Cobra Twist (コブラツイスト Kobura Tsuisuto?) is a back throw exclusive to King I in Tekken 2 and King II since Tekken 3.
Starting in Tekken 5 King can also perform it as part of the Mexican Magma Drive 2 chain throw combo as the immediate follow-up to Cobra Clutch. King cannot perform any of the Mexican Magma Drive's follow-ups with the back version of this throw.
The Mexican Magma Drive's Cobra Twist can only be followed-up with Reverse DDT.
Description[]
King spreads his opponent's legs, putting his right leg in front of theirs and their left arm behind his back and pulls backward, snapping their joints. In professional wrestling this hold is called the "Abdominal Stretch".
