If you think about it...

if you think about the way akira's SPoD anime works, he really should be able to use it as a turn toward attack!
i mean, look at how he spreads BOTH arms, and steps through the attack, he really could do it going backwards /versus/images/icons/ooo.gif
of course, the damage would have to be toned down to like 60 points, because it would otherwise be unfair.

 

I'm no hardcore akira player but i rekon it should be the + , because he moves forward and does a shoulder attack and in the animation his back is slightly turned for a second. This could possibly be changed to a turn attack.

 

He does have a back-turned bodycheck in EVO. It's P+K.

 

i'm talking about his

I see what you mean, the P+K+G could certainly initiate from BT. Too bad he has only one TA move (in EVO - it's part of the DLC).

I don't see why the damage should be decreased.

 

Actually, Evo Akira can do the BT bodycheck any time, not just during a DLC. One player kept jumping over opponents after his +, and punishing with a couple of things. He tried the BD from BT as well.
