Aqrabuamelu, called Vesta (ウェスタ/Wesuta) in Japan, is an attack used by Zafina since Tekken 6.
Description[]
Zafina performs a back kick in which she circles her leg around to strike the opponent. A successful hit will knock the opponent down and move them to their left.
Trivia[]
- In Mesopotamian lore, the Aqrabuamelu were monstrous creations of Tiamat with the upper bodies of humans, but with the lower halves of scorpions in lieu of legs. After the defeat of Tiamat and Qingu, they were not slain, but instead tasked to maintain the gates of Shamash, the sun god, opening them for his departure at dawn and arrival at dusk, and warding off would-be intruders, such as Gilgamesh. The word "Aqrab" (Arabic : عقرب) itself means "scorpion".
