Before I say anything, I'll say that I play fighting games and am familiar with the term "rekka". But I feel that this would be a poor addition to TvTropes for a few reasons.

I don't feel it's necessary to restrict it to fighting games, as a number of action titles let you cancel an ordinary attack into another attack with a different animation, if not different properties, simply by pressing the same attack button again. I've played quite a few games that have this, but I would never call it a "Rekka series".

Something about the Iron Fist and Noel examples bugs me. They cancel special moves into special moves, yes. But Morrigan in [=MvC3=] can cancel her Soul Fist with flight. It's cancelling a special move with a different special move, but I would never call it a "Rekka Series".

It also requires that "special moves" exist in the game, which is vague. Casse in point, BlazBlue has special moves and Noel is no exception. But her rekka series is her drive.

You ''may'' be onto a worthwhile entry with this, but it's going to require a fair bit of rewriting and a rename. "Rekka" is FGC jargon and I feel it should stay that way.
