Animal Uppercut (アニマルアッパーカット Animaru Appākatto?) is an attack used by Roger and Alex since Tekken 2, and Roger Jr. since Tekken 5. The move was called Jumping Uppercut in Western versions of Tekken 2, however it reverted to its Japanese name in Tekken Tag Tournament.
The move is very similar to the Dragon Uppercut, even using the same input, however the animation, hit range and frame data is different. Unlike the modern Dragon Uppercut, which requires a clean hit to inflict major damage, Animal Uppercut always deals its full damage similar to the Dragon Uppercut in the original Tekken. Due to its similarity to the Dragon Uppercut, its Japanese name being Thunder God Fist, it was occasionally referred to by players as the Animal God Fist.
