Zanretsuken

Zanretsuken (lit. "Brief Fury Fist") is one of the signature moves of the Kyokugenryu Style, making its initial appearance in the Art of Fighting series and being a fixture of every Kyokugenryu practitioner ever since.

Description
The user rapidly barrages their opponent with punches solely from the leading fist by itself, lifting them higher with each series of blows. They them strike the victim away with either a launching strike or a forward straight punch.

Strategy
As it is an autohitting attack, only one hit is needed for the entire move to connect. It can serve somewhat as an anti-air and anti-jump-in. However, it has a large recovery time, leaving a large window of vulnerability if it fails in hitting, especially with projectiles.

Trivia

 * Only Yuri does not have this attack in her arsenal of moves.
 * Dan Hibiki's parody version, Danretsuken, does not autohit, and instead is a punch barrage. However, it is more comboable and extendable than the Zanretsuken with juggles and follow-ups.
 * In Takuma's version in KOF98, it uses the classical hit sound used since KOF94 and 95. However, in subsequent versions, it uses the standard hitting sound effects in its respective games.
