212 Shiki Kototsuki In

212 Shiki Kototsuki In (lit. "Method 212: Zither Moon Yin"), is one of Iori Yagami's Special Moves in The King of Fighters series.

Description
The user runs at the foe to elbow-cross at them, grabs them by their head, then slams them to the floor to explode them with purple fire.

While the face-grab motion only works if the elbow-cross connects on-hit or block, the face-grab by itself is a blockable hit-grab.

The version introduced in XIII however, it goes instead straight into the face-grab to drag the foe to the ground for a more prolonged explosion, but can also hit already-downed victims to add more damage as a pursuit-attack-finisher.
