As Rebecca attacked, it seemed like she had already come down from the elevated level of wrestling she had reached for a moment. A straightforward run in with a fist cocked low was what she was presenting to Tiki. More than simple to handle, by Tiki's standards. With a near foot and a half height advantage came a similarly large advantage in reach. With it, Tiki would throw out a quick counter jab at Rebecca's nose before she'd even be in range for a body blow. It would counter a run-in punch with no trickery, and would even stuff some misdirection attempts if Rebecca waited to make her move. But even if the brunette had a trick up her sleeve, and committed to it early enough to not get hit by the jab, Tiki would still have enough time to recover from her jab and try to react to Rebecca's move.
If Tiki's jab hit, she would follow it by dropping her shoulder and trying to bury a right hook into Rebecca's ribs. If that connected, the veteran would complete the striking portion of her combo with a Flying Knee into the shortstack's face. Normally, Tiki was past the time when she could jump high enough to knee a standing opponent in the face, but Rebecca was short enough that the greenette figured she could still pull it off.
If Tiki landed the Flying Knee, she wouldn't land on her feet. Instead she would lean forward in midair as she tried to fall on top of Rebecca. She was expecting the knee strike to knock the shortstack down on its own, but even if it didn't, Tiki's weight coming down on her most certainly would do the job, barring a counter from the shortstack. Tiki wanted to fall down on Rebecca in such a way because she was planning to finish this. If she succeeded in landing on top of Rebecca, she would lock her into a Grapevine Breast Smother Pin that she called Dragon Vines to go for the KO.
