Description
Executed by performing a quarter-circle forward motion and pressing punch, Yang steps forward and performs an inward open-palm slash with alternating hands (following hand, then opposite, then the leading hand via an outward one) when input 3 successive times in a row. Though for 2nd Impact, the final input instead ends with Yang's far standing medium punch instead, which is an elbow bash.
The distance, speed and startup time are determined by the punch button pressed at the initial input: light punch version has shorter startup time; heavy punch version travels the furthest and fastest, and medium punch balances the two. The recovery time depends on the number of strikes; there is almost no recovery time after the first slash, but the recovery time increases for each subsequent one performed.
The EX Special version slashes five times; the timing for this does not vary, and the only control Yang has over the series of strikes after the initial input is the distance.
Tactics
This attack is central to Yang's style, as the timing between strikes can be varied in for use as a hit confirm, thwarting an opponent's attempt to counter (e.g. parrying), or as a solid approaching tool. Attacking with more than one Tourouzan can create an opening for a foe to punish, due to the longer recovery.
Trivia
- In Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition, Yang's cinematic winning animation has perform this attack.
