Description[]
Executed by Heavy Punch, then pressing forward and Heavy Punch, followed by pressing forward and Heavy Punch again, Akira delivers a strong punch to her opponent's midsection. When the attack connects, she pivots and spreads her arms out wide, performing a palm strike with her leading hand. If the second punch connects, Akira switches her stance and finishes the target combo by driving her leading elbow into their body to knock them back.
Tactics[]
This is one of Akira's target combos. Her Standing Heavy Punch is one of her stronger pokes that slightly moves her forward, making it a decent mid-range attack. If the first attack hits, Akira can either cancel into one of her special moves, or cancel into two consecutive forward Heavy Punches to push her opponent toward the corner.
The third attack of this target combo results in a knockdown. If her opponent quick rises, Akira can be +4 after dashing forward, allowing her maintain pressure on them. Like most target combos, this is is very unsafe on block. However, even though Akira is -16 on block, she can cancel into her V-Trigger to regain frame advantage. If Akira hits her opponent with this target combo and cancels into her second V-Trigger, she can finish the combo with Ha no Sogeki or Ten no Renbu.
If Akira is equipped with her first V-Skill, she perform the Renkan Renkiko target combo to enhancing his next Kiko Kai. If Akira is equipped with her second V-Skill, she perform the Renkan Tsutenda target combo to launch her opponent in the air for a short Air Burst combo.
