Heidern Slash

Heidern Slash is one of Heidern's Super Special Moves introduced in The King of Fighters XIV.

Description
Heidern slices the air in front of him and sends a large blue spinning buzz saw projectile towards his opponent. This buzz saw will keep damaging the opponent until it has dealt enough damage. The version of projectile's distance can be adjusted by holding  or  or.

Strategy
Do not be fooled by this move's low damage output as this is a very powerful super. On hit, this super locks the opponent down while leaving Heidern free to perform any other moves. In essence, this means that Heidern can apply much more damage while the projectile is active, even allowing it to do more damage than other 1-bar supers. Heidern's typical extensions from this super are Stinger and  Storm Bringer.

The version on the other hand, allows Heidern to choose a different landing position where the Heidern Slash may end up by either keeping the joystick/pad direction neutral, away from the opponent or towards the opponent. By keeping the position, it throws the Heidern Slash at the same distance position as the  version; by holding  will bring the Heidern Slash at the same position as the  version but will slowly travel towards the opponent; and by holding  will bring the Heidern Slash nearly at a full-screen distance.
