Shikofumi

Shikofumi ("Raise and Stomp Trampling"), is one of Hinako Shijou's Special Moves in The King of Fighters series.

Description
Hinako stomps her front leg down, creating a tremor.

Strategy
Shikofumi behaves similar to Daimon's Jiraishin. It is an attack that hits low anywhere on the screen, and the opponent either must crouch or jump to avoid the tremble. When hit from afar, the opponent can tech the knockdown, but if performed at a close range (either point blank or a part of a combo), the opponent cannot tech at all.

While there isn't a damage difference between the or  versions, there is a slight difference upon start-up; the  version starts up faster and is used in combos, while the  version has slower setup and isn't used in combos. This attack is good against opponents that are zoning from a far range with projectiles to entice them to come closer to you.
