Byakko Soshoda

( to feint)

Byakko Soushouda, also known as the White Tiger Twin Palm Strike, is one of Yang's special attacks. Executed by performing a quarter-circle backward motion and pressing punch, the attack is a simple two-handed pushing motion strike at around the level of Yang's abdomen. Similar to Yun's Kobokushi but with a longer range, the speed and damage are determined by the punch button used; light punch has the fastest execution and weakest damage, heavy punch has the slowest execution and the strongest damage, and medium punch is halfway between the two. There is a significant amount of time taken to actually execute the attack; this means that it is often pre-empted by an opponent's attack. However, timed correctly, the attack is extremely powerful and its hitbox is such that it will hit an opponent who is performing a usually unassailable move. There is no EX version; instead, using more than one punch button will perform a feint; Yang will draw back as if to perform the attack but does not. This is useful in baiting pre-emptive attacks or parries, as Yang will suddenly perform an unexpected attack.
