Ankoku Orochinagi

Ankoku Orochinagi (lit. "Shade-Black Great Serpent Mower"), is one of Orochi Chris' Super Special Moves in The King of Fighters series.

Description
Being a "dark/shade-black" version of the Kusanagi clan's Orochinagi, Chris holds up a finger with a violet flame on its tip. Then, he swipes forward akin to the 108 Shiki Yami Barai, creating a large wave of violet flames in front of him as he slides forward a bit in unison. He is also able to delay it via the button used being held down, albeit it has no effect on its damage.

Strategy
The antithesis of the Kusanagi clan's signature Orochinagi. Like its original counterpart, it is also THE main combo ender for Orochi Chris' metered and MAX Mode combos.

It should also be noted that, surprisingly, charging Orochinagi doesn't increase its damage, but actually slightly decreases its range. However, the charged version has a faster release upon it active frames, which is very important in grounded combos. Even then, like the original Orochinagi, it is fairly unsafe on block as the startup invulnerability is also limited, making it a rather poor reversal option.

Though the real gimmick is the specific type of attribute invincibility it offers depending on the version used; the version gives him invulnerability against lows, while the  version is invulnerable against mid and high attacks (including the MAX version). The said invincibility lasts as long as Chris delays the attack, which may work as a solid punisher even though the attack itself can easily be punished due to the recovery if whiffed or blocked.
