The Air Burst is a game mechanic exclusive to Akira Kazama in Street Fighter V, as well as characters in the Rival Schools series.
Description[]
Exclusive to Akira Kazama in Street Fighter V and the Rival School series, the Air Burst is the ability to act out of a launcher attack and strike with multiple hits in and during an air combo. Gravity is also slowed while in this state, and normals and specials can chain into each other for a short period. The free combo state occurs as long as Akira is in the air after a launcher. This allows for Akira to do combos other characters cannot do. In Street Fighter V, the Air Burst state can be entered by jumping after a clean hit with her V-Skill.
