Hammerhead (クロスチョップ Kurosu Choppu, lit. "Cross Chop") is a Rush Attack used by Tien Shinhan.
Overview[]
A flying headbutt.
Usage[]
After trading even blows and blocks, Tien seems to disappear but suddenly appears diving towards Jackie Chun in an attempt to knock him out the ring. However, the wise Turtle Hermit simply jumps out of the way.[1] Only in the anime, Tien uses the attack again near the end of his match with Jackie Chun, attacking from above this time (inadvertently causing the technique to resemble Nam's Cross Arm Dive, while his first usage of the technique resembles Cross Arm Attack).[2]
Video Game Appearances[]
This technique was named and is used by Tien in the Butōden series, notably in Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Battle 22.
It is also one of Tien's strong physical strikes in the Budokai Tenkaichi series, notably used as part of his Tri-Attack technique.
