Anyways, time for me to be a semi-hardcore TEKKEN nerd now....

Omen Thunder God Fist (OTGF) is one of Heihachi's staple moves. This move is performed by Forward Neutral Down Forward Left Punch (TEKKEN legend notation is 'f n df' + 1). If you perform a Shoryuken motion in Street Fighter, than this move is almost the same. But the reason why this move is a staple to Heihachi is that this is a 'just frame' move, which means following the notation, you have to press Down Forward and Left Punch at the same time, which will get some time to get used to. This is similar to another famous move relevant to the Mishimas called the Electric Wind God Fist (EWGF), which all 3 Mishimas have (Heihachi, Kazuya and Devil Jin). These three also have the Thunder God Fist, but only Heihachi has the OTGF. In previous games, this move, starting in TEKKEN 4 I guess, is used as a combo extender for juggle combos, which is hard to do due to its input execution. Basically OTGF is a much faster move than the regular TGF and has good properties. However, in TEKKEN 7 (starting with Fated Retribution expansion in the arcades), this move actually got way better, as this move is also a pretty good juggle starter with some big damage! Some of the best OTGF in the series.

Alright, enough about me nerding about TEKKEN again, enjoy!
