Goenitz/Move List

Overview
Originally the final opponent in The King of Fighters '96, Goenitz it's an extemely unbalanced Zoner-type character. He is considered one of the hardest bosses in SNK history, to the point he can actually become unbeatable depending on which strategy he decides to take. The most dangerous move in his arsenal it's his Yonokaze, a very quick move which can cover basically all of the visible stage, does heavy damage and cancels all projectiles, even Supers. It can appear wherever Goenitz chooses and there is no way to tell where it will spawn. Besides that, Goenitz has also strong and quick multi-hit moves like Wanhyou (Tokobuse or Mametsu variants) and Shin Kototsuki Souga. Aditionally, he can also teleport with his Hyouga.

Trivia

 * The behavior of Wanhyo Mametsu in KOF98 UM became more akin to the Zanretsuken, where it automatically sucks in the opponent and hits them repeatedly, instead of being a frontal barrage of slashes. This change makes Goenitz more dangerous as a boss. In KOFXV, this behavior is seen when Wanhyo Mametsu is done in its EX form.
 * Yonokaze gains OTG hitting attributes in KOF98 UM as well, giving him more options in hitting opponents.
 * Goenitz does not run, and instead dashes in. The different sound effect used reflects this behavior as well.
 * The translations of his move names are approximate, since they are written in Cyrillic with hiragana (save for Shin Ya Otome, which is translated with kanji and only "Mizuchi" and "Jissoukoku" are written in Cyrillic in that case). The suspected kanji in light of the above translations are as follows:
 * Meifu no Mon/Hell's Gate: 冥府の門
 * Soukatsusatsu/Authority over Killing: 総轄殺
 * Uranagi/Reverse Rend: 裡薙
 * Yonokaze/Wind of Night: 夜の風
 * Wanhyou Tokobuse/Curved Ice Division: 弯氷床縁
 * Wanhyou Mametsu/Curved Ice Erosion: 弯氷摩滅
 * Hyouga/Icy River: 氷河. The term normally means "glacier", but given the art's nature as a wind-aided teleport, a more literal translation seems to be called for.
 * Shin Kototsuki: Souga/True Koto Moon: Claws and Fangs: 真琴月: 爪牙. "Frost Fangs" (霜牙) is also possible.
 * Shin Aoi Hana: Seiran/True Hollyhock Flower: Mountain Wind: 真葵花: 青嵐. "Holy Chaos" (聖乱) is also possible.
 * Yami Doukoku/Dark Lamentation: 闇慟哭
 * Shin Ya Otome: Mizuchi/True Eight Maidens: Mizuchi: 真八稚女: 螭. "Mizuchi" here can mean both "young water serpent/dragon" and "cruel".
 * Shin Ya Otome: Jissoukoku/True Eight Maidens: True Form of Cruelty: 真八稚女: 実酷. "Jissoukoku" appears to be a play on the Buddhist term "Jissougi" (実相), referencing ultimate reality. Koku/Cruelty is replacing Gi/Reality.
 * Fuujin Ibuki/Wind God's Breath: 風神息吹
 * Ibuki Nagayo/Night-Long Breath: 息吹長夜
