1999 Shiki Kiri Homura

1999 Shiki Kiri Honoo (Method 1999: Misty Flame) is one of Kusanagi's Super Special Moves in The King of Fighters series.

Description
Kusanagi performs a 3 hit punch, ending with a punch to the sky that explodes and launches opponents.

Strategy
1999 Shiki Kiri Honoo has guard point on startup and does amount fair damage to the opponent. It is a bit hard to punish if blocked because of the massive amount of range Kusanagi is pushed back from the opponent. The last hit on 1999 Shiki Kiri Honoo has a large hitbox that is larger than Kusanagi's fist, making a good punish tool for unsuspecting opponents trying to punish you.

Trivia

 * 1999 Shiki Kiri Homura is based on Syo Kirishima's Striker attack.


 * Kusanagi's quote while using 1999 Shiki Kiri Homura parodies Domon Kasshu's line from G-Gundam.


 * The method number also is a nod to The King of Fighters '99, the start of the NESTS Saga, and was also Syo's debut as a striker (in this case The King of Fighters '99 Evolution; Syo and Kusanagi also have been both voiced by Mitsuo Iwata to drive the allusion home further).
