When's Melty on Steam?
ahaha that's no--wait, what?

It's pretty clear that there is some sort of stigma around Akiha. I think it probably originates from some where in the past before her current incarnation, but that doesn't explain why there still are no akiha players. I know the guy who introduced me to melty thinks she's the scrubbiest character in the class, and I don't really see how.
So, if you play Akiha, please post why. If you don't like her, enlighten me. And if you know the secret reason why even the Japs refuse to main her, spill the beans.
I play Akiha because hitting with 5(b) makes me happy, and tk ribbons are cheap.
-
I would think that the Japanese don't play her because Aka Akiha exists. If you're going to use one, might as well use the better one?
-
i love her j.2C. sure v.akiha has it but the way she says it is pretty hot. that and the 6C. i also just liked her more than v.akiha, don't really know why... maybe its the black hair.
-
I play Akiha because ... well she's cute >.> but i also play V Akiha ... whom I'm trying to main now ...be for it was Akiha .. their both cute ...
Akiha was the first char i played back when i first got MB and when i played vs my firend he used Ciel ... so i figured what the hell ... i don't know ... i cant give you any complex reasoning .. she's a great character but lacks something ... V Akiha has that something so i guess thats why V is more popular.
-
I play Akiha because she's hot :D Also because when I first got into the game, she was one of the few characters that actually appeared in a downloadable match video(the old bell vs linalys one on combovideos), and the thought of playing a fiery girl in a seifuku was too good to resist.
Besides V. Akiha being better, I guess Japan doesn't play her because of how popular she was before? Like in early ver. A/FT days, where Akiha was considered S Tier, maybe people got used to fighting against her or something, I dunno.
-
Just look for Yukinose vids.
-
I play Akiha on occasion when I don't feel like playing my mains.
-
nobody plays regular akiha cuase shes a jerk and she doesn't drain life with her grab.
-
Bah, I bumped into like 3-4 Akiha's down in Atlanta.
Plenty people play that bitch.
:P
-
I guess she just doesn't have the coolness factor like Nanaya and Ciel seem to have. Even Nero too. It's like the arcade scrub that you play that picks SA2/3 Akuma. :V
-
we have Psylocke and we dont' need another ! but we sure need to see a VAkiha around here :V

oh noes thats me. x-ism raging demons lol

That's how we do it in the A.
-
I play her for the eyes. Hers are the same color mine are, and that jumped out at me when I first saw her. Plus I play her well. ;)
-
^Ah, reminds me how Akiha became my first character back in the original version. The brown hair and blue eyes got to me. :V
-
since when was akiha's hair brown???
normal form should have black hair
demon form her hair is red
-
I play both versions, but I like Akiha Tohno better. Vermillion is the better character and all, but I don't want all of my life taken with one combo, especially when fighting high damaging characters like Kouma. His standard BnB does 50% to her WITH mashing :psyduck:
Plus I think regular Akiha does much more dmg than vermillion (YEA I SAID IT). Plus no one ever seems to block the j.2C fuzzy guard :mystery:
-
I play Akiha for the extreme lack of boobs. Kind of refreshing. Plus she has balls.
-
i played akiha because of the red/black outfit in re-act. sexah!
-

I don't know...it looked a bit too light to be black to me, so that's why I thought it was brown. :V
-

LOL thats the exact same costume I used, SO HAWT!!!
I guess I am odd... I main'ed Satsuki with Akiha being a close secondary(I actually think i was better with Akiha but Satsuki was SO MUCH FUN)

:[ is vermillion really better than tohno? Cause i like tohno

Akiha Vermillion
Double airdash, fastest character in the game
6C ground overhead leads into the 623B loop from almost anywhere
ground throw regenerates life
j.C, extremely strong jump-in, corner KD and leads into OTG
30second EX flame pit
623B loop is high damage and is a safe EX pit setup
Pillars are relatively useless
Weakest defense in the game, dies in almost 2 combos
Akiha Tohno
TK j.2C, fastest overhead in the game, true 50/50 mixup
214X, air unblockable and leads to juicy combos on counter-hit
j.2C, option select/tech traps in the corner
wallslam corner combos do great damage
2C corner loop gives a ton of meter
Most defense in the game, usually takes at least 3 combos to die
Is one of the more slower characters
Conclusion
You make the decision for yourself because now I'm lazy. You've got my respect if you can play Akiha Vermillion though.

Thanks.
The Akiha effect is gone, plenty of people are playing her now.

Conversely, Japan hates V Akiha now. :psyduck:

Much sadness. However, I refuse to change. Bloodsucking rage-filled redhead ftw.

I'm thinking of switching from V. Akiha to Akiha, just cause she takes damage like politicians take bribes. :mystery:
-
Hey, it's only fair. V.Akiha has one of the highest (if not THE highest) damage multipliers in the game. Playing her is basically playing "kill fast or be killed". :P It's only balanced that she gets shafted in the defense department, when her offense is through the roof like it is.

Playing a good Akiha player (Psylocke) is very different from playing a good VAkiha player (magz). Against a VAkiha player who knows what he's doing, it can be extremely intimidating. Her defense is terrible, but she makes up for it with her insane barrage of mixups and speed that it keeps you in lockdown. To play her, you aren't meant to get hit; you're meant to completely destroy your opponent. Giving her a defense modifier like Akiha would make her too broken. ;D
-
I main Akiha. I rarely play anyone else, except for when I want to play something like Neco Arc Chaos for fun or Kouma to shake things up.
I played every character, and I won a lot more with her than with anyone else. I basically learned everything I know from just maining Akiha.
I already loved her from Tsukihime, but she's an appealing character to me for many reasons.
-
I play Akiha V. because I started out with her. Then I said 'hey, let me try the one with the translucent flametongues!' and I didn't quite like it. specifically she runs slow and I'm used to Akiha V. dashing in straight lines through the air. I do like Akiha's air possibilities though... Akiha V. falls like a rock.
I don't think Akiha V. does particularly much damage, though. I see Sions doing ~5000 damage and Red Arcueids doing more damage than Akiha V. can hope to make in the same number of hits.
-
I play Akiha becuase... Akiha is my favorite character ever <3.
Akiha is pure love and everything she does is awesome <3.
She's fun to play as though, anyays, even if I do suck as her horrendously.
-
Haven't really considered maining Akiha until recently. Mains I've tried so far in the course of my play were Shiki, Nero, Kohaku, VSion, and Sion.
I guess I decided to switch to Akiha because I like her 'flow'. She has so many useable options (mid screen, corner, wallslam, flametongues, flamepits, TKs, etc). I also like the fact that she's somewhat of a scrubby character, but it takes a lot of execution to main her at high levels.
And then there's color 23 :)

on top of that when playing against a good akiha V. player this is what happens, match start, ohhh crap block block block block block, repeat for like 7 seconds (all the while you are losing circuit from flame pit), I think I can poke out now, ohh wait no I can't crap, 623B'ed, rinse and repeat.

Who can't find a gal who can vaporize you with a look attractive? ;D
