Sway Moves:

Master Paul Phoenix's Sway stance in Tekken 5! Learn the commands for God Hammer Punch, Rubberband Attack, Sway & Low Kick, and Rapid Fire combos.

Alright, let's talk about Paul Phoenix's Sway stance in Tekken 5. It's a pretty cool move that he's had since Tekken 3, and it opens up some neat offensive options. Think of it as a way to get into a different offensive posture. You'll see it's pretty consistent across the games, so once you get it down, it'll serve you well. To get into Sway, the command is qcb (that's quarter-circle back). From there, you've got a few follow-ups you can use: ### During Sway in Tekken 5 Here's what you can do once you're in Sway: | Move | Command | Hit Range | |---|---|---| | Sway | qcb | - | | God Hammer Punch | qcb+1 | m | | Rubberband Attack | qcb+2 | m | | Sway & Low Kick | qcb+3 | l | | Rapid Fire | qcb+3,2 | l,m | | Rapid Fire to Phoenix Smasher | qcb+3,2,1 | l,m,h | | Rapid Fire to Stone Breaker | qcb+3,2,2 | l,m,l | As you can see, you can chain some of these together for some decent damage. The Rapid Fire into Phoenix Smasher or Stone Breaker can be a nice way to end a combo if you land the initial Rapid Fire. Just remember to practice the timing on those chains!
