The Kikokurenzan is one of Akuma's unique attacks, introduced in Street Fighter V.

Input
Street Fighter V Arcade-Button-HKick+Arcade-Button-HKick

Description

Kikokurenzan

Executed by pressing Heavy Kick, followed by a second Heavy Kick, Akuma delivers a high roundhouse kick. Once his attack connects, Akuma spins toward his opponent and finishes the combo by high, spinning heel kick.

Tactics

This move is one of Akuma's target combos. Compared to his other target combo, this one inflicts less damage. It also doesn't result in a knockdown. His opponent can avoid both attacks by crouching, leaving Akuma vulnerable on whiff. However, this target combo is 0 on block, making it safer than Kongoken.

Kikokurenzan is mainly used to start combos to inflict optimal damage. The most efficient time to use this target combo is when the opponent is stunned or during V-Trigger combos. This combo is also +7 on hit. If the second attack connects, Akuma can link into Standing Medium Kick for a follow-up combo.
