Terry does Tatsumaki Sempukyako in the Fatal Fury 2 (I'm fairly certain he calls it out just like that in both the sub and the dub) anime, transitioning into a Power Geyser at the end in the CotW clip.Sup Taiso, “旋風拳” from the anime and “旋風剛拳” (Tung Fu’s signature attack) from the games are different attacks (a distinction made in the japanese guide). The translation of “拳” (kobushi), doesn’t always just mean “fist” in a literal sense, but also means attack/style of attack in translation (ie. attack/fighting style that uses or produces a whirlwind [旋風]).
I was just shocked to see it at all in the game, since the plot and characters of Masami Obari’s anime and the other manga releases were always considered outside the canon of the actual games themselves lol Figured it was just a cool nod (similar to the joke/reference to the anime in KOFXIII).
That looks like what he's doing in the CotW clip. A Tatsumaki Sempyukyaku into a Power Geyser.
It looks like CotW is paying tribute to the Fatal Fury 2 anime here. So why would they call the first half of that move something other than what's in the anime?
