Evaluation

A quick, low-profile maneuver that carries you forward. An effective means of closing in on your opponent or avoiding attacks.

How to Use

Snake Step (236K) is A.K.I.'s forward dash with a low-profile trajectory. 236LK is a short feint used to bait reactions. 236MK is the core oki tool — used after knockdowns to close distance at +5 and threaten both meaty pressure and a shimmy-less guess. 236HK covers more ground for neutral movement. 236KK (OD) is a longer version that can be panic-counter thrown on read, making it a risk if overused. The low profile during the dash can also dodge some mid-range pokes.

How to Counter

Snake Step's distance varies by strength. Each version plays a different role.

  • 236LK: feint — moves barely forward, used to bait reactions
  • 236MK: used for wake-up pressure; leaves A.K.I. at +5 point-blank, removing walk shimmy from her kit
  • 236HK: longer dash, used to approach
  • 236KK (OD): can be throw-countered on read for a panic counter

Recommended counters

vs 236MK Used as an oki tool. Recognize that at +5 point-blank A.K.I. cannot walk shimmy — plan your defense accordingly.

vs 236KK (OD) Throw for a panic counter on read. A unique throw-buffer technique exists specifically for A.K.I. — worth learning.

  • Safe jump throw buffer: input throw just before the safe jump attack lands. If A.K.I. used 236KK, the throw connects.
    • A.K.I. has no OD invincible reversal, so you don't need to hold back
    • Input neutral or forward to avoid accidental back throw — forward input is also fine since A.K.I. only has SA invincibility
  • Light chain throw buffer: replace the chain-cancel window of a light string with throw input. Throw lands only when A.K.I. has used 236KK.
    • Input neutral or forward to avoid accidental back throw
