Ura 108 Shiki Ya Sakazuki

Ura 108 Shiki Ya Sakazuki (Reverse Method 108: Eight Sake Cups) is one of Iori Yagami's Super Special Moves in the King of Fighters series, first appearing in The King of Fighters '97.

Description
Iori throws a projectile that skims the ground and ends with a pillar of fire with a big splash at the bottom. The version creates several pillars spouting up in rapid succession, where if the move hits, the opponent is frozen in place. Starting with The King of Fighters '98, it can be held to delay the attack. The version also nudges Iori a bit forward upon throwing out the projectile.

Strategy
During version, Ya Sakazuki and Yami Barai cannot be used during this period, while Kuzukaze will whiff even up-close.

In its SDM version, it can negate some projectiles and opponent will take gradual minor damage while immobilized. Returns in '03 as a Super Desperation Move, still able to temporarily paralyze the opponent, but can no longer be held.

Trivia

 * Ura 108 Shiki Ya Sakazuki acts as a more-direct parallel to Kyo's Ura 108 Shiki Orochinagi.


 * While Ura 108 Shiki Ya Sakazuki was removed from Iori's moveset starting in The King of Fighters '99, it became Iori's Striker move in '99~'01 instead.
