182 Shiki

182 Shiki (Method 182"), is one of Kyo's Super Special Moves in The King of Fighters series, debuting in The King of Fighters '99.

Description
In general, this move tends to be a charged-up flaming punch attack of sorts, where the button used can be held-down to delay/charge the attack up to both increase its damage to a degree and also make it unblockable.

The appearance of the attack however, tends to vary:


 * In  '99, EX1 Neo Blood, 2002 Unlimited Match, XIV and XV, Kyo braces himself as he faces downwards to power-up, before unleashing a stronger-altered-variation of the 427 Shiki Hikigane (performs a turning-hook-punch similar to the Dokugami, and finishes with a low-stance uppercut with his leading fist akin to the Hikigane finisher). This version tends to do multiple hits, with the latter 2 games instead having an explosion occur at the end of the upper.
 * In 2000, 2003, the Maximum Impact games, EX2 Howling Blood, SvC Chaos and XI, Kyo instead rears away from his with his arms apart from one another, then throws a slugging-hook-blow of fire that does a single hit. Though in EX2, limited capacity has the final frames end in a Dokugami animation instead.
 * In both XIV and XV, the newest MAX version has Kyo combine both versions to where upon launching the victim into the air, he then goes right into the fire-laced slug upon them landing.

Strategy
To be added soon...

Trivia

 * In the Maximum Impact games, one of Kyo's Stylish Arts string finishers ends in a 182 Shiki-esque punch for both versions of him (base and Classic) via using his right fist instead of his left, with the input being Down Forward Input.png]]+ [[File:Neo Geo A Button.gif, Neo Geo C Button.gif,Forward Input.png]] + [[File:Neo Geo C Button.gif.

 * Like theDown Forward Input.png]]+ [[File:Neo Geo A Button.gif, (Neo Geo C Button.gif) x2 string and aforementioned Oboro Guruma string finisher however, this specific fire punch somehow does not inflict any chip damage on block.
