New Akira Skills

I am not sure if this has been posted, but I haven't seen it myself so here it is; I have found the following moves (names based on the Chinese names for the actual techniques) with Akira: Bow Step Splitting Palm B, D/F P+K; Does an over head chop which forces the opponent to crouch after being struck. I tried but the SPoD won't connect afterward unless the opponent is brain dead, and there aren't many of those types playing. It also can hit on the bounce (or bound) if the opponents head is towards Akira. Guaranteed after a MC D/F P+K. Next is, after the Tying Coat (Pull in Throw) you can either immediately input B, F P+K which will do a Head Butt/Shoulder type strike which hits for only a little damage but staggers the opponent back into a range where you can follow up with pretty much anything. OR after the Tying Coat throw you can do D/F, D/F (CD timing and motion) and he will do a SUPER EVADE like move where he runs behind the opponent and positions himself at point blank range. Tetsuzanko (bodycheck) does well in this position, but mainly the move is like an improved Shinporiko (surprise exchange), putting you closer to the opponent, and leaving the opponent stunned a bit longer.
Alot of moves have different results now, but I think they have been discussed elsewhere.

 

This is some cool stuff here. Thanks, Malak. And feel free to post more stuff like this whenever new VF4 gameplay tactics and strategies are being uncovered there.

Yup, that's the stuff I was trying to describe. After the PIT -> b,f+P+K, a few Akira players liked to attempt a charged b,f+P+K.

 

actually, that is kind of strange because chouzanhosui (B,F p+k) doesn't reach, and if you charge it, the opponent has plenty of time to do whatever because the stun is not very long. I tried it plenty of times, and chouzan didn't seem a good follow up at all... what did you see happen, maybe we have different rev's.
