I'm living for Broski and these AKI changes. His AKI was already super fun to watch and obviously super strong and impressive, but I'm really excited to see more now that AKI has all these new routes and just generally much stronger.
This is such a great video, as your extensive knowledge o A.K.I allows you to quickly put every change into context. Reading a change on the paper is quite different from understanding its practical implications, so such a video is extremely useful to people who aren't as familiar with the character.
the universal change to back throw into the corner feels like a buff for Jamie, as back throw in neutral already guaranteed a drink but into the corner could leave you too close. now that it forces the distance, Jamie can be disrespectful in more places. love to see it.
Such tiny details being changed having cascading effects such as the light kick to medium whip convinces me that there's no chance in hell i'd be able to balance a fighting game
It’s amazing what they did with AKI, it’s just a bit sad that some other characters that needed buffs a lot more than her didn’t get half as much if anything meaningful at all. Thinking of Lily for example. I don’t play her but at this point I’m literally wondering why she’s even in the game lol
My suspicion is that AKI merely got reverted to their alpha build for her character hence such a long list of buffs while others were already done and Capcom struggled to come up with anything.
I play AKI and I’m pretty good with her, Thanks to you and Hikaru. But I gotta say dude wtf?! Diving through fireballs fullscreen is going to be insane. I’m gonna go ahead and guess she’s A tier now. Is it a bit too much…probably, but we struggled. We deserve it, at least for a couple months.
I'm glad Broski has been blowing up and the commitment to this character has gone crazy. Much love Been thinking of getting into A.K.I more myself now that I've toned down on playing Tekken 8 loool
I think part of this is a compensatory buff. Thanks to the way that they changed parry and perfect parry it's going to be slightly harder to force a burnout situation on your opponent, which is a nerf to Aki more than most other characters.
You can stand point blank to Dj, Blanka, and Chun and bait their reversal with st hk xx lk slide. The coward crouch kick buff makes it so you can go for it even after 3 jabs (ex whip, cr lp x3 xx hp whip, dr st mp xx coward crouch kick would miss before)
My salt is that not everyone got the same level of "anti-X" buff treatment AKI got. Gief still just sucks at anti airing. Marisa 2HP anti air is less negative on block because we all know that anti airs are for blockstrings /s Manon anti projectile is still dubious at best. At least Cammy knuckle got ruined, but even then I wish they just made it negative instead of less anti projectile.
@@puchimausulariat hitting behind is the most broken thing that can happen. they should never do that. i love gief but that is not something any character should have
19:35 I know this is like a month old, but just in case you weren't aware, AKI 236HP isn't actually air invuln on frame 4. They just shrunk the head hurtbox 2 frames earlier
I feel like this patch is a good example of capcom listening to Japan as I feel like that’s where the most Aki down players were so they gave her THE JUICE
@@ΚρανίΩTo do? Sure. To use? No, it sucks, it loses to many air attacks. Has almost no vertical hitbox to hit high up or stop cross-ups, less horizontal range than many DPs, isn't invincible on EX so doesn't double as a wake-up reversal, and doesn't even have full body air invincibility. TL;DR: No.
If these changes stand Broski is just gonna slide in to Capcom Cup and win the milly and I'll pop the fuck off. It was awesome to see a pretty unknown Juri win it and just say he knew he'd win the first time, but dude lingering in the shadows with AKI and getting the bag would be perfect
I can’t remember if it was Broski or someone else who said it seemed like AKI was really strong in internal testing so they toned her down a lot before releasing her… looks like pre-nerf AKI came to season 2 lol
