Ura 1212 Shiki Yakumo

Ura 1212 Shiki Yakumo (Reverse Method 1212: Eight Clouds) is Kyo Kusanagi's Climax Super Special Move in The King of Fighters XV.

Description
Kyo throws a large 108 Shiki Yami Barai, stunning his opponent. He follows up with 2 flaming punches and ends with a flaming tornado that imbues the Kusanagi clan logo above him.

Strategy
Hands down Kyo's coolest and flashiest Level 3 Super in the entire franchise, but one that's underwhelming in gameplay. The projectile that Kyo launches is fast and can travels about 90% of the screen. However, it has a slightly slow startup, and it is a mid attack. Additionally, Climax Cancel combos from juggles using / versions of 182 Shiki will miss. While the total base damage is 490, it never reaches this value as it scales itself with its own hits. On the other hand, it has a higher than average minimum damage of 245.

Trivia

 * Kyo's quote when using Ura 1212 Shiki Yakumo will change if he is fighting Team Orochi (Yashiro Nanakase, Shermie and Chris), with the quote being from what Kyo says during Saishu Kessen Ougi Mushiki: "I'll show you, the fists of the Kusanagi!" and later ending it with "Our histories are different." (歴史が違うんだよ) instead.
