And this isn't how I normally play nowadays. In this match up, I was just focusing on dealing with Akira's pressure. Also going on the drawing board to see if I can do new combos with her that aren't too mainstream.
Kevin, don't know if you're wanting to learn Pai, or just using her for casual purposes, but do you have doa for ps3 at all? If so, I can help you out a bit on her. Good fight though.
