'''Dragon Uppercut''' | '''Dragon Uppercut''' is one of several [[Command-input moves]] exclusive to {{SSBU|Kazuya}}. | ||
==How to perform== | ==How to perform== | ||
The player must execute a → ↓ ↘ + hold the attack button, in which it will be used out of a [[Crouch Dash]]. Holding the button is key, as simply tapping the attack button will result in a [[Wind God Fist]] instead. If done successfully, he does an electrified jumping uppercut with his left hand with very high knockback. Dragon Uppercut is notably one of Kazuya's few ways to reliably hit characters on the [[ledge]], making it a strong anti-ledgecamping tool | The player must execute a → ↓ ↘ + hold the attack button, in which it will be used out of a [[Crouch Dash]].

This move is impossible to do when Rage is active, as performing this attack during that window will result in [[Rage Drive]] instead. | |||

Dragon Uppercut, called ''Thunder God Fist'' (雷神拳 ''Raijinken'') in Japanese, has been in ''Tekken'' since its inception and is used by every character that does Mishima-style fighting karate, though characters like Armor King have also used it | Dragon Uppercut, called ''Thunder God Fist'' (雷神拳 ''Raijinken'') in Japanese, has been in ''Tekken'' since its inception and is used by every character that does Mishima-style fighting karate, though characters like Armor King have also used it. Like in ''Smash'', the move is quite slow and is generally not used often due to better options. Kazuya's [[Rage Drive]] is a variation of this attack that follows up with [[Heaven's Door]]. [[Heihachi Mishima]] has a stronger version known as the Omen Thunder God Fist that has existed since ''Tekken 4'', and can also use it as a [[Spinning Demon]] follow-up. When Kazuya transforms into Devil in ''Tekken 7'', he can also use the move as a follow-up to Spinning Demon. Both Devil and Devil Jin can extend the move into Heaven's Door. | ||
Two slower, but more powerful and unblockable versions of Dragon Uppercut, named Lightning Uppercut and Lightning Screw Uppercut, can be performed by Kazuya, Jin (pre-Tekken 4) and Devil Jin, in which they spin once or twice, while surrounding themselves with electricty before delivering the uppercut. | Two slower, but more powerful and unblockable versions of Dragon Uppercut, named Lightning Uppercut and Lightning Screw Uppercut, can be performed by Kazuya, Jin (pre-Tekken 4) and Devil Jin, in which they spin once or twice, while surrounding themselves with electricty before delivering the uppercut. | ||
