Changes:

Crescent:
JC - Ground Untechable, No cancels from air hit
AD - Untechable time increased
AAD - Untechable time increased


Full Moon:
JB - Duration decreased
AD - Untechable time increased
AAD - Untechable time increased


Half Moon:
J236B - Start up faster
5A6A - Prorate stronger (Universal half moon nerf)


So Crescent is finally an relevant option now. Half moon is still the same. I doubt the decreased duration of jB will hurt Full moon's game either. I consider all 3 moons playable, with quite different play styles.

Oh man, the Korean player is really rocking Crescent's mixups, it reminds me of Sato in the MBAC days. Crescent's ribbons are a reason to choose her against characters with better zoning, as Lucifer did.

I haven't gotten around to those yet but I need to. Whenever I see a nicovideo link I have a 4 step process.

1. Sigh heavily.
2. Cringe at the thought of taking any sort of measure to go about loading the video.
3. Wish it was on youtube.
4. Watch it anyway.

I'm in phase 2 atm, I'll get there sooner or later.

J.B getting nerfed :(

C being a real character :D

I heard pit was slightly buffed too, don't quote me on it though.
: Re: MBAACC V-Akiha
: sevalle August 12, 2010, 11:08:41 PM
things i want to know:

-j.B nerf is only for FM-vakiha right? i'd be really sad if CM & HM j.B were nerfed D:
also glad to know that 5a6aa dmg nerf is across the board and not just vakiha

-there was talk before about 623b and 6C getting proration (i.e. combo dmg nerf) as well. is that true? and also HM ground 236 series didn't get buffed? o.O


edit after watching above vids:
-it seems that the increased proration from 5a6aa is really significant, HM-vakiha's fullscreen momiji loop starting from 2a can't even break 4k now :(

-vakiha's distance from opponent after airthrow has been increased (and possibly slightly decreased recovery as well). its possible to do BE214B after airthrow now without getting punished by dps (see http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm11727425 0:41).

-also http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm11727425 -> seems like lack of anti-a armor is bad, at 7:11 FM-shiki apparently managed to get a double counterhit with 5a against HM-vakiha's j.c

-HM-vakiha's j.236b seems to keep her aerial momentum ala CM-vakiha's j.236a. basically they just replaced the flame-tongue with a flame-orb :D

6C damage nerf was Arcade > Original balance.

I thought C had something shitty with B momiji (in arcade and original) but I don't know offhand.

Yeah, I beleive it's just F. H & C's jB is hardly nerf worthy.

6C damage nerf was Arcade > Original balance.

I thought C had something shitty with B momiji (in arcade and original) but I don't know offhand.

According to framedisplay, in MBAA the B Momiji is the same for H and C. There also is no difference in 6C's between moons and versions. The difference is in B Momiji for H & C (nerf) :

arcade MBAA
hit 1: 400 dmg (100 red) 100 proration
hit 2: 400 dmg (100 red) 100 proration
hit 3: 600 dmg (300 red) 100 proration
hit 4: 600 dmg (380 red) 100 proration

console MBAA
hit 1: 400 dmg (100 red) 100 proration
hit 2: 400 dmg (200 red) 100 proration
hit 3: 500 dmg (400 red) 100 proration
hit 4: 500 dmg (400 red) 70 proration

Dreals less damage, more red life damage and ends with 70 proration.

EDIT: WTF, there's something wrong with the videos of the Korean player. When I play them there's this silly music and some text + voice, but no video. For all parts. Other videos work fine.  :mystery:

Nope, it seems the video has been removed.  :'(

In the above video, the player lands this on Hisui:

jc counter 2a5c4c5a6aa 2c623b 4c623b 4c2c623b 4097 damage

Doing the exact same combo in MBAA I get 4880. It seems the 5a6aa nerf really hurts the damage output.  :emo:

First video confirms Half's fullscreen Momiji loop damage is 4k even from jc 2a starter. Later Hato manages 4.6k in the corner including 5a6aa with a jc 5c link.

I'll be rooting for Hato/Leo at Tougeki, hope they make it!  :toot:

EDIT: They made it! Also Kou is back to Vakiha!

I'm not very familiar with F-VAkiha, but this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWTlLsJLw2k#t=8m35s) looks like a nice cobmo I haven't seen before. It seems the smaller stage makes it possible.

yeah the screen has been scaled down a lot in MBAA. it's a little bigger than how it was in MBAC now. a good change imo. it's reminiscent of the full screen momiji loop on ciel in MBAC
: Re: MBAACC V-Akiha
: Rei October 13, 2010, 07:50:27 AM
In the Fuusui vs Ashie set, Ashie uses C-VAkiha. Includes some mid loop pit setups.
: Re: MBAACC V-Akiha
: Funky-kun October 13, 2010, 09:34:59 AM
623c 22c 2a2c623b has been around since MBAC.

