Strike Slash

Strike Slash is one of Krohnen's Special Moves, first appearing in The King of Fighters XV.

Description
Krohnen turns his rear arm into a spike, then jumps forward to slash his opponent overhead.

Strategy
Compared to its prior iterations in KOF 2001, KOF 2002, and KOF 2002 Unlimited Match, this move is much more well-rounded and easier to use.

The is the fastest version that leads into a knockdown (which under most cases can be followed up with a Heat Shield on hit) and is the easiest to combo into. The version, on the other hand, while much slower, is a proper overhead (meaning it has to be blocked standing) that is not only advantageous on block, but also on hit as well - enough that Krohnen can follow up with a close  on hit. If it hits the opponent while they're in a juggle state, then it leads into a hard knockdown, which Krohnen can hit the opponent on the ground with a close (or even a Calamity Overdrive if possible).

The version, like Krohnen's other special moves, is a very solid combo tool. It leads to a ground bounce on hit, which can be followed up with an Heat Shield into whatever you please. Additionally, it also has projectile invincibility, allowing Krohnen to nonchalantly surprise a fireball-happy opponent with a damaging juggle. That, and it's also still plus on block like the version, too.
