Renkan Tsutenda

Renkan Tsutenda is one of Akira's unique attacks, introduced in Street Fighter V.

Input

Street Fighter V	>+>+ (Only during V-Skill II)

Description

Executed by Heavy Punch, then pressing forward and Heavy Punch, followed by Medium Punch and Medium Kick simultaneously, 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 delivers an upward knee strike to launch her opponent in the air.

Tactics

This target combo can only be used if Akira is equipped with her second V-Skill. 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.

Similar to Tsuten Rengeki, Renkan Tsutenda gives Akira a way to score additional damage while maintaining frame and positional advantage. While Tsuten Rengeki has a faster startup and can be linked from Crouching or Standing Light Punch, Renkan Tsutenda inflicts more damage. Instead of propelling them high in the air for a standard Air Burst, the last attack launches them slightly lower for a short Air Burst. From there, Akira has a variety of follow-ups. She can cancel into EX Hotenshu or her Critical Art. Akira can also jump toward her opponent and tack on extra damage with a short string of jumping normals; ending with Shintenshu or an Airborne Kiko Kai. She can hit her opponent up to five times before the juggle ends.
