The Raishin Mahhaken (雷震魔破拳, "Lightning Quake Devil Breaking Fist" or "Thundercrack Demonic Shattering Fist") is one of Yang's special attacks, introduced as his first Super Art in the Street Fighter III series.
Appearance | Function | Input |
---|---|---|
Street Fighter III series | Super Art I | + |
Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition | Ultra Combo I | + |
Description
Executed by performing two quarter-circle forward motions and pressing punch (in the Street Fighter III series) or all 3 punch buttons (in Super Street Fighter IV),
Yang adopts a snake-style kung fu stance ("I'll show you!") then
dashing forward with a hand thrust. If this connects, he will twist his
hand and swipe it upwards, knocking the opponent up into the air
slightly.
What happens next depends on the version. In the Super Art, he
will immediately finish the combo by dashing past the opponent with a Tourou Zan movement, hitting multiple pressure points as he does and inflicting sizable damage. This final dash can be compared to the Zan'ei art that his martial arts teacher, Gen, uses.
In the Ultra Combo, he follows the upward swipe with a smaller
Tourou Zan that leaves him on the far side of the opponent, then a
vertical Tourou Zan, then a jumping, flipping hand slash which hits
multiple time, another Tourou Zan which leaves him on the original side
that he started on, and finally the dashing pressure point strike from
the Super Art version ("Looks like you couldn't avoid that one!").
In Fanfiction
In my fanfiction crossover story Street Fighter X Mai-HiME, Yang still uses this as one of his Ultras. And Natsuki Kuga manages to learn this move as of chapter 17 of the said story; the move's animation for Natsuki's Raishin Mahhaken is still the same as Yang's version seen in Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition. Let's not forget this Ultra Combo is Shizuru Fujino's weaknesses.
