It's really damn hard,pushing that H but to just for 1 frame,almost an impossible task if you don't have a different grip on your controller than you usually do.

Yeah it difficult . Slide your thumb in a quick motion from H to K you get the knee to come out but sometimes it does not. Doing combo challenge and doing 3 of them during combo I'm like WTF you serious lol.

It's easy for me and I play it on a Xbox One controller 
I just skim my finger on H+K (R1) while holding down K. All thanks to Sly Bass showing me how to do it.

If Sly Bass's method doesn't work for you, you can try my method, as xRELICXx posted above. I personally don't like having to switch controls just to play one character so I just use the default controls. It's really all about preference. His Guard break of Doom (Toryu Tenshin Hazankai) is much more difficult imo.

I have tried both ways already. Slybass one I can't do at all hitting it with 0% with that way.
Yours I do get it sometimes out but not all the time. Only method working where I get it a lot is sliding my thumb quickly from h to k.

Like I said, its all about preference. If you found a method that works for you, then stick with it. Although even if you know the knee, there's a lot more to Akira than that. If you intend to learn him, be prepared to put in a lot of effort into him lol.
Gurimmjaw
Yeah but still I can't get it to come out 100% of time and get the standing k.
And know it more about the knee with Akira. Though hard to learn a character if you can do one of the important moves

Now om not sure of I'll really be learning him and using him. I mean he's really fun, it just that knee. I can do his other moves fine.
Gurimmjaw
I meant can't do one of the important moves.

It's actually possibru to play him without the knee if you at least know how to do his 3H+KP466P+K, P+K43T6P (SPOD) and utilize his get-in moves properly (P, 2P, 46P, 66P, 666P, 6P+K, etc.) though you would miss out on more damage for a couple of his juggles.
Gurimmjaw
Well good news I can now do it about 80% of the time now. Found a better way have my index finger on square and middle one on circle and just slide it across to right real fast
Gurimmjaw
BTW what his gbod?

Akira's Combo Challenges are indeed difficult,I think that you had to do 4 knees on Alpha?,if so,than that was hell for me
