lazy timing?

81 on sarah, 88 on Lei-Fei.. >_> variable damage is so annoying.

I got this to work up to Jacky from QCB+P+K sabaki, maybe it depends on how much disadvantage Akira is in when using the sabaki? Against Jacky I set CPU to counterattack with mid and did SDE (blocked), /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/db.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif -> yoho -> /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif and it connected. I couldnt get it to connect from basic counterhit stun or after blocked DE against Jacky. There are so many quirks and details with combos in VF5 a lot of testing is needed.

Works on Sarah and Eileen in either stance, Vanessa on open stance.

87ish.

A higher damage combo against Eileen only in closed stance (at least I havent got it to connect otherwise) is
/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/db.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif - /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif - /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif
for 91 on counter.

 

Re: VF5 Akira's advance stuff and combos.

Thanks for testing them out thoroughly Manjimaru!

There are alot of other combos for Akira but they require really specific situations similiar to what you've highlighted, hence I only post the more reliable ones.

Is the damage for combo F.[/size] on Sarah and Lei-fei on Mc?
