Description
Executed by pressing forward and Medium Kick, followed by Heavy Kick, Akira performs an aerial cartwheel toward her opponent while delivering a pair of downward kicks upon completing the rotation. If the first or second kick hits the opponent, Akira performs a jump spinning wheel kick to send her opponent tumbling in the air.
Tactics
This is one of Akira's target combos. Her overhead is mainly used to catch her opponent off-guard when they are crouch blocking. It is -7 on block, which may leave Akira vulnerable if she isn't well-spaced from her opponent. If she manages to hit one or both kicks against her opponent, Akira can confirm into Standing Heavy Kick to complete the target combo.
Successfully hitting her opponent with Totenshu results in a knockdown. If her opponent back rises, Akira can dash forward to maintain pressure. In the corner, she can follow up with Light or Medium Urarimon to stuff out her opponent's counterattacks without putting herself in a punishable position. However, the second attack won't come out if Akira whiffs the overhead or if her opponent blocks it.
