In the ''[[Street Fighter IV]]'' series, the attack is included as a [[Unique Attack]]. This unique attack can only be performed as a part of a Target Combo, which is performed as follows: Kintekishu (back and medium kick, which performs a low kick), Tenkukyaku (medium kick after Kintekishu, which performs a backward-facing splits kick to the opponent's jaw), and Tenshokyaku (down then up and medium kick, which performs the attack as it was in other games). Unfortunately, this version of the move cannot be used as an anti-air attack as the first two moves must be performed on a grounded opponent. Since it is no longer a special move, it does not cause chip damage if blocked.

Description

Tenshouken

Tenshokyaku in Super Street Fighter IV.

Chun-Li leaps upwards and kicks while spinning repeatedly, hence the move's name. The move's hitbox is mainly the area of Chun-Li's kicks, which connect into eachother easily. The amount of kicks, damage, and the height Chun-Li leaps depends on the strength of the kick button used to do the attack; weak kick has few hits and small distance, while the strongest kick button makes Chun-Li leap to the top of the screen. It is effective as an anti-air attack and can also be used for combos and juggles.

As a Unique Attack

In the Street Fighter IV series, the attack is included as a Unique Attack. This unique attack can only be performed as a part of a Target Combo, which is performed as follows: Kintekishu (back and medium kick, which performs a low kick), Tenkukyaku (medium kick after Kintekishu, which performs a backward-facing splits kick to the opponent's jaw), and Tenshokyaku (down then up and medium kick, which performs the attack as it was in other games). Unfortunately, this version of the move cannot be used as an anti-air attack as the first two moves must be performed on a grounded opponent. Since it is no longer a special move, it does not cause chip damage if blocked.
