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
Essentially Iori's more-direct parallel to Kyo's Ura 108 Shiki Orochinagi, he throws a Yami Barai projectile that skims the ground and ends with a pillar of fire with a big splash at the bottom (either via traveling a short distance before doing so, or upon contacting the opponent on hit-or-block), while the MAX/SDM version puts up several thinner columns, spouting up in rapid succession. When the move hits, the opponent is frozen in place; Ya Sakazuki and Yami Barai cannot be used during this period, while Kuzukaze will whiff even up-close.

In '98 and a few other games, the attack buttons can be held to delay the attack. The C version also nudges Iori a bit forward upon throwing out the projectile.

In its SDM version, it can negate some projectiles and opponent will take gradual minor damage while immobilized. Removed in '99, becoming Iori's Striker move in '99~'01 instead. Returns in '03 as a Super Desperation Move, still able to temporarily paralyze the opponent, but can no longer be held.
