Akira Move Help!!!

I'm having trouble with doing the Double Palm (/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d_.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif) quickly. For some reason, doing it as stated in the command list doesn't work for me, but it works if I do /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif instead, however, this takes longer than I want it to so I am unable to finish the comboes off. So are there any quick ways of pulling this move off?

Also, I don't completely understand how to do the /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif release /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif after 1 frame move. Can someone help me with doing this move?

I'm not sure I should help on either of these really lol. There's a lot of threads started over these two moves with him. But I'll try and help anyway lol.

Concept is you have to hit K and G at the same time, while only hitting the G for 1 frame, and the K for more than 1 frame. Best advice I have is to go to training mode, and turn on the display which shows the frame counters. This will help you realize how long you are holding each button for. As for the physical technique, it's all preference but many tend to go with resting the edge of your thumb on the edge of the G button, essentially just flicking it as you hit both K+G. It's not an easy move, so don't get too frustrated if you're not getting it right away, and then getting consistant at it is another thing all together. So just keep at it.

 

Alright, thanks a lot. I don't think it's all about the input speed for the double palm for me, I think the main reason that i'm not finishing the comboes is because I have to think for a split-second too long before I finally get the button presses out lol. So, i guess im just gonna work on making the combo faster and more efficient overall.

 

You can practice low /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif, /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif
or
guarding low /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif, /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif

And try backdash /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/db.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/db.gif or forward dash /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif then /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif that also works very well.

 

Just to note, in many combos you will actually need to learn how to buffer crouch dashes into dbpm (hence getting a m-dbpm or modified-dbpm) in order for the dbpm to connect, you will rarely have the luxury of performing it from a crouching move (unless you're floating a HW/similar and can throw in a /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif in there somewhere).

Which combos are you trying to perform?

Something like;

/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif, /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif, /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif, /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d_.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif

should be pretty easy but something like;

/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif, /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif, /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif, /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d_.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif

requires you to modify the dbpm with a crouch dash (you buffer it, so you won't actually see the crouch dash).

 

You can perform "from crouch" moves from the first frame of crouch dash onwards, the character doesn't need to be in crouching position. This is the 'expert' way of doing Akiras (and everyone elses) from-crouch moves.
