Avenger (直突き Chokutsuki?, lit. "Straight/Direct Thrust"), later renamed and localized to Konshin Seikenzuki (渾身正拳突き Konshin Seikenzuki?, lit. "Whole Body Just Fist Thrust") in Tekken 8, is an Unblockable attack used by Jin Kazama since Tekken 4. Since its introduction, it can be cancelled by inputting b,b.
Description[]
Jin steps back into a feet-together stance (heisoku-dachi) with his left hand forward, drawing his right fist back to just under his ribs as he does. He then uses the momentum of this higher stance to drop into a forward stance and straight punch at the same time. The punch impacts the solar plexus and sends his opponent flying backwards.
Usage[]
The move can be used to lure in some players by initiating it due to the long startup. Although cancelling it before it can be interrupted is not beneficial.
Trivia[]
- It has also been referred to as Eighth Gate of Hell in some circles.[citation needed]
- In Street Fighter X Tekken, Jin has the Avenger move as his Cross Art.
