This is because the escape window is very short. It is virtually impossible to chicken an attack reversal without anticipating it well in advance. The command can be either f+2+4 for right limbs and f+1+3 for left. The escape input is based on the attack being reversed. To accomplish this, a special escape input must be pressed. Raven (only done with back towards opponent)Ĭhickening is basically reversing an attack reversal.Jin Kazama ( Tekken 3 - Tekken Tag Tournament) ( Tekken 4 - See Power Stance).Heihachi Mishima (called Heaven's Wrath).True Ogre's Demon's Feast in Tekken 3 and Tekken Tag Tournament was also a special case where it was treated more closely to a grab and was only escapable by inputting 1. There are certain exceptions to this rule with the prime examples being Heihachi, Geese, and Leroy. Attacks that are reversed in a special way such as the Frankensteiner or Demon Scissors cannot be chickened. Anna is the only character whose generic attack reversal can also reverse shoulder attacks. Notably, attacks that involve knees, elbows, shoulders, headbutts and weapons cannot be reversed. Jun's reversal in Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is the only one that can be tag buffered. Certain reversals such as Lili's and King's can only reverse a certain type of attacks.Īnother variation is Asuka's reversal, where in Tekken 6 onwards, the command can be buffered to increase the length of her reversal state. Some characters like Asuka Kazama can extend the length of their animation by holding the command. The length of the animation varies among characters. It is crucial to not abuse this because the user is potentially vulnerable if the attacker misses or doesn't attack at all. The amount of damage is dependent on the damage of the attack being reversed. High/Mid Reversals can negate both a high or mid-range attack.
