Gassho Hineri

Gassho Hineri (lit. "Clasped-Hand Twist-Down"), is one of Hinako Shijo's Super Special Moves in The King of Fighters series.

Description
Hinako jumps at her opponent to grab them, shake them around, then throw them to the front end of the screen she's facing.

The version has Hinako swing her opponent around 4 times before throwing them away, adding a little flourish with a spin on the spot.

Strategy
The distance of Gassho Hineri's leap is about a hyper hop arch away from the opponent. Gasshou Hineri does have start-up invincibility, but its rather short. Hinako has lower body invincibility during the leap but can be hit before the grab comes out. Although the grab is blockable, it can catch opponents normals, Command Moves and some Special Moves during it except for counter based moves. If whiffed or blocked, Hinako can be easily punished. This move is best used to either avoid ground skimming fireballs, to punish opponents recovering from reversal based Special Moves or Super Special Moves and can easily combo at the end of her Maemitsu Tataki.
