Tactics[]
As a Drive Reversal, Souha Double Palm serves as a way for Akuma to escape offensive pressure being applied to him, similar to Alpha Counter or V-Reversal. While Akuma has many invincible options to escape the opponent's pressure, whether it be his Super Arts or Goshoryuken, his Drive Reversal can be useful due to its considerably lower disadvantage on block. This move can be only be performed when Akuma is in blockstun, after a successful Drive Parry, or while recovering from a knockdown. On hit, it inflicts decent amount of provisional damage, breaks armor, and knocks the opponent a fair distance, allowing Akuma to continue zoning them out with projectiles.
