The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters. |
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted. |

{{{content1}}} Wind God Fist and Electric Wind God Fist in Ultimate. | |
User | Kazuya |
Universe | Tekken |
Wind God Fist (風神拳, Wind God Fist) is one of several Command-input moves exclusive to Kazuya.
How to perform
To execute, the player must perform a → ↓ ↘ + tap attack input. If done correctly, Kazuya will perform a powerful uppercut that will send the opponent flying. The launch angle makes it useful for setting up platform tech chases, though it is strictly outclassed by Electric Wind God Fist outside of this.
Electric Wind God Fist
Electric Wind God Fist is a more difficult to perform variant of Wind God Fist. If the attack input is performed the frame before, on, or after the ↘ input (as long as ↘ is still held), the uppercut will have an electric effect and paralyze the opponent before launching them, while also being safe on block. When hitting shield, the opponent will either momentarily trip or go into a recoil animation. While being difficult to perform due to the timing, the reward is large, allowing for much more effective combos and confirms into attacks like up smash. Since it is performed out of a Crouch Dash, Electric Wind God Fist is an excellent, safe approach tool with massive reward on hit.
Origin
The Wind God Fist has been in Tekken since its inception and has been a staple move in Mishima-style fighting karate, and thus all the Mishima family members. The electric variant, originally introduced as a hidden move for Jin Kazama in Tekken 3 and later extended to other "Mishimas", is considered to be among the most iconic moves in the franchise and traditional fighting games as a whole. The original Wind God Fist is generally considered to be training wheels prior to learning the Electric Wind God Fist as a result of its inferior properties. In Tekken 4 onwards, the Electric Wind God Fist is a "just frame" attack, only having a 1-frame window with no buffering available.
