I'm wrapping my brain around this character as well; here's some casuals I've had recently:

Some things I've noticed...
GOOD
* Solid damage output on bnb; its like 4K on Sion/high defense characters, so at least she is okay when she lands a hit. You can increase this slightly with the meter variant by using 623C
* As noted before, movement is better than regular Akiha
* Solid defense modifier
* pits and columns are all air unblockable
* Command grab
* 214C is excellent full screen punisher, comes out very quickly
* 623's are good air defense, better and more easily used than normal Akiha; 623C is one of the best reversals I've seen besides my Ries
* Heat/Blood Heat command grab has tons of invincibility....
BAD
*....But requires you to be point blank for it to connect or it fails completely
* dunno about the obsession with everything being kicks, but her normals suck; I believe she has trouble with faster rushdown characters and she has problems getting pressure because 2A is slow and furthermore, not chainable into itself
* columns are as stated air unblockable, but VERY unsafe on whiff, at certain distances and if the opponent gets around them, miss it and your ass is wide open to retaliation as she sits there FOREVER (no positive frames like normal Akiha 214B
), slightly better if you use them in the air however
* 236s are strange, I need more time to get used to them but they seem easier to get over or under; however they do have longer range than normal Akiha; however sucks you can't combo off them, they're unsafe or neutral on block and you can't TK them for oki combos
* jump ins generally suck, especially with characters that have good AA normals and fish for CHs; generally J.A is best and since you CAN chain it multiple times in the air you can combo off this, also okay for ticking, however I see no real cross-up potential and her B is fucking odd in that it points UPWARD
I def see some potential tho and I love Akiha, plus I hear you're not a true MB player until you pick up a Lolicon, so sticking with it.
