Description
The Electric Wind God Fist (EWGF) is a special move in the Tekken fighting game series, predominantly used by characters like Kazuya Mishima, Heihachi Mishima, and Jin Kazama. It is a variation of the Wind God Fist, but with added electric effects and properties. The move is executed by performing a precise input sequence within a very narrow timing window, making it challenging even for seasoned players. The EWGF is not only visually distinct due to its electric aura but also offers significant advantages in gameplay, such as increased damage, frame advantage, and juggle potential. Mastering the EWGF is often seen as a rite of passage for serious Tekken players, symbolizing a high level of skill and dedication.
Examples
- In Tekken 7, Kazuya Mishima's EWGF can be performed by inputting forward, down, down-forward, and then pressing the right punch button with perfect timing. This move is crucial for high-level play, offering a mix of speed, power, and combo opportunities.
- Heihachi Mishima's EWGF in Tekken Tag Tournament 2 serves as a cornerstone for his offensive strategies. The move's electric properties allow for extended combos and pressure tactics, making it a favorite among competitive players.
Additional Information
- The EWGF is considered a 'Just Frame' move, requiring precise timing to execute correctly.
- Players often practice for hours to master the EWGF, as it significantly enhances their competitive edge in matches.