Something more interesting you can do is if you 623c from midscreen and it doesn't bring them completely in the corner, for a moment you end up in front of them (closer to the corner). If you cancel into 22c and set it up like this, you can also catch them with 2a2c and go into sideswap combo to keep them in the corner. However, since the pit is set up the other way around, when it ignites it pushes them towards you. Good luck to your opponent guessing how to block then. >:D Also not entirely new, but cool nonetheless.

Btw, about the videos of Lucifer that got deleted from Nico a while back: I found some of them in CL's youtube channel (nick here is Ruciper xD). (http://www.youtube.com/user/CLmovie#p/u/4/HmeMwYKmGzI) There are 3 of them from the tournament and some previous ones against CL. Sadly, none of them feature him playing as C. Damn, he did some crazy mixups! If someone finds them, share please!

http://www.mgoon.com/view.htm?id=4051138
http://www.mgoon.com/view.htm?id=4051141

unfortunately part 1 isn't there, but there's part 2-4; part 4 doesn't feature Lucifer, but since its there might as well include it anyway
Lucifer's good, about the only criticism i have is that he needs to stop doing 5a6aa loops, dosen't he know that the increased proration on it actually reduces his total combo damage?  :mystery:
: Re: MBAACC V-Akiha
: Funky-kun October 30, 2010, 04:37:28 PM
Awesome! I've been looking for these for a while! +Heat

5a6aa looping is indeed excessive, simpler variations are more efficient damage wise, but grant less meter. Showoff. :bleh: Crescent 623c 22c mixup the gdlkness!  :fap:

New midscreen crescent combo here (http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm13100819). At least it's news to me.

2a5c4c5bb tk236a jab jbc

Damage is still pretty weak, but carries them further into the corner. Not enough for corner-to-corner in AA, but I believe it would do fullscreen in AACC. If you play around with the pre-ribbon placing of VAkiha and the tigerknee direction, you can end up crossing them up, and doing the sideswap 2.0.
: Re: MBAACC V-Akiha
: AARP|ZTB December 24, 2010, 11:23:48 AM
wonder if you can add an airdash attack in the aerial portion of the combo to sneak in some more distance. e.g. jab>airdash>jb>dj bc (sdj if necessary)
:mystery:
: Re: MBAACC V-Akiha
: Funky-kun December 24, 2010, 12:48:17 PM
You can do tk9 jab airdash jb j8 jc. No delay on the tigerknee gives a crossup, slight delay continues the combo in the same dirrection. It carries them a bit more but seems weird on some hitboxes. For example it crosses up Nero at the last jC in the opposite direction (yay double crossup combos). It's doable on Len with appropriate spacings. It really depends whether the non-aridash combo will be enough to put them all the way in corner in CC.

Crescent:
JC - Ground Untechable, No cancels from "air hit"

does anyone mind a bit more detail on this matter? does it just solely mean 'if you hit someone with it in the air WHILE their are Airborne you CANNOT cancel a special or super?'

i get the obvious of why that Above would be the case, otherwise you cud just a Pit setup of any random combo from JC. but until now i just thought it was No cancel at all, since it's an air move.

so if you hit someone with JC and tha hit gives the properties of the Air to Ground Untechable your unable to cancel any move correct? meaning like in the the 'link' above if you land a hit/block of JC ya still can Perform a Special/super.

???
: Re: MBAACC V-Akiha
: dakanya January 22, 2011, 03:49:07 AM
afaik it's special cancelable on block and i don't see why it wouldn't be special cancelable on hit and it may also only have this property in CC

It's very hard to get info on little stipulations like that without access to the game. It could or couldn't work as far as anyone knows, just assume that it's special cancelable on block only for now.
: Re: MBAACC V-Akiha
: dakanya May 25, 2011, 10:46:18 AM
as of ver 1.05

C-V.Akiha
can combo off of airthrow into momiji (airthrow groundbounce 2A 2C momiji)
can OTG relaunch with EX momiji off of j.C (requires proximity) or B momiji (fullscreen corner-to-corner! dash 623C OK! )
pit duration seems significantly longer (the normal pit lasted for like 20 ingame seconds but the round ended so actual length is uncertain)
overall higher returns and better options for knockdowns/setups everywhere

I've been watching a lot of F-VAkiha lately. Although there are no documented changes of damage nerfs (at least I think so) her damage seems to be consistently lower than in PS2. A 236C combo with jC starter not breaking 5k on Hisui is different from what I'm used to in MBAA. I've read people mentioning universal damage nerfs in MBAACC, maybe it has something to do with the engine itself, or maybe it is just overall lowering of damage values.  :mystery:
: Re: MBAACC V-Akiha
: dakanya October 12, 2011, 12:06:14 PM
I guess it was only talked about in IRC but for 1.05, F-V.Akiha has been significantly nerfed, iirc Kilvear photographed the notes and I translated them. They hinted that they may only be temporary... wait for 1.07 vids imo
: Re: MBAACC V-Akiha
: Funky-kun October 12, 2011, 12:15:37 PM
OK, thanks for the info. I hope they don't bring her PS2 damage back though, compared to the new average combo damage it would be ridiculous.
