discuss the character or something

New corner combo does about the same amount of damage as the old one, but it's generally easier to do than 2C 5C 5C 2C (2A) 2A 2C etc.  C is probably a little more worthwhile now that F isn't better in almost every way.  Higher average damage, midscreen mixup, C mechanics, okayish reversal option, steady health regen/enemy never has any red health if you use her command throw to any extent; if she had F's air normals, she'd be amazing.

2A, 2B, 6C, 4C, 2C, 5C x 5C, 2C, 2A(whiff), 5A and then 2C didn't come, what i do wrong?

[Sashi]

Are you sure the first 2A whiffs and the second one hits?

You need to pause between (2A) and 5A and let Akiha go back to neutral, otherwise the game says 5A 2C etc. is part of the same chain and you don't get another 2C since you already used one in the string.
