vs. Akiha / V.Akiha AD
You must be holding one of the following directions before the AD flash:
Then, after the flash, hold '4' to stand and block. Akiha will not grab you so you'll safely block the AD.
Notes:
- Only Aoko and WLen can block it in the corner. They must be crouching before the flash.
- With the characters at the bottom of the list, don't try to predict the AD or you'll just eat any low pokes. Just remember that if you just happen to already be holding '4' when Akiha does a point-blank AD, you can just keep holding it to block instead of having to heat-escape.
- Nanaya randomly gets grabbed anyway.
- Ciel can crouchblock after the flash.
- At a certain range, it's possible to trigger the grab sound without actually being grabbed. Crouchblocking with Ciel does it, as does crouching very slightly after the flash ends with some characters.
vs. Kouma's AD
The grab has more range than Akiha, so it doesn't work as easily. In fact it only works with 2 characters:
- Aoko: Crouch before flash (even in the corner).
- Miyako: Must hold '4' pre-flash.
None of the above applies to AADs. Those have a much longer grab range.
You must be holding one of the following directions before the AD flash:
