Guys! Don't argue with him about her being weak. I love the character and she kicked Cammy from being my main so the more people who think she's weak the more buffs she'll get. The man has gotten 95% of the roster to Master so he knows what he's talking about. Buff A.K.I. Capcom!
I think it's really smart of the devs to wait for the games meta to mature before making any actual balance patches. The game is going to change so much on the first year. There's stuff we could think is broken now that does not matter in a years time.
I'm so glad to know that strong players are also struggling to get the hang of aki's neutral and defence, I've hit masters with Luke and JP without much struggle, but playing aki feels like a different kinda game with how hard it is to stuff out fake pressure and whiff punish, I thought it was just a skill issue and I sucked more than I thought lol
Yeah coz you played the top 3 characters I the game, when you're not playing something so cheap and overtuned with a tool kit of everything the game tends to become harder.. duh
idk why but the "oh." at 1:07:49 made me laugh. i think i'm just so used to hearing "THAT DIDNT WORK?!?!?!" from some streamers that a simple "darn" caught me off guard
I think my biggest problem with Jinrai is the situation after blocking it, where it feels like he's the one at the advantage, so even blocking is not the correct option tbh
@@cylondorado4582 totally unimpressed by the "this much neurotoxin can kill xxx people". I work in a neuroscience lab, technically we and every other lab have enough stuff in each freezer and fridge to take out the whole building and nobody is scared of us
The fact that Aki's only reversal is vulnerable to throws and Zangief is the purest grappler in this game makes getting him off of you miserable for sure
in a honest since giefs will be hounding for grabs compared to the 3 mentioned more often than the others just cause most giefs in the lower ranks dont play a good striking game and usually just want to command grab people into oblivion.@@weewer3369
I’ve never doubted my combo structure until Aki came out. Definitely a lot of expression and decisions required even after you land a hit. Very fun character
I don't know how to feel about this character. In the end, she seems serviceable, nothing exceptional about her ( Like, she doesn't do a single thing that feels very strong to the point you notice ), and the universal systems of SF6 kinda let everyone do decent things with drive extensions and stuff. But her normals and anti air, even her neutral control.. it's like.; Eh ?
I think it's so funny to say that not being able to escape Gief with her escape is a big weakness when like...Manon and Lily have no escape at all so not only do they not get to escape the Gief corner pressure but they can't escape ANYONES without a big read 💀
And? Other characters having worse wakeup options doesn't make Aki's reversal's weaknesses suddenly not matter. There's also a lot of characters who have better reversals than her too; a lot more than there are characters with worse ones.
So mixed on her. She's fun to lab, but not really to play, and imo the main reason is it's very hard to actually "teach" someone. Some characters can disrespect her anti-airs so much, and even empty jumps feel like they blow it up half the time lol. And like even if you anti-air it doesn't often lead to much. If they are very high up you can set up the puddle, otherwise like everyone in the game can punish it as it's around -10, or you blow a bubble and nothing really comes of it. Maybe if she had a good anti-air that could poison she'd feel rewarding to play. As is she's like a reverse honda, where I fight her like an ape, knowing her kind of big flaws, and I'll just jump at her 6 or 7 times in a round, because all it takes is one time for them to fail and she dies. Realistically every 3 or 4 anti-airs of hers just seems to fail. Her HK in particular is almost lariat tier. It'll win when it wants to, lose the other time, or worse whiff completely.
As someone who has only played her in casual mirrors and played against her a couple times in ranked, she feels pretty weak. Definitely not as good as Rashid on release. Hoping Ed is better
Her damage is insanely subpar compared to the rest of the cast, especially if they arent poisoned. Her anti airs are mediocre especially since she has nothing to hit them at the arc of their jump. Her zoning is ok but nothing to write home about especially when guile and JP exist. Her defense is nigh worthless in my opinion, her supers are incredibly slow and she can't escape throw loops at all. Her strength relies on always keeping your opponent on their toes but other characters do that with safety. I dont want to sound like im moaning but they were so adamant about not making FANG 2 but it just doesnt work especially when the poison fireball has to actually hit them compared to fang vskill which forced people into jumping which helped him out immensely.
I will say these road to Master videos are starting to get tiresome. Ever since Brian_f did it in sfv every sf content creator is doing it for every character. I've seen a general decline in the creativity of content since sf6's release.

Whoops! I dropped my monster combo, for my Magnum Opus
Always nice to see a Magnum get Opus-ed
This truly is a Magnum Opus moment

I've just received the notification for the new video and I hope to see more of Sajam's "I'm having fun doing her moves" noises
Safe to say, he says 'em
Weeeeeeeeeee
Ruh roh, Raggy. Her r-r-ragnum ropus!

SHADOW SLITHER AKI GANG, we LOVE casting smells
The way you're describing her is like how most would describe FANG.
acute kidney injury gaming
apeshit kills idiots gaming
This character is so cool man
how could 1 magnum opus beat 1000000 loyal fans
It’s like when she came out, and she was like, “This Tide Pod has enough poison to kill a thousand people”, or something like that.

Why is this notable compared to Manon/Lily/Kim?
@@weewer3369 Because I've played Aki... I haven't played any of these three, so I am talking from personal experience learning the character.

I've seen a character like her in a TV show recently. 😅
Her combos look cool as fuck

Master in just two videos with possibly the worst character in game *and* he never intentionally used her Lv. 2? Damn he's good.

I really wanna pick up Aki, but... man I already hate Gief so fucking much.
Maybe it'll be fine then since I already hate him anyway, actually.
I swear on everything I can fix her
Swear on your momma too?
Why would you want to though? Can't you just appreciate perfection?

She is top 1 character

She's the new bottom tier, armor beats everything she does
