Crimson Star Road

Crimson Star Road  is one of K's MAX2 in The King of Fighters 2002, The King of Fighters 2002 Unlimited Match, and The King of Fighters Neowave.

Description
K' seemingly slips by his opponent, and suddenly reappears behind them, giving a thumbs down as they're suddenly struck by an unblockable explosion.

Strategy
Crimson Star Road is an unblockable move that hits instantly if activated at about Crouch range, but can be jumped away from after the super flash if used any further away than that. Unfortunately, it does pretty mediocre damage for a MAX2 (about 30%).

The input is also sort of tricky at first. After the motion, you have to piano from  to  very quickly. Can be used as a corner combo ender, but K's Chain Drive does almost the same damage.

Trivia

 * Crimson Star Road is named after an episode of the anime series Legend of Galactic Heroes.


 * In KOF 2002 UM, K' is shaded in black, grey and white during the explosion of Crimson Star Road. This artstyle seems to be based off of the box art of the original KOF 2002.