I watched the stream, and a couple things regarding kimberly is that she can still get j-MP after 6HK even with the juggle changes, you just need to do Drive Rush 6HK after you HP combo into her Izuna Drop. With that, you can get full-screen corner carry. Also, L. Vagabond is -3 on block if spaced now, so it actually can be +1 in Burnout.
on the drive rush cMK on block its probably worth to mention that if you go straight into HK and the opponent choose to press a 4 frame for whatever reason, you have a trade combo with another HK (or cMP depending on the distance)
These are great buffs! I mainly didnt pick her up in s1 because of her anti airs being sub par but im looking forward to trying her out this season! Gonna be stealing all the aki tech😈
Same, I ended up going to Dhalsim because I like oddball characters. But my boy hardly got anything this patch beyond the universal recovery drive reversal and some minor quality of life stuff. The former is pretty big for him of course, but the patch still feels underwhelming for Sim.
I'm half way through this vid and paused to see if anyone mentioned the internal testing vid that came out not long after A.K.I.'s release. It was shown she was much stronger before her release and as you're going through her changes these all feel like a list of nerfs they made to her before her release that they're now rolling back.
Appreciate the detailed guide, very thorough and well explained. I know you don't play JP anymore, but if you could do a similar video for him, I would be happy to watch.
I gotta wonder if the excessoveness of these buffs os something to do with the JP player ase perception of her of its notably worse, obviously english regions didnt think aki was great, but there was Daigo calling her bottom 1 which probably had greater influence in japan in how badly they saw her.
i think this does well to lean into her two-touch assassin kinda archetype, before she leaned too much on her poison to be an okay character. this does really well to round her out. the anti-airs too. those are just nice c:
Took a long break after getting Aki to plat few months ago but I’m so back baby. It’s a bit personal for me cause I always wanted to pick bottom tier character in a FG and rank it decently enough (I know platinum is nothing but for a scrub like me it’s honest work 😅) This is the video I was waiting for, thanks Broski! On to Diamond+ we go
As a Jamie main, I've been eyeing AKI for some time now. Glad to see the low tiers got some much-needed improvement (except Lily lol). Definitely gonna try AKI out now
I'm relatively new to playing fighting games and this is the first time I've experienced my main getting this level of buffs; I just gotta say, I take back everything bad I've ever said about "patch culture" lmao
HunDun 混沌; pinyin: Hùndùn is a Chinese mythological creature that represents chaos. If youre curious how its pronounced, it would sound like "Hwin Dwin" with win being pronounced like Schwinn
1:54 oh? Well first time i’m seeing it in action. The costume helps the feeling it’s almost a different character lol 3:25 yeah i thought that too. Pretty damn good light 4:29 and now she can get it into medium whip or light fireball for damage 4:56 yeeeah. Crazy 6:13 dang 6:27 even that yeah. Man
You know, I only ever pick characters I like playing in fighting games. But I also had a gift of picking the most obnoxious high tier ones unintentionally. M Bison, Hakumen, Miyako Arima, Tianhuo, Nagoriyuki and so on... Aki was prob the first real lower tier character I picked and decided to truly stick with. And now there's a good chance she'll be an obnoxious high tier, lmao.
Greta Video. After watching ive finally broken the 4 star plat I was stuck on. (Im 59, gimme a break, I'll never be master but maybe diamond?) In any case, how much fun you Aki players having serpent lunging into Akuma's heels when he tries that air fireball?
Obviously everyone is trying out Akuma now but hopefully we'll see more Aki in actual tournaments, alongside Jamie, Zangief, Manon and perhaps Kimberly

