How To Beat AKI in Street Fighter 6: Five Tips

[@Chris_F]

Like my last video, I had to record the audio on the road so please excuse the poor audio

[@dmoo8121]

Your work is always awesome Chris, or is it Bryan_f

[@franciscoc8228]

Your videos always help me see the game under a deeper lens. Nice as always

[@Chris_F]

Happy to help!

[@Alsatorec]

as an aki main i can certify this is all gonna be annoying when people start implementing it in ranked but also looking forward to finding new solutions. good video 🫡

[@Chris_F]

Thx!

[@W_smith1990]

[@FrameFGC]

Thank you brooooo. Amazing as always. THANK YOU.

[@Chris_F]

My pleasure!!

[@erikbofo2649]

Great vid! Hope you make this a series for all characters 👍.

[@Chris_F]

That's the plan!

[@jettmanas]

No prob on audio for me since I have sound off. 😉 Good info on meaty jab in the corner. Maybe I'd try LP, cLP for my main. Or cLP, cLP. Solid theory on jab, throw to beat the evasive move. Glad 5x in training for the kick followup works. I'll be busy w/stuff from other training vids when I can finally play. And hope to do vs. So move closer, then parry fireball. Or one of the two moves I have vs fireballs. Nice vid.

I really have to stop slacking labing the OS against the OD Snake Step. I wasn't totally aware of the Fireball approach. Thanks Chris !

[@Chris_F]

Glad to help!

[@pettyking9084]

I needed this!

[@Chris_F]

Thx!

[@Creidexe]

My guy, great content as always, been following some of the training drills and i can definitely feel myself improving. Can we get an anti guile guide? Dude has way too many advantages in sf6.

[@Chris_F]

Thx! Working on everyone as fast as I can

[@Un1234l]

Guile is mad annoying. The best tip is never play against Guiles ess than 4 or 5 bars green wired connection 😅. You absolutely NEED to be able to perfect parry this sonic booms. Another is stay outside or within his sweep range to threaten a jump over sonic boom or whiff punish, or perfect parry jump over, etc. All this is easier said than done. You want to bait his normals so you can whiff punish, or perfect parry jump his sonic booms, and to do that you play the poke game to bait out responses from Guile that you can react to... You basically set up situations where you get them to throw booms/normals/reversals when YOU are ready for them. Very much easier said than done though

[@wildwanderer2717]

Thanks Chris!

[@Chris_F]

And thank you for watching!

[@KiTTtheKiDD]

Whelp, there goes my defense. Good content as always.

[@Chris_F]

Learn the counters to the counter and you’ll be even stronger!

[@Brian-ib5wz]

Thanks, really helpful!

[@Chris_F]

You're welcome!

[@TOMLElog]

damn this is a very nice guide!

[@Chris_F]

Thank you!

[@ahmednasser8214]

Hi Chris, thank you so much for the video! My best friend and sparring partner plays A.K.I. so this will help me deal with his shenanigans! Can you please do one of these for Juri as well? I feel she is the hardest character for me to deal with consistently.

[@Chris_F]

Glad you liked it! I’m working on the whole cast

[@itsmesteve1081]

Great video. Last two tips still seem to be a bit iffy though even though they may be valid in some contexts. Aki can just counter DI after her third jab, she doesn't have to commit to the special move. And walking up to block her fireball is dangerous too because she can just pop it. She is such an annoying character to play against. Even when she is knocked down and in the corner you still have to implement all these weird ass OS to keep her there. But once she gets out, now you're in the corner and you're forced to take her fireball and mix ups. It's so stupid

[@marcelojavierzayassisa7389]

Chris, could you do an against akuma? I know you posted against his air fireball but the rest such as demon flip just kill me.

[@Chris_F]

Slowly working towards the whole cast

[@jahnbirriel4709]

[@OkairMcLaren]

They need to change her od snake step where she can only be grabbed before she crosses you up. Its so funny how she can slide and you just grab her even when she crosses up but other cross up moves don't suffer from this

[@remylebeau34]

Hey Chris, any chance you can help me? I had this idea for an os for a long time now but I can't seem to make it consistent. Basically it involves doing a light normal and buffering back back, so if Aki uses snake step the drive rush dash follows her. Can also use parry back back. I have found a bunch of option selects especially against Aki hopefully you can figure this out, thanks so much for your vids they always help me out :)

[@Chris_F]

I think it’s going to depend on the character since some drive rushes are faster than others. I didn’t have time to test this but I’ll let you know if I find something useful

[@remylebeau34]

@@Chris_F awesome man thank you so much! 👍

[@sloesty]

This will help you once every 50 games lmao.

[@ChaosJourney]

So AKI, Ed, and M Bison all have the same weakness of having a slow, f10 reversal thus and being susceptible to meaty jab setups; I can't efficiently lab this though, since I don't own any of these characters. Is there anyone on the base roster who also has this weakness that I could practice this counterplay on?

[@Chris_F]

Manon’s level 1 super! Also 10F

[@ChaosJourney]

@@Chris_Fhuge, I see manon way less than the other three. Thanks

[@Optii87]

Second part with her stance isn't really well explained. Like ok there is a timing but what is it? For me it either doesn't come out or I'm counter hit (when she goes for kicks).

[@Chris_F]

It’s a tricky timing, you definitely need to spend some time in training mode to really feel it out

[@RenanRF77]

Qualirty as always

[@Chris_F]

Tyty

[@evalangley3985]

Tip #1 - Use Bison... problem solved...

[@Baconsoap71]

Don’t do this
