Akihiko reminds me a lot of makoto in sf3. Just this like, clunky, slow ass tank when you pick them up at first, but once you understand them you notice that they're made to weave in an out of every situation at break-neck speeds. Seeing him play patiently at full screen and then immediately step on the gas as he gets an opening is so satisfying. I might actually try him once 2.0 releases

[@dasein7014]

Jean-Pierre as the Chad french equivalent is accurate... For a 80 yo that is

[@tbmssleepy3818]

Baptiste is the name that comes to me when I think french chad

[@Makingnewnamesisdumb]

France is not chad.

[@RIP_Sinners]

Akihiko is my favorite kind of FG character. He's got cool stuff like damage/antiair/mixups, but he's also got weaknesses like range and unsafe options. That creates an interesting gameplay that hooks me as soon as I sit down and play, not 20 hours later after I understand the character and all the matchups. Also, I appreciate the fact that he's dressed appropriately for a fighting tournament. Ironically, only because he's always dressed that way.

[@element9219]

Mid tier in P4A but he got his revenge in BBTAG lol, Aki was a MENACE in tag

I loved tag Too bad it suckw

the scrub slaughter!! My friend had just picked it up and didnt know the b combo wasnt true literally just let me chip him to death lmao

[@bnashtay2278]

His combos look cool tho so instant S tier for me

[@0ctopusComp1etely]

Back when my roommate and I played Arena constantly, he mained Akihiko exclusively. He's like, the most honest, straightforward character in the game... until he decides to not be. You go from half the match keeping him at range with big, long-range attacks and meaty normals to Akihiko dashing the entire screen to take out a quarter of your health bar in one punch and comboing from behind you somehow. His burst potential is explosive. ...Which is every character in Persona, to be fair, but it always surprised me coming from Akihiko.

[@yourbellboy]

5:44 "OH NO, I'm sorry Akhiko" are you? 😏

[@hmad898]

No, he's high tier you're just playing him wrong. First thing, protein. Second thing, protein. Third, fourth, and fifth more protein.

[@Swiftwind777]

I know he's a mid tier but damn Akihiko is literally my fav FG character ever.

[@TheDeadTexan]

I thought this was a weird decision for character design. Until Junpei came out in Ultimax lol.

[@shaunfrost720]

Haha you should see junpei's p4au concept art XD

[@Soriphen]

During this era of P4A the undisputed king of Akihiko was a player named Moke. Dude was as godlike as Mocchi and Haaken were with Sol in Xrd, but then disappeared once Ultimax came out. The players who were closest to his level imo during the Ultimax days were Jona and Musui, but man, I rly wish Moke stayed. I hope he returns for the re-release next month.

[@Soriphen]

@@donutsama285 Bruh im dumb LMAO. Thanks for pointing that out. And yeah I actually heard that Moke had a girlfriend and school shit to attend to, but that is prolly hearsay.

[@DragonflySwamp]

I never played much Persona so it's interesting to hear the thoughts of someone who took it seriously. There always seemed to be a bit too much filth in the game for my tastes, but I'd probably have a lot of fun with it if I gave it a chance these days. By the way, if you're looking for Twitch discussion fodder, you should try my video about Nage and Tomo at the Mikado Tenkaichi Budokai series. I may sound like I'm begging for views, but I'd be really interested to hear your thoughts on that one (and the production quality is a LOT higher than my Raven balance history video).

[@shizaa282]

What do you mean by filth?

[@DragonflySwamp]

@@shizaa282 Garbage. Trash. Sewage. Waste. Dirt. Degenerate stuff.

Just bought ultimax and was looking for a character to play. Saw this combo 5:13 and my mind was made

His jump loops were so much fun in Vanilla P4A

[@lintecassidy206]

I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

[@Cezkarma]

So LK didn't make a video on Ken?

[@absoul112]

It's weird seeing mid tier in the title when a lot of people were calling him low tier when this game first came out.

[@MeVsZolVlBiE]

I always thought trying to block akihiko when he had 25 bar was hell lol. Terrified to get duffed by sb hook. Terrified to get crossed up in like 18 frames. And of course when you start respecting the fact that you die when he duffs you with sb hook he kinda just gets to do whatever. Safe dp for 50... Gorillas in for 50... He dunks on a lot of characters across arcsys games for sure but p4a powerlevel is mad silly so he really is just high tier lol.

[@kekon3]

Who the fuck said p4a had no combos, hokuto no ken players??? like tf???

[@The_Meev]

The same people who bash literally every single new fighting game on release because they can't comprehend the fact that people still need to learn how to play the new game

[@MommysGoodPuppy]

mokes defense is real nice

We don't really an equivalent of chad in french now that you mention it.

LK, we are getting a version that has basically been unplayed anywhere but arcades, right? Are you able to speak to the differences between it and the version most of us have played?

[@lordknightfgc]

Yeah, basically the version we're getting hasn't been released outside of Japanese arcades. I only know a little bit about the patch, I'm doing research now.

I thought he was low tier honestly, but despite that I still mained him because he is a boxer and I like most boxer chars in games (dont like balrog)

[@AchedSphinx]

yosuke was top tier in p4a2 wasn't he? so maybe worth considering. also, akihiko had some of the hypest combos though. i never played him, just mitsuru. i kinda want to see a persona 5 arena to see how they evolve akihiko's playstyle. he'll probably be in a business suit or something throwing punches.
