Virtua Fighter 2 Arcade (Hardest Difficulty) Akira Playthrough

Ah...Akira, one of the coolest fighting game protagonists of all time, he's pure, unadulterated, badass.

ORA ORA ORA!!!!!!!!!! 🥋

[@patrickholt8782]

Akira punches like a freight train with a rocket strapped to it.

[@blackwind677]

Mad respect to you. I can't even make it past Pai without getting a game over once on normal

[@tootriggered802]

That's cause the cpu reacts to the button inputs instead of the character animations. So it knows what your character is going to do before they can get the move out.

[@rassplinterspine1883]

Doesn't look like this is the hardest difficulty at all. I don't remember them this WEAK. He doesn't even show configuring it on the settings as well. On harder difficulty they're much more aggressive. Lau/Pai would barrage you with sweep finishers. Kagemaru would be tossing you like a volleyball and catching you with sliding flip kick when you hit the ground. And hoo boi god have mercy on you when you reach Akira. These here barely react. I'd have believed it was the hardest difficulty if he chose expert mode

Looks like you're quite good as Akira. He's the hardest character even for a protagonist.

Akira got some fighting skills

[@elusivecure57]

@@tyreepowell8367 He definitely has. Mastering anyone in this game also involved timing and anticipation. Unlike street fighter which was basic to special moves and combos.

Love it. VF2 Akira-guy myself. Playing against friends or friends of back in the day.... You'd just let them assume you're only a drunk monk or praying mantis the first time then you go full Akira on them.

[@khasnurihusain5607]

it's the stomach.the stun palm and backward uppercut in this case was executed with the enemy infront but best use surprised exchange,then backward uppercut

[@donaldson9410]

4:22 Just look at how much health Akira lost!! 😮

[@LordRaptor]

That throw leads to a guaranteed victory btw, it has no start-up animation and you can't tech it, the only reason I didn't lose that round was because the A.I decided to not attack for some reason, sometimes the A.I does attack with a pounce (Up+Punch) which kills after the throw.

Good old Crucifix Piledriver

[@donaldson9410]

@@segalliongaming8925 So, that was what Jeffry did to Akira?

[@segalliongaming8925]

@@donaldson9410 Yep. This move is to Jeffry what the Spinning Piledriver is to Zangief from Street Fighter. It is undoubtedly Jeffry's most devastating throw, and when combo'd in from a Toe Kick (a.k.a. Toe Kick of Doom), it is absurdly easy to perform.

[@Fallconn2]

how does damage scale in this game, why did 0:12 do so much damage?

[@LukeyMia4]

Oh I think it's because it's a counter attack. The input took me awhile to time perfectly too

[@blackwind677]

Counter hit. They do crazy damage in VF1 and 2. It helps that Akira's tetsuzanko is one of his more powerful moves naturally

[@albanmahoudeau1779]

[@nikoforu]

[@darwindumanacal2945]

In this year on August Akira Yuki at age 55

[@aa-ze5cz]

Akira was really hard to learn in terms of picking up all the counters, but in my teen years I got him down.... used to switch between him and Kage and dominate everyone at the arcade lol.... Akira was insanely powerful if you knew what you were doing, but it had a reasonable chance to backfire if your timing was off... I've since forgotten all the moves and how to play this game effectively, lol... I could probably make do with Kage after a few hours.

[@ihsahnakerfeldt9280]

It took me ages to learn how to do his awesome counters. Probably ended up finding out by chance. Definitely an advanced character.

[@bilbobaggins5421]

Why do the moves sound like shotgun blasts lol? Mine sounds nothing like this

[@rodrigoshimonishi]

What is the command to escape throw please? I do not remember because it’s been a while since I played this a lot in saturn days! Yes on the beggining I thought it was TAS but after some rounds you got hit by CPU and I understood it was a honest gameplay!! Hahaha

[@LordRaptor]

You can only escape the regular throws in this game (by pressing Punch+Guard), all of the command throws are inescapable.

[@rodrigoshimonishi]

@@LordRaptor thanks man!

[@SaminPK]

I see you tried to do the Stun Palm of Doom once executing the first of three moves but then realised it wasn't worth the trial and error 😁

Is this the arcade version?

[@LordYggdrasill]

How do you do that grapple where you push the opponent behind you? Like at 4:39 for instance.

[@LordRaptor]

Guard+Punch+Back+Down

[@LordYggdrasill]

@@LordRaptor thanks, I'll give it a shot.

[@LordYggdrasill]

@@LordRaptor it worked at first when I did it it against the first guy, but I can't get it to work against Pai. I'm playing this on an arcade in the game "Judgment." I got stuck on Kage and then gave up. Now I'm trying it again. I need to beat all the stages, but hopefully I can retry on Dural if I lose. I know that's not the case with VF5.

[@LordRaptor]

@@LordYggdrasill As you can see, this throw is very effective because it gives you a free follow-up and in VF2, the only breakable throws are the generic P&G throws, so you can trick the cheap A.I by running back and forth and then immediately throwing them. oh and btw, you can never continue on Dural, it's a bonus stage so you can only fight her once, it's been that way from VF1 to Ultimate Showdown.

[@LordYggdrasill]

@@LordRaptor I made it back to Kage again, but I can't seem to do that reversal move on anyone. It's like they either dodge the move, or I'm not inputting the command correctly. I think this arcade defaults to the hardest difficulty, but you don't seem to have any problems executing that move. Not sure what's going on.

[@gphsog763]

BAEK HO SSANG JANG TA!!

[@bohdanherasymenko7569]

Would never consider VF AI fun to play against: CPU reads inputs, reacts to fastest moves, switches attack directions and uses every available move with deadly precision, yet here you are, beating it in a few minutes!
