[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.]
PROBABLY... I LOVE MY FIGHT THREADS!!!
