Project Justice/Akira

Introduction

Akira is definitely my favourite character in the game. She is beautiful and strong and she hasn't been given huge bosoms or anything to make her more appealing to shallow people.
-Falsehead from Gamefaqs, CEO of Tiffany slander

Everyone's main since Third Strike, Akira is a character that struggles at long/mid range, but once she's in, can run a train on you. Your objective with her is to land the first hit of her rekka series () into air launcher follow up, or to start her Textbook Combos. Some of her go-to Tardy Counters include side stepping and hit-grab Specials, which make her a good pick for players who favor a defensive play style. Her main shortcomings are her short range, and having to work for her damage more than other characters in the game. As a partner, her Team Up Techniques are rather standard, but her Party Up Technique is hella cool, so there's that.
