Description
Executed by pressing back and Heavy Punch, Akuma performs an upward palm strike that hits almost vertically above him.
Tenha returns in Street Fighter 6 but no longer as a command normal. It instead becomes his crouching Heavy Punch. It now only deals one hit, and no longer launches grounded opponents.
Tactics
Besides Goshoryuken, this move is one of Akuma's anti-air tools. It has a 6-frame startup, which is faster than some of his Medium and Heavy normals. It also hits the opponent twice and launches them into a juggle state, allowing Akuma to follow up with other attacks, such as Sekia Goshoha or Tatsumaki Zankukyaku. However, this move is -10 on block, making Tenha one of Akuma's least safe unique attacks. In Street Fighter 6, Tenha is -8 on block, making it slightly less unsafe.
