that's sort of how a uppercut starts out...unless you come from Street Fighter Earth |

What's best about this shot is the direction of the arrows...

NEITHER of these animations are recycled, and are in fact brand new animations made for the set, just like eery other Street Justice animation.

To counter the OP's Con, I'll add to this by saying that the 1st two StJ attacks are pretty much my favorite two new animations in ages.
Then again, Shadow Punch and Smite have been my favorite two in game for years now.
To each his own.
You guys just reminded me that (In Beta) I loved the elbow/forearm smash variant of that animation, because I was using a character that had the Finned Gloves!
I like the alternating animations, but sometimes I'd love to be able to lock them to one as well, hehe.
Still, I enjoyed every other time I hit that power a little more.
