Haoh Shoukou Ken

Haoh Shoukou Ken/Haou Shoukou Ken (lit. "Supreme King Soaring Howl Fist") is a Super Special Move in the Art of Fighting, Fatal Fury and The King of Fighters series, serving as one of the signature attacks for practitioners of Kyokugenryu Karate.

A stronger version attributed to masters of the art, such as Takuma Sakazaki (or an aged Ryo Sakazaki taking on the Mr. Karate persona), is known as the Haoh Shikou Ken/Haou Shikou Ken (lit. "Supreme King Heightening Fist").

Description
The user via bracing themselves with a pose of sorts (normally with crossing their forearms in front of their face), fires a blast of qi/ki/chi in front of themselves. The position their hands often end up in unlike most two-handed chi-projectile-moves often involves their arms being far apart, and their palms being both above and below their heads.

As for the Shikou Ken, normally the user takes a extra step forward to likely add explosive force to the blast. Furthermore, even further mastery of this variation even allows some (again, such as Takuma) to even fire the chi as a powerful invisible puff of air akin to a fully-mastered Ko-Ou Ken (done with two palms instead of one). Takuma's version for the basic projectile variation often has the trait of being delayed for a set amount of time by holding down the button(s) used for the input, and unlike most Ryuuko Ranbu variations ending in a Kohou, is often used as the finisher to his own (even for stronger variations such as the MAX Super/SDM versions, firing 3 Shikou Kens at the victim as opposed to 1).

Uniquely for Yuri as shown in the image, while she originally had the Shoukou Ken as a basic super like her brother Ryo and Robert, as of KOF '99, she mainly fires the Shoukou Ken via a held down Ko-Ou Ken input as a way to psyche out her foe, as well as being the only user next to Takuma that does not need to spend a power stock to fire a Shoukou Ken or Shikou Ken variation.

Strategy
Depending on whether the or  button was pressed, the projectile travels at either a moderate speed, or at a fast rate. Additionally, it also beats through non-super projectiles as it continues its pathway. Be warned that Haoh Shoukou Ken is still considered a projectile, and can be reflected back by certain moves, such as Athena Asamiya's Psycho Reflector or Rugal Bernstein's Dark Barrier.
