Raishin Mahhaken

(Street Fighter III series)

(Super Street Fighter IV)

Raishin Mahhaken is Yang's first Super Art in the Street Fighter III series and his first Ultra Combo in Super Street Fighter IV. Executed by performing two quarter-circle forward motions and pressing punch (in the Street Fighter III series) or by performing two quarter-circle forward motions and pressing all three punches (in Super Street Fighter IV), the attack begins with Yang adopting a snake-style stance, 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 swip 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 Combo version.
