Combo List

  • Combos containing BB AB AB etc. denote Boomerang Hook/Sonic Punch loop. If delay is listed next to them (e.g. delay AB), both moves need a slight delay.
  • Most combos ending with 236B can replace the ender with DP, 5C, or 236B+C for different oki and damage.

Combo Theory

Akihiko gets his big damage off Cyclone juggle loop (lv5 A Sonic Blow > B Boomerang Hook). In order to make this work, he needs to get the opponent airborne then get to level 5 Cyclone by the time he gets to A Sonic Blow. The most common way to do this is to start a Cyclone chain and combo an assist call into 214B or 66B without letting the Cyclone levels reset. As long as you have at least 1 Cyclone level by the time you go into 214B, doing BB A followup will put you at level 5 for A Sonic Blow. After getting into the loop, you just need to loop A Sonic > B Hook until the combo is about to drop. Try not to lose count of how many reps you've done; it's possible to get as many as 8 hits off certain starters.

Alternatively, Akihiko can do lv0 214B or 66 into BB AA AB. This only works early in the combo as the untech time from A Hook is a lot shorter, so you'll primarily be doing this when confirming mixups into 236X+P.
