Andrew vs Konjou Akira - Virtua Fighter 5 Online

One terrible, tired performance on my part. Even at my best though, it always ends like this.
Konjou Akira is the best player I've ever encountered, in any game. Playing Akira effectively in Virtua Fighter is arguably the biggest challenge in any fighting game in history.

Even though I've been a dedicated Akira player since the Sega Saturn days, this guy just blows me away.

Just watch it go down versus this guy.
It all adds up to one unbelievable finish on his part. Totally owns me in the most beautifully complex way possible.

I was wondering how you showed the inputs on screen like that?

[GoDokuNoDAN]

SPoD isnt that hard really, YC like you Ive been playing since VF1 days. SPoD was always really hard for me , because I was lazy and always used a pad. The DLC (Dragon Lance combo) really forced me to accept stop using a pad.If you use a Joystick with sanwa parts, its much easier. the trick to landing it in a livematch is either evade one of their attacks, the Spod, or back up, let them come to you then SPoD. Another dirty trick is SPoD them as soon as the match starts.

you should buy a different controller for xbox the dpad sux on xbox

[Ankoku15]

Agreed, you basically have to input the entire combo every time and hope your timing was right

That and practice it for hours on end in the dojo, lol

At least I feel a little better for never having landed a SPOD. I never knew it was so well known in the VF community. I'm just an amateur player but I've never understood how one can land that move. Thanks for posting.

You never forget your first SPOD.

[MclovinSon]

i beat Konjou Akira a few times but he will make you work for it

[ShinAkiraZero]

the thing with SPODs is you need to commit to the move. you can't see if it hits THEN do the rest of the inputs. SPOD isn't that hard when your hands get used to it though.

add me GT is OhNoYouDidnt VF
