Geta Stomp, called Demon/Ogre Geta (鬼下駄 onigeta) in the Japanese version, is a move which originally made its debut in Tekken 2 where it was exclusive to Heihachi Mishima. Prior to Tekken 4, it was named Geta Stomping in the US and EU versions. The move is only usable when the opponent is knocked off their feet where Heihachi will deliver a powerful stomp with his right foot.
In Tekken 4, Kazuya gained a similar, albeit weaker, move named Oni Stomp. In Tekken 5, Jinpachi Mishima received the move, and could use it at any time rather than requiring the opponent to be knocked down.
In Tekken 2, the stomp is coded as 25 damage but it only deals 16 damage to a grounded opponent or 20 damage during a juggle, as moves cannot deal full damage to grounded or juggled opponents.
Trivia[]
- Geta refers to Heihachi's wooden sandals.
- The stomp makes a generic punch sound in Tekken 2 if it connects, but in later games, it makes a wooden sound (even if Heihachi isn't wearing his Geta).
- In Tekken 2, there is a bug in the code which lets Heihachi stomp while facing the wrong way.
- In the PlayStation version of Tekken 3, it makes a 'clonk' instead of the usual sound (it fixes itself on the replay however, and Heihachi also performs a kiai at this moment).
