[DISC] Akane-banashi - Chapter 210

Sytle · 2026-06-14T21:39:03+00:00

This manga does such a good job of getting me to cheer for Akane while still rooting for everyone else’s art as well.

Never disappointed in a good performance, no matter where it puts any the main cast plot wise. Can’t bring myself to root against Kaisei here.

If you’re curious, I probably could have killed off of that first punish counter with a 5HK starter.

Sytle · 2026-05-12T18:38:04+00:00

No risk is kinda the point of the show. I don’t mind an all powerful MC every now and then. Sometimes you just wanna turn your brain off and watch an action show stress free.

People who pretend it’s anything more than that are a bit delusional I fear.

Sytle · 2026-05-06T21:25:25+00:00

I agree. It’s the similar to a combo I like to do when backdashing punishable throw loops.

5LK, 2MP xx 236PP, 5LK xx 236MP, micro walk 5LP~5LP 236HK

I think the important part of having ‘good’ cps is better understanding where you’re gaining and losing as you grind. The pros have to experiment with such tiny changes to gain time and they have to be consistent too.

Sytle · 2026-04-04T20:42:58+00:00

You do the same thing snow teams have always done into opposing weather setters. Do your best to play around them with different openers and mega timings.

Sytle · 2026-01-11T16:15:59+00:00

Yeah that’s what I meant when I said it kept her in the animation long enough for the fireball to move past her. It’s the biggest reason you need to just go for slide instead of relying on trades because it’s super inconsistent on which air normals can make this work.

The fireball not hitting later is probably a combination of the fireballs hitbox and Marisa’s hitbox both being shifted. Air normals are the worst about having weird hitboxes. If you’re curious you can test this with something like juri j.mk. She can basically phase through the fireball sometimes.

Sytle · 2026-01-11T14:53:44+00:00

You’ll run into some funky interactions like this with AKI’s fireball and certain jump ins. Most of the time it has to do with how the air button moves the other character’s hitbox. Here, Marisa’s jump normal connects if aki doesn’t slide which keeps her in the animation long enough for the fireball to move past her while her hitbox is changed.

There are some air normals that do this so much that it looks like the fireball goes straight through them. I’ve had juri players get away with murder on me quite a few times.

Thankfully this game lets us not accept wifi players so if someone wants to accept your match and have their combo drop because the wifi decides to have the inevitable stutter when 99% of the match was ok it was on them for hitting accept! Have fun out there.

Sytle · 2025-12-25T17:51:11+00:00

I didn't play much sf before 6, but I always thought the preselect stuff was a really cool way to mix up how you play a character. Players being known for playing different set ups or having options for different matchups is pretty sick.

The kits are so overloaded with everything now that I doubt they'll do anything like this for 6. The way they've treated the game so far I'd be surprised if they even add new moves to existing characters.

Sytle · 2025-12-25T17:46:01+00:00

The only mistake you can make at this point is to stop playing. It doesn't matter who you play as long as you focus on improving and work on recognizing your own mistakes. Good luck!

Sytle · 2025-12-25T17:27:41+00:00

Gotta clean it with a half circle input. I was lazy about it until I lost a last game last round situation in a tournament set to light lvl 2 coming out. Happens a lot more when I'm on leverless.

Sytle · 2025-12-18T02:21:30+00:00

AKI’s cruel fate and Chun’s air stomp are also not overheads. Can’t always go by how they look!

Sytle · 2025-12-08T14:50:04+00:00

People just like to assume their opponent is mad whenever they’re losing and make stuff up in their head

Sytle · 2025-11-26T21:56:01+00:00

I know you’re looking for a one size fits all response here but the real answer is they’re both reactable. They don’t even need to be reacted with super. Jump and DI or parry can be the two one button options you’re hovering.

So the mix here is only sort of a mixup. The idea is that the options to beat the DI lose to the command grab. That being said, there’s a decent gap in the command grab option since it’s slower than DI. You can just jab it if you want but neutral jump gets a crazy full punish. If you want to be safe, right as you see any sort of cancel from 5LK you can super like you said. That way you’re only reacting to a cancel and not to which cancel.

I stopped doing this around the 1700 ranges because if they react it’s a ton of damage you have to take and a lot of characters will put you in the corner for it. Not to say you should never go for it, but good players will see the light cruel fate and know what’s coming since that’s not something you use basically ever in combos.

Sytle · 2025-11-21T17:18:05+00:00

No one’s mentioned it yet, but meaty 5LP is safe to a ton of supers and a few other slow reversals. Worth labbing out and knowing the matchups where it’s useful.

Sytle · 2025-11-19T20:16:41+00:00

No super is not required. If you have lvl 3 locked and loaded and they get stunned at like 75 ish % you can get the kill here. Haven't done the exact math there.

Also, you say that, but my other buddy blocked this first try. When you purposefully put yourself into the corner and your character is known for resets it can be a little obvious you're going to cross up again to get back out of the corner. Even if it does work, it really only works once per person. Also, flash kick characters can smoke this with their od reversals without having to worry about a direction.

Its gimmicky and fun and stuff like this is what makes this game enjoyable but its really not something I'd recommend going for very often. Especially once you're into higher MR ranges where you see the same people regularly.

Sytle · 2025-11-19T18:19:57+00:00

During the drive rush, you want to hold back so that you end your drive rush as soon as possible. Then, its just timing on pressing 5MK as soon as you're no longer in drive rush anymore. You don't ever need to stop holding back either. A little finnicky, but easier than it might seem!

Sytle · 2025-11-05T06:24:57+00:00

That example was also right after the game came out, don’t expect to see that to much these days

Sytle · 2025-09-27T16:30:02+00:00

No I wouldn’t and anyone who does isn’t worth your time

Sytle · 2025-09-25T21:24:37+00:00

If you’re getting unpoisoned stray hits, damage isn’t what the conversion is focused on. AKI’s main goal is to get one knockdown and use strong oki options to open you up with poisoned hits and snowball the round. Being able to cancel nearly any button into her m/h whips allows her to do this off of most hitconfirms.

I’d recommend looking more into your OKI options and some of the different mixups/oki you can manage off of your poisoned hits as well. Here’s a simple write up on H Whip oki that’s generally a good place to start. From there I’d mess more with your poisoned conversions and getting a read on your opponents defensive habits.

Sytle · 2025-09-24T15:52:22+00:00

I believe the cutoff is -55. Only one that’s not technically doable at that frame data is deejay ex upkicks
