Shiniha vs Close-In Ram

Any reasons for using the Shiniha over the Close-In Ram?

 

(I had to look up what is shiniha..)

It is situational. The /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/db.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif does about 60 damage by itself, the biggest /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif combos are around 70, and not always do you get the chance to do them, like against a wall etc. So sometimes its feasible to opt for the lesser no-brainer damage. Also, if opponents back is next to edge of the ring without wall, opponent escaping /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif may result in Akira being ringouted but /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/db.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif is somewhat safer in this sense.

Personally I mix things up just for style and to avoid repetition..

 

Thanks Majinmaru, you've been a big help to me.
