Art of A.K.I. - Street Fighter 6 Cinematic Guide

[@lazzygnome4060]

Can't call him a bandwagon rider, because this man has been building this cart board by board since day one!

[@Kinning62]

Everything Capcom has done right with AKI gives me hope for the future of SF. Yeah, it's always cool to see characters from the earlier games come back, but there's nothing more satisfying than an entirely new character that fits into the meta so well. It makes me happy to know they still have some creative juices left and aren't just banking on nostalgia to get people interested. Your video points out perfectly what makes AKI such a cool character

[@Vaaalix]

I'm a Jamie player since the start, but recently I picked up AKI a bit, she's so fun to play and have plenty of things to lab, she feels so good to play

[@tonisnooker]

I'm trying out SF6 properly because friends and I are committed this time beside KOF or Tekken. I'd used Rashid yet playing against A.K.I was definitely fun.

[@Caulin_]

Watching your gameplay while talking and i see the casual 36 win streak

[@qmanchu]

Bro when she got buffed I was EATING lol

[@VonsarYT]

Ngl I thought this was some sort of cinematic montage of aki not some guide so it took me 3 days to click on it from my feed. The word Cinematic overtook Guide for me lmao. Glad I did :) I'm close to master with Aki and I actually did learn new uses for things!

[@aledantih6524]

She's new but is already one of my favourite characters in the entire series. Amazing work from the team to make her what she is and I really hope she becomes a main stay in future games. AKI is cool!

[@hollowrenji7287]

I've been in the hub for some of your aki fights. Terrifying lol

[@qmanchu]

Still got a long ways to go with her lol. Thanks for the support!

[@azoltirain449]

Excellent video bro!! Straight to the point with practical uses

[@mustofaakmal7493]

Wow this is an interesting way to explain Aki. Loved this

[@soulwarrior5791]

Just when I decided to take a break from Tekken 8 and go back to SF6 to master A.K.I as my secondary character, this video came up. And all the season 2 changes are included too! Thank you!🐍

[@petalsxox]

same i got so burnt from t8. took a hugeeee break from sf6 and coming back with all these new characters is overwhelming but amazing. bison and aki r for sure gonna be my mains

[@Jackdaw-]

I love this video. The presentation is top notch and is actually informative and well-rounded.

[@qmanchu]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@strategist9]

A.K.I is super cool, way more interesting to me than F.A.N.G ever was. Really, I think SF6 has done a pretty good job with the newcomers. I'm a big fan of Marisa and would love to see a deep dive on her.

[@qmanchu]

Marisa is definitely on the list!

[@Reickou]

Amazing guide thanks alot

[@viceanterra3]

Picked up Aki recently after playing Manon since release and I'm hooked. Been looking for an updated guide for a while cause I'm more or less stuck in diamond 3 lol.

[@HaxHaunter]

*Isaw Smash would like to know your location* i'm so happy you chose this format though. It's just the perfect way to do a guide like this.

[@qmanchu]

When I first saw his art of videos for Ultimate,I was so impressed. Glad I could start to mess with the format. Excited to improve

[@branalysis]

Great video, I switched over to maining Aki in my last 40-50 hours of sf6 and I'm at platinum 4 now, I've watched a couple of guide videos and this is among the best for sure. I feel like the title is oddly confusing tho, specifically the "street fighter 6 cinematic" part, I feel like many people may be confused what the video is and think it's some type of montage rather than a character guide.

[@qmanchu]

Oh that's weird. It used to say cinematic guide but idk when that changed! Edit: just changed it back. Thanks for the heads up

[@gerardesc7221]

I´ve been maining AKI since she came out. This guide is pretty good, visually is beautiful. I was thinking that if you were going to make guides with this quality I would definitely pay for them.

[@qmanchu]

I've wanted to make a guide for a while but the issue with street fighter guides is that they're usually 25 minutes long at the short end haha. I didn't wanna do all that by explaining every little detail. I think a general idea with more niche examples can help people understand a character better from different perspectives. There will be more like this and I'm excited to do them!

[@SuperCrakker]

I am subscribing for more of this sort of content, only thing it needs might be some of the combos notated to really push it over the top.

[@qmanchu]

Yeah that's a great idea! I didn't do that because I was spending a lot of time learning the free cam and mod tools! I'll work on bettering the overall experience soon

[@fern8594]

Love this kind of vid man! Would love to see and art of Akuma in sf6

[@supjeremiah]

I never drop comments but gotta give a shout out for a really well done video. AKI is my main so I'm already taken care of but I hope you keep these up for the rest of the the street fighters!

[@qmanchu]

Appreciate the love! I'm stuck between Rashid and Aki as a main but I doubled down on her about a month ago for this video. The buffs helped inspire me too lol. New ones coming soon for sure

[@gameologian7365]

Nice work! Please do one for the art of dance, Manon!

[@hugoacevedo4812]

Yeah i loved the style !

[@greatrulo]

Thank you for dedicating such a thought out video to the underdog of this game, every time I face an Aki I cant help but smile, I love her art design, gameplay style and attitude.

[@adk5980]

absolutely LOVE this guide. well done man

[@seansagley6103]

Great vid, very informative and matter of fact. I liked the edits on the transitions

[@qmanchu]

Thanks! Trying a new kind of format for this stuff!

