[h3]Akuma, Supreme Master of the Fist - 13th Hierarchical City of Kagutsuchi[/h3] While the man's doll had displayed the ability to deflect a Hadoken, this was far from a remarkable feat. Akuma had fought countless warriors capable of deflecting or nullifying the technique in the past. But, it did give the martial artist an excuse to exert himself somewhat, all while pushing his opponent to the limit. While his expectations were low, perhaps Akuma would be pleasantly surprised by this man in purple. Now, for his next action, the warrior decided on a more [i]direct[/i] approach. Maintaining his forward alacrity, Akuma descended towards the doll with his arms drawn back. When the time was right, his hands shot forward; however, he did not seem to be going for a strike. Rather, Akuma moved to seize the doll by the shoulders, and utilize momentum and physical strength in tandem. Should the maneuver succeed, the doll would find themselves forcefully swung upwards as Akuma performed a swift mid-air somersault. The rather peculiar throw would then culminate in the martial artist viciously slamming the doll earthward. Or, if Relius happened to be close enough, directly into him.
