Germinal

Germinal (Spring) is one of Ash Crimson's Super Special Moves in The King of Fighters series, first appearing in The King of Fighters XI as his Leader Super Special Move, and last seen in The King of Fighters XIII.

Description
Ash dashes across the screen, leaving a trail of green flames (and his opponent) behind him.

Hitting an opponent with this move seals your opponent's special attacks for about 10 seconds. If Ash executes Germinal, it will automatically end the Sans-Culottes install.

KOF XI
Germinal comes out extremely fast, making it useful for footsie games. If the opponent whiffs 1 normal, this move will definitely catch them off guard. Unfortunately, this move does little damage and can't hit airborne opponents unless they are close to landing or beginning to jump. Germinal can also combo from both light & strong attacks. If this hits a cornered opponent, then both fighters will be repositioned and placed outside of the corner.

KOF XIII
In addition to sealing your opponent's special attacks, it it also seals your opponents special attacks, Hyperdrive Meter, and Super Meter for about 10 seconds, though the opponent can still use Guard Cancel Rolls or Blowback attacks. It doesn't work as an AA unless they're right near the ground as soon as you activate it. Ash will get more hits and damage if germinal connects mid screen than if it connects in the corner. In addition, Germinal can hit airborne opponents.
