Zantetsusen

Zantetsusen (Slashing Steel Flash) is a normal attack of Haohmaru in the Samurai Shodown series. In The King of Fighters series, it is one of his Command Moves.

Description
Haohmaru performs a powerful heavy overhead slash.

Strategy
Hands down Haohmaru's most iconic normal, Zantetsusen encapsulates Samurai Shodown's heavy damage. Although it is PAINFULLY slow, its damage output taking off 1/3 or 1/4 of your opponent's health (depending on the game) is more than worth it. Well... not really, as it can be easily punished if blocked or parried.
