Description[]
The user swipes an arm towards the ground, stretching it like a vine. On a successful hit, they grab their foe's feet and rapidly retracts their arm to normal length while turning around, flinging the hapless victim far behind them.
In KOF 2000, Vice and Mature striker attacks involve jumping with a blowback attack and then perform a Deicide. This move, at difference from the previous versions, flings the enemies upwards allowing the main character to juggle the opponent in the air. This property was added on Mature's version of Deicide in KOF 2002 UM exclusively.
From KOF XIII onwards, Vice is the sole user of this move, but with a new property, which, instead of throwing the opponent away, she pull them near her, open for a special move followup. Her version allows to follow up combos with normal attacks, making an excellent combo tool for her. Also, she gains an anywhere grab property, including enemies recovering on air from a normal antiair move or blowback attacks without counter hit properties.
In CVS2 - and later in KOF XV, Vice gains an anti-air version called Deicide Slayer (ディーサイド・スレイヤー) (CVS2)/Deicide・Avatar (ディーサイド・アヴァター) (XV). This version has Vice swinging her arm upwards, stretching it like a vine. On a successful hit, she grabs her foe's feet in the air and rapidly retracts her arm to normal length slamming the hapless victim on the ground in front of her. In XV, her and versions will make the character bounce on the ground, opening for more combo followups.
