The Crane
Live now — unclaimedThe final move of the game. Opens worldwide 17 September.
Every month AirPunch unlocks one more move you already half-know — the ones everybody copied off a screen as a kid — for every player on the planet at the same second. The first to land it well enough and prove it on video takes this spot, with their name, their clip and a badge that is never handed out again.
The opening kick of the series. Unlocks 17 September 2026 at 10:00 JST, submissions close 12 October. Nobody has claimed it yet — the clip that lands here will be the first clean Crane in the world: the earliest verified submission that clears the quality bar.
One kick a month, September 2026 through August 2027. Each slot holds the winner's clip, their gamer tag and the exact second their submission reached our server.

The last kick of the series. Everyone who holds all eleven badges may enter.
Each kick unlocks worldwide at the same second. Land it, record it, and submit the clip from inside the app — AirPunch burns the move, the score and your gamer tag into a five-second video. The order is decided by the moment your submission reaches our server, and every entry is checked by hand against the motion data from your watch.
Participation is open to players aged 16 and over and requires consent to publication. Clips stay private until verified; entries that are not verified are deleted after the event. Warm up before you attempt a kick, and clear the space around you first.