[@dddaaa6965]

Wow this is LITERALLY the best character showcase I’ve ever seen, not exaggerating or being friendly either because I always troll in comments, I love how interesting possibilities for setups are shown AND explained with examples with lots of real match footage instead of some guy sitting in training stage ripped right off their twitch stream.

[@qmanchu]

Thanks! I put a lot of heart and soul into this one and I'm glad you enjoyed! Edit: I also am not a fan of the "ripped from twitch strea?" Style video but I get why it's done

[@seba-nw3qz]

Im comming back to this game after like 8 months. Couldn't find updated aki guide and this is exactly what I needed. Thank you so much brother 🤝

[@starswordsman]

More Art of Vids please! I'd love for you to cover every character eventually. Love to see Chun-Li too.

[@qmanchu]

There definitely will be more! I'm glad you enjoyed. Chun would be further down the line cuz of how deep she is

[@zacharyy2k]

love the format of this guide

[@qmanchu]

Thanks friend! It was a bit rough around the edges but there's more coming!

[@lynxvex]

Loving the freeze frames and flythroughs while AKI is doing a move!!! Cant wait to see this on all the SF6 characters

[@Keeganners]

This is a great video. The editing is slick. Manon would be dope to see

[@ramosfx221]

Been waiting for Broskis guide but man this one is polished so well! Great presentation and overall guide. Subbed.

[@anosv9797]

This video was AWESOME! All the work you put into the editing and script truly shows! I would be hyped to see "the Art of Jamie" but honestly I would enjoy a video on any caracter

[@petalsxox]

this was an amazing video, u should do ed or m bison would be cool. bison especially cuz the bomb setups remind me of aki gameplay. a lot of stuff with him too

[@qmanchu]

Bison soon!

[@AeonX86]

New viewer here/ aki lover. Great breakdown of the character!🤟🙂

[@ainsel98]

great video, thanks for sharing!

[@lamMeTV]

Please make one for Elena when she comes out!

[@qmanchu]

I will certainly try to do one for all the upcoming DLC and even some base characters!

[@SaturnnsStash]

Incredible video!! So well done

[@NoRhythmTV]

Hi man, just wanna im big fan of you videos keep up the good work

[@qmanchu]

Much appreciated homie! I started a new job recently so the content is gonna be a bit slower but I really like this format and wanna do more with it!

[@michelpetrus]

Quality work !

[@Crimsontears83]

A.K.I. is cool

[@kimbohenry508]

Thanks for this, my homie plays AKI and been whooping my ass lately and I realized idk what this character does lol

[@AlanJonesu]

Excellent guide! I've wanted to make Manon work, but I got tired of not being able to play the game like everyone else. So I figured why not return to AKI, especially since she received buffs. Side note, what program do you use for the camera mod ?

[@qmanchu]

Lua Freecam mod. Got it from the modding haven discord. Once there it can be hard to find but it's usually at the top of the links available!

[@provja1]

Amazing video!

[@Lamentationsofapoory]

I think maybe somebody was inspired by IzAw 🤩

[@qmanchu]

Love that someone noticed this. Admired those videos for ages

[@tonisnooker]

By the just a feedback can you add notations too like you did in those KOFXV videos (One of the best tutorials legit very professional and authenticating). I can understand and will commit to learning yet someone who isn't used to fighting games would be perplexed or occupied into figuring out the notational names first instead of their notations to even begin learning.

[@khorne133]

There any way there could be a part 2 going over some routes and punishes? Lot of the vids I find are of the old version of her and while useful to an extent, it'd be nice to have a reference point of what is possible now with punishes and routings for different combos/punishes after her update.

[@qmanchu]

Pretty much everything in this video is post patch, featuring her new routes and properties. That said, broski is working on a vid that'll probably be like an hour long and surely will be a better resource than this

[@remystyle2813]

R.E.M.Y: interesting interesting Mistress is so so popular Needed more research heheeheh (Btw nice video ❤)

[@believein1]

Can you imagine an “evil” version of AKI 🤯

[@adk5980]

I picked up aki a few days ago. i absolutely love her- how ever i play modern. Whats your opinion on modern aki? Is she just straight up trash or viable? I lose standing light kick which is bad i guess.

[@qmanchu]

I actually know nothing aboht Modern Aki. Seems like there's too much to be lost so I didn't try it

[@adk5980]

I loved Aki before. I'm 'bout to marry her now. Move Cammy! 😂

@@qmanchu Sempai I love AKI, I just added you to the list of people I followed, I would love some advice on my combo game, as I would love to pulish it to get it as godlike as yours, which combo would recommend to practice? Any comments on how to level up my AKI. I can give you my ID, so you watch repetitions I don´t know, you are the first High level AKI that really answers back.

[@rockrobster27]

Manon please merci

[@ddorgo]

if they cooked this much with a DLC newcomer, i can't understand for the life of me why they thought adding guest characters was a good idea

[@valeoncat13]

It's pretty simple to grasp: its good for buisness. General fg fans like crossovers, it can create new SF fans, it helps advertise for the other company(who has a new game on the way), and they can use the money from all of this to fund future DLC.

[@regtech12]

JURI PLEASE

[@qmanchu]

I will try! I'm not that interested in her yet but hoping we see something interesting for her down the line
