- Analysis:
Simple R1 offense from the previous game.
With the ability buff stats in this game, Keiji Maeda's R1 is actually quite strong. Strong enough to even take out the toughest enemies in Story/Free Mode with a single R1. It contains there elemental activations with his spins and a giant stomp causing three whirlwinds at the end.
Icebolt is his most recommended setup, however slightly more difficult to land a full-hit. The goal is to freeze the enemy and land a full-hit on the stomping whirlwinds. His stomping whirlwinds does more than his elemental spinning portions of his R1. Echo helps with damage output, but more importantly, INCREASING the chances of enemies' stay on the ground to activate the Ice on Icebolt more frequently.
If Icebolt isn't the preferred elemental combination, Flamebolt will do. However, with Flamebolt, this will severely impact his damage output on the stomping whirlwinds.
The most consistent hitbox for his spinning R1 is slightly towards to the right of Keiji. After the spinning portion of his R1, enemies' would want to be placed in the center of the stomp for full damage.
=====
Note:
Tested this, even if he full-hit stomps the enemies when they are grounded, but not frozen, the damage is still reduced. This is because the whirlwind is actually a three-hit simultaneous moveset. Though seemingly simultaneous, if one of the whirlwind reaches the enemy before the other whirlwinds, it causes severe aerial penalty damage reductions. Best result is freezing the enemy for full-hit and full damage.
=====
The biggest difference in his damage would be if the enemies froze in place or not. If they don't, the best he can OHKO is against a ~1.5x super officers with full-hits. If enemies freeze, then it's a matter of full-hit or not.
RA (Run Attack) will prevent enemies from using their running attack and force enemy AI to block. This is to take advantage of them by having them stand still so Keiji can a land full-hit more easily. Without it, it's seemingly impossible to track enemies movements when they RA, making his R1 difficult to even land.
No audio because this was recorded through the features in PS4.
