Advanced Mishima Tactics
Electric wind god fist- f,d~df+2
The ewgf is an advanced move that is only in Jin and Heihachi's arsenal. It looks and operates like the wind
god fist (CD+2) but, juggles higher and straighter & does slightly more damage. Ewgf is a frighteningly
fast move with excellent hit properties. Combos such as cd+2, cd+2,cd+2 are possible because of the EWGF.
Ewgf is one of the more difficult move to master in tekken. It is done by pressing foreword,
down and down foreword + 2. However, 2 must be pressed at the exact same time as df.
There are two very important characteristics of the EWGF that set it apart from the WGF.
- on a counter hit, the EWGF will launch opponents up, where as the WGF will launce opponents away.
- if you whiff the EWGF you will be surrounded in a flash of lightning, if you whiff the WGF... no lightning
So, if you play the practice mode with the counter hits on, you should be able to see when you are
actually doing the ewgf.
If you hit the person and they fly across the screen, you are not doing ewgf. If that happens
ewgf across the screen untill you get up to them (if you do ewgf, you will see that jin flashes
with lightning.) repeat the process till your left arm falls off.
EWGF is a very tricky move, here's some pointers.
- Some say that if you time the right punch at the d (instead of the df) you'll find that
ewgf comes out. So, try the motion f~d~2~df or f,d~ 2+df.
- Some others say that if you just do the stick motion very fast, it will come out naturally.
I think this combo is an excellent way to force a fast wgf motion.
that's a hell sweep, 3 ring circus, wind god fist/ewgf
- Another effective way is to not do the down motion at all.
So the new motion is
As long as you hit 2 at the exact same time as df, you will ewgf.
Otherwise you will just wgf.
crouch dash cancelling
A crouch dash can be cancelled into another move, this a great
deception and should become second nature to your Mishima strategy.
Cancelling a Crouch dash is done by first, doing the crouch dash,
then, returning the stick to N. From there you may push foreward and
2 to do a demons paw (if your Jin, demon upper if your heihachi)
so the motion would be this f,d,df,N,f+2
you can cancel into many moves, experement and see what you can come
up with (or check the character specific faqs, something will
probably pop up there too)
One interesting note of crouch dash cancelling is the slightly
famous "wave dash" which is a crouch dash cancell into a crouch dash!
It moves foreward very fast, allowing you to lunge at backpeddling
opponents. It is also difficult for your opponent to tell when you
will fuck them up with a crouch dashing attack.
the wave dash is done as follows...
f,d,df,f,f,d,df,f,f... or qcf,f,qcf,f...
