Cross Arm Lock is a throw used by Jin Kazama, King II, Nina Williams and Paul Phoenix since Tekken 3, Devil Jin since Tekken 5, and Azucena Ortiz and Armor King II since Tekken 8.
To perform it, the player has to perform a running tackle or Ultimate Tackle and input 1+2 while knocking down the opponent. When performed by Paul, the move is called Arm Breaker. When performed by Azucena, the move is called Armbar.
When Jin changed his fighting style in Tekken 4, he lost the ability to perform an Ultimate Tackle, however he can still perform a Cross Arm Lock following a regular tackle.
King can follow up a Cross Arm Lock with an Arm Twist for an additional 10 damage.
Due to the removal of the generic running Tackle in Tekken 8, Jin, Nina, and Devil Jin can only perform a Cross Arm Lock if they reverse a takedown by a character who has an Ultimate Tackle.
