Vendemiaire

Vendemiaire (Vintage) is one of Ash Crimson's Special Moves from The King of Fighters series.

Description
Ash does a three hit unblockable chain combo that ends with him uppercutting the opponent into the air for a follow-up attack, for the best results use it like a command throw although if you miss there is absolutely no whiff animation.

Strategy
Though it might look like it, Vendemiaire IS NOT a command grab. At best, it functions more like Kyo's Kototsuki command grab, but without Ash having to run towards the opponent to use it.

That being said, while it's relatively slow, it can still be a very effective way of catching the opponent off-guard since it's an unblockable attack that can launch the opponent for a free Nivose on hit. Or even better, a free Super Cancel into Pluviose if you have the meter to spare for it. As mentioned above, it has no whiff animation, which can further add to the element of surprise up close.

Trivia

 * The move bears a striking resemblance to Remy's front throw, Disturbed Sleep Outline, from Street Fighter III: Third Strike.
