Wall Bounce

Wall Bounce^[1][2] was a feature introduced in Tekken 7, it was originally only able to be performed by DLC guest fighter Geese Howard, and was later introduced to all characters in Season 2. Wall Bounce was later removed in Tekken 8.

Prior to its introduction, the property actually existed in Tekken 6, but was present only in NANCY-MI847J's Charge Dash.

Each character has at least one move that induces a Wall Bounce. It can only be applied on opponents not currently in the air and functions as a juggle starter when close enough to a wall. The enemy is launched towards the wall and bounces back from it, allowing for a short juggle and a setup for a high wallsplat. Additionally, a full launch will still occur even if the opponent would have received a side splat angle. The Wall Bounce will not occur against an opponent facing towards a wall.

Negan is the only character to be able to Wall Bounce mid-air opponents through one of his Rage Drives.

Unlike Power Crush or Screw moves, Wall Bounce moves originally were not separately marked in the in-game movelist. This issue was corrected in Season 3, which made a new icon to indicate Wall Bounce moves.
