Akira's 4P+K+G Analysis

, one of akira's best moves imo.

I did some testing on my own and hopefully no one has mentioned this before..

The 'sabaki high P guarantees

' theory will not work if the sabaki was performed when akira has too must disadvantage(-10) example after his knee. I observed this point in one of the popy tourney clips when the sarah player manage to block the akira's

. If you have too much disadv, it is best to throw your opponent instead.

Sabaki high P can guarantee spod or yoho is the sabaki is performed when akira has the minimum of 1frame adv. eg after akira's

.

After sabaking a low p, the

followup tends to miss sometimes but this is definately not due to stance or whether the Akira has advantage or not. The reason is range. Eg, after

, opponent low p, if Akira perform the sabaki,

immediately, it would miss. However, if akira buffer in a

before the sabaki, the followup would hit.

sabaki's follow up:

sabaki,

......(71) points.
(you can also do

->dragon lance.)

sabaki,

......(73) points.
(this is my favourite and discovered it by luck. It gives you tons of initative after that. For beginners, you can also do

->dragonlance for the same damage. Remember to hold forward when you do the

.)

(Near wall)
Sabaki,

(wall hit)->knee......84points?(cant remember the damage. This is high damaging and very easy to do.)

Well, that's all. Enjoy!

PS: sabaki,

, the

is the palm followup after the successful sabaki. Jus in case....