Just wanna say: watched the stream and seeing you go through the changes for Manon was really helpful. Thank you!
Switch to Aki lil bro. She is the new bitcoin in 2010.
We've gone from "AKI is cool" to "AKI is fucking awesome." Looking forward to the upcoming videos!
Condensed to 30min damn
I'm looking forward to seeing how the rest of the patch notes get condensed into one video, if that's even possible 😂

I used to pray for times like this
Go get that million broski
Akuma's extremely wide back will shield Aki from being accused as a top tier.
Such tiny details being changed having cascading effects such as the light kick to medium whip convinces me that there's no chance in hell i'd be able to balance a fighting game
The amount of buffs they stacked onto one character is insane, good god.

I was longing for this video.
She’s so good right now, upped over 200 MR in one day after patch with her. Don’t know how much is just placebo though
I don't think I've ever seen her stand light kick before wtf
cuz it sucked
AKI just got cooler
You can stand point blank to Dj, Blanka, and Chun and bait their reversal with st hk xx lk slide.
The coward crouch kick buff makes it so you can go for it even after 3 jabs (ex whip, cr lp x3 xx hp whip, dr st mp xx coward crouch kick would miss before)
can u post a video or a short on your channel? Im not really understanding
@@DemonSesshyy sure, I'll see if I can do it tomorrow
dj got GUTTED. W tho i hate blanka
I’m scared of aki being a meta hated character but I think some of these buffs are well deserved. Fingers crossed my main gets nice’d like this.
right? I've been maining her for months. I hope she doesn't become a new Luke or Ken where all people do is complain
My salt is that not everyone got the same level of "anti-X" buff treatment AKI got.

been looking forward to this video, cant wait to see what you can do with this
I played AKI when she came out, but I just cant play characters without solid antiairs. This changes everything!
If these changes stand Broski is just gonna slide in to Capcom Cup and win the milly and I'll pop the fuck off.
It was awesome to see a pretty unknown Juri win it and just say he knew he'd win the first time, but dude lingering in the shadows with AKI and getting the bag would be perfect
Bro they cooked with Aki. I wish Manon got treated this well. Broski will be unstoppable.
I can’t remember if it was Broski or someone else who said it seemed like AKI was really strong in internal testing so they toned her down a lot before releasing her… looks like pre-nerf AKI came to season 2 lol
As an AKI main, all I can say is: Hell yeah brother
AKI got breakfast lunch and dinner paid for with this patch. this era of Capcom is so good
Man, I'm so jealous of the buffs she got.
This is gonna be the Season for Broski, Tokido, Snake Eyez and AngryBird 😂
I think Jamie and Manon deserve their own vids, too. I'd like to re-experience the collective ignorance we showed for those characters lmao.
I watched the stream, and a couple things regarding kimberly is that she can still get j-MP after 6HK even with the juggle changes, you just need to do Drive Rush 6HK after you HP combo into her Izuna Drop. With that, you can get full-screen corner carry.

Can’t wait to see your new combo guide post patch ❤
New AKI outfit looks SO SICK!!! I love it
"I will not do combos for 2 hours" he lied.
damn...good job "EDITOR" 2hour stream into 30min digest Pog GODDID
So Broski, now that AKI is top 1, have you decided yet what you will spend your MILLION DOLLARS Capcom Cup winnings on? 🤔
on the drive rush cMK on block its probably worth to mention that if you go straight into HK and the opponent choose to press a 4 frame for whatever reason, you have a trade combo with another HK (or cMP depending on the distance)
Bruv, thanks for this. I don't know if it's possible to generate chapters for this video to go into each change, but I'll bookmark this vid
thanks so much man i was waiting for this! ALso consider making a combo video for all the new combo structures!
I feel like I just got off of a rollercoaster at Six Flags: Great Adventure... "Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"!
Good video bro. As a fellow Aki main this is great
In a single patch AKI has turned into a character that, unless they completely kill her, nerfing doesn’t matter anymore. Giving me Nagoriyuki energy.
Haven't even turned on the game, was waiting for this video to drop.
Definitely picking her up this patch. I was interested last patch but Ed was my main focus. Looking forward to the guide!
aesthetically, the back throw looks weird
agreed.
wavedash
Reminds me of Cammy and Karin's forward throw in SFV. Because of nerfs to throw loops, they kind of awkwardly slided backwards.
These are great buffs! I mainly didnt pick her up in s1 because of her anti airs being sub par but im looking forward to trying her out this season! Gonna be stealing all the aki tech😈
Same, I ended up going to Dhalsim because I like oddball characters. But my boy hardly got anything this patch beyond the universal recovery drive reversal and some minor quality of life stuff. The former is pretty big for him of course, but the patch still feels underwhelming for Sim.

