As with all other characters, A.K.I. has a collection of Combo Trials for players to practice. These trials start with basic beginner combos and go all the way up to advanced. This is a great practice space to see just how quickly the attacks need to be inputted in order to pull off the entire combo. If you’re ever unsure of how the combo should play out, there’s also an option to view the combo and get an idea of what the entire string looks like. All in all, Combo Trials are a great place to start working on mastering A.K.I.’s combos as well as to learn combos you can always fall back on.

Other A.K.I. Combos in Street Fighter 6

While Street Fighter 6’s Combo Trials are a great start at working on combos, there’s actually a near infinite number of combos you can pull off. For A.K.I., once you’re used to her Combo Trials combos, you’ll want to start practicing combos that are more practical. You can use A.K.I.’s Toxic Blossom effect, Sinister Slide (D + PP) and its follow-up moves, and Drive Rushes and Drive Rush Cancels to keep combos going. The following are some of A.K.I.’s best combos to know and put into practice.

The sheer number of combos possible in Street Fighter 6 can be overwhelming. When just starting out with A.K.I., the best combo to practice is

C.LP, LP, LP, QCF + HP

This combo will work in many situations and can be strung into other combos using Drive Rush or Drive Rush Cancels.

To get the most out of these combos, the opponent must be poisoned first, outside of the combo.
