Chopping Elbow (チョッピングエルボー Choppingu Erubō) was introduced in Tekken Tag Tournament for Bryan Fury's moveset. When Gatling Rush was introduced in Tekken 4, Chopping Elbow's (TK4) command changed to b,b+1. From Tekken 5 onwards, Chopping Elbow can once again be performed with b+1, as the beginning of Gatling Rush's command was changed to b+1~2.
In both Tekken 6 and Tekken Tag Tournament 2, the attack will trigger a Bound. In its original appearance, it was also Tag bufferable.
A more powerful version of this move serves as the basis of Bryan's Rage Drive in Tekken 7: Fated Retribution.
Usage[]
Chopping Elbow might be a bit slow, but its Bounce Juggle property and slight guard break can be worth the risk. This move leaves the user vulnerable to sidesteps, so it must be used with discretion.
