Akihiko Sanada - General Discussion "I've been waiting for this!"

[Mayuuri]

If you went into say, a lvl 3 Weaving, and held it, do it's properties depreciate along with the Cyclone Gauge? I.E. when it drops to lvl 2 will the properties alter to that of a lvl 2 Weaving, or will it stay the same until you stop holding the button down?

It stays the same until you let go.You also gain meter while holding it down.

Awesome stuff

Really useful information.Thanks Dacid.
I also want to say that the insane landing recover of the mini hop can be special and super canceled.Works out well enough for Akihiko because of kill rush and weaving/ducking.

So,the start up of the auto-combo (as in the first dash punch) can be kara canceled into sweep,AoA,specials and what not.
Sadly,i can't get it to work with the second and third hit.
Someone should recheck this,though.

So, procrastinating on my Legal Memo.. and playing with Akihiko first (even though I wanted to main: Labrys.. this boxer is changing my mind). Anyways, idk if it's that important.. but for the sake of completion.. Challenge 30.. (in spoilers so if someone wants to try and figure it out themselves)

Spoiler!

...where you DP xx Maziodyne twice. The second Maziodyne.. if your gauge isn't at Lvl.2, it won't hit.. they just pop out. Therefore, on the second one, you have to Weave xx Duck xx DP xx Maziodyne to get the Levels up again. So DP must get additional hitstun at Level 2, right? idk haha, I'm bad at this analysis stuff