Aki is cool
this might be the most i've ever seen a character buffed in a game. siiiick
Just wanted to add, PC light whip does actually lead to drive rush LK but you need to be pretty close, but it works
Capcom was like AKI was always supposed to be top tier. Sorry Broski.
Appreciate the detailed guide, very thorough and well explained. I know you don't play JP anymore, but if you could do a similar video for him, I would be happy to watch.
The new outfit is so good omg, she rlly do be slaying her foes and her fashion
I gotta wonder if the excessoveness of these buffs os something to do with the JP player ase perception of her of its notably worse, obviously english regions didnt think aki was great, but there was Daigo calling her bottom 1 which probably had greater influence in japan in how badly they saw her.

I wonder if the Standing Medium Punch change is to make it easier to check drive rush or something without trading.
HOLY CRAP. THE DIVE CHANGE.
This is what we've all been waiting for
i checked your channel and this wasn't up so i went through the vod, then when i was done this showed up on my youtube homepage 😭
14:05 Obligatory that's what she said
Took a long break after getting Aki to plat few months ago but I’m so back baby. It’s a bit personal for me cause I always wanted to pick bottom tier character in a FG and rank it decently enough (I know platinum is nothing but for a scrub like me it’s honest work 😅)

Yes, my broski yes

For the life of me I cannot get stand lk to combo into medium whip. Is it just a massively tight window for comboing?
Much deserved buffs!
We're eating good my friends!

When he went through this on stream it took like 1 1/2 to 2hrs
I love seeing a lowish character played by a passionate fan get huge buffs. So gratifying to see the weights get taken off.
As much as I love the buffs for Aki, that projectile invincibility is degenerate. "Cool Ysaar bro. Watch this."
I love these changes but im dropping the combos so much more trying to link and work the light kicks into these combos 😞
They really just gave her sunglasses and made her the cooler Aki.
27:35
HELL NO! What the hell are you talking about.
Rashid still being my main but i really want try AKI now, this character seems to be crazy fun and competitively viable.
God that new costume is incredible
Wow it's close for most buffed between AKI, Ryu, and Gief. They all got crazy buffs. So between you and Endingwalker, the Capcom Cup is coming home.
crouching mk being +1 the hugest one imo.
Went through it yesterday and it’s crazy
1:54 oh?
Well first time i’m seeing it in action. The costume helps the feeling it’s almost a different character lol
3:25 yeah i thought that too. Pretty damn good light
4:29 and now she can get it into medium whip or light fireball for damage
4:56 yeeeah.
Crazy
6:13 dang
6:27 even that yeah.

AKI got bloody reborn woah
Complete projectile invincible is absurd. I don’t know if I should pick up aki again or continue with Ed
watched it live but commenting for engagement
Do an early season matchup chart so that at the end of the season you can go back and see how right/wrong you were
AKI gang we up
With all these great changes with AKI, have you managed to devise a side switch move sequence?
I don't play Aki but I fucking love playing against Aki, this is such good news.
please make combo flowchart video especially with new LK buffs
Greta Video. After watching ive finally broken the 4 star plat I was stuck on. (Im 59, gimme a break, I'll never be master but maybe diamond?) In any case, how much fun you Aki players having serpent lunging into Akuma's heels when he tries that air fireball?
Capcom really wants Broski to win, huh?
Broski guarenteed top 6 at EVO now
Shout outs to Chris Hu
Obviously everyone is trying out Akuma now but hopefully we'll see more Aki in actual tournaments, alongside Jamie, Zangief, Manon and perhaps Kimberly
28:46 uhhh. twitch names are fuckin wild lmao
Do you think that she will now be a viable option for competition?
that new costume is lit
What the fuck?? Did Aki just dive through rashid's level 2 desert storm? With full body invincibility?
Perfect timing I just played her yesterday 😂. Her anti-air were worse than now ieeeee. Let's get more buffs, so she A tire.😅
