[quote=@Masaki Haruna] Match up... maybe but absolute zero..... [/quote] Like I said, that's if he ever get's to level 5, which is a rather big if I would think, and if he fought with Ria in a situation where they didn't have an advantage over each other, which Akuma would definitely avoid, as would Akira. They're used to fighting in back alleys, and thus are good at using their surroundings in a fight, and while they aren't even close helpless in wide open spaces and designated fighting zones, they excel in narrow alleys and buildings where their are a lot of paces to ambush their foes. On another note: Was the post involving Akane and such any ood on a emotional level, as I feel like I need to improve on that? I liked it, but I'm not sure if I hit all the notes I was going for on it.
