Akutagawa \ あくたがわ (#1 Ranked Manon) high level gameplay ▰ Street Fighter 6 SF6

[@shmixedNshmooved]

This is the hardest working Manon player. I just looked on CFN and he hit top 1 again. With a character folks consider to be bottom 1. Akutagawa is goated

That thumbnail art looks familiar! 🤣

That's a based thumbnail.

1:10 I thought this was a Grap Counter where only Zangief could. So Amazaing Akutagawa

[@POWPLANET]

I thought Akuma missed the throw timing there?

[@kswdang]

@@POWPLANET Akuma didn't miss the throw timing. Rewatch the video at a rate of 0.25x. You'll see Manon jumping at one point. (1:10) That's a very high-level technique that demonstrates Command Grap after one or two frame jumps available with 632147 inputs. Zangief and Lily can do the same, of which Manon's Technique is the most difficult to use. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJO1cqh7ebVoa5Y If you look at this, you'll see it more clearly.

[@POWPLANET]

@@kswdang wow, indeed. Would u mind explaining how exactly does this work? I don't quite understand how could Manon jumped and also command grabbed Akuma.

[@kswdang]

@@POWPLANET Here's how this technique works. As you know for Zangief and Lily, you have to do →↘↓↙←↑ + P to use Comman Grap. At this point, if you input P while increasing the last ↑ part very slightly (about 1-2 frames), Zangief and Lily start the jump and then quit and use the Command Grap. Obviously, the character started jumping, but it's not completely in the air yet, so the jump decision is created in one or two frames and then transitioned to the Command Grap. So if you did it right, you could avoid your opponent's Normal Throw with the jump decision and hit the Command Grap. This is very difficult. If you press ↑ too long, your character will jump completely and float in the air. But if you press P too early after ↑, your character won't jump and will use Command Grap, which means you lose to Normal Throw. For Manon, unlike Zangief and Lily, it is particularly difficult because the Command Grap input is →↘↓↙← + P. As you can see, Manon's Command Grap does not have the ↑ command, so you have to enter a jump command that you don't need. Since Zangief and Lily have ↑ included in the use of Command Grap anyway, this technique can be used with the sense that the P button is pressed only slightly later after ↑ is entered, but Manon is completely different. Therefore, in order for Manon to use this technique, it is necessary to enter →↘↓↙←↖ + P intentionally, and not a single frame error is allowed. So that's why this is so great, he's used those dangerous techniques casually in the Legend Rank Match. P.S: I am using a translator because I am not good at English. I hope my words were conveyed well.

@@kswdang man, what a nice explaining! Thank you so much!!!

17:32 I HATEE WHEN THAT HAPPENS😭

[@obansari]

Amazing player but gets burnt out really easily. I dont know if they dont care OR they have a plan but Manon in burn out is really bad.

[@sliding_by8607]

yes bad but she can manipulate a situation in burn out because a lot of players go on the chase. i sneak in CGs now and then. Much harder now that they made the CG input more strict.
