[He says, before immediately darting forward with the same speed. Offense isn't his strength, but he can definitely try to swing a punch from below, aiming for his ribs.]
[and the strike is so obvious that Akira has no problem ducking to the right to avoid it so that Guy winds up punching air instead. and as he dodges? he reaches out to grab Guy's arm. in the same motion, he pivots on his heel, showing his back to Guy as he attempts to use his opponent's weight against him to. . . uh]
[basically flip him over his shoulder and back and onto the ground in front of Akira]
[it's a swift movement, but Akira is relying on the momentum and the leverage of his back to carry Guy forward. . . he isn't particularly strong, so any interruption in that momentum could easily cause the toss to fail. but hey!! he still has to try!!]
we are going to be tagging this fight for the rest of the game, how much you want to bet
[It's a good try! There's an intake of breath as Guy's feet leave the ground, his weight twisting to the side to try and keep him from being completely prone. He still gets flipped, but instead of landing flat on his back, he's tossed to sprawl to the side in a messy roll across the ground, arm wrenched and throbbing but significantly less dazed.
It will take him a moment to get his feet back under him, which gives Akira another opportunity to act.]
[it sure does, and Akira isn't about to put any distance between them. he's better as a melee fighter when he's without his Persona, so he advances on Guy almost immediately, aiming a sweeping kick at his feet to keep him on the ground]
And then they fought forever and we retconned most of these injuries, the end
He'd had his weight mostly centered in an attempt to dart to the side, but Akira gets there first. His legs are snapped out from under him and he goes toppling back to the ground--
-- only to launch his weight off his own shoulders in a back-tuck, aiming to hit Akira upside the face with the heel of his boot before he can regain the distance.]
