Description

The user swoops down to the ground. In older games, the user performs a diving elbow attack. As of KOF XIV however, the user instead tucks into a ball and rolls down vertically.

Between FF3 and KOF 2002 UM, the user is able to follow-up with the attacks below:

Attack	Description
Shimo Agito (下（しも）顎（あぎと）; Lower Jaw)	The user jabs their opponent's legs; in the case of Mai, she does it with her fan.
Uwa Agito (上（うわ）顎（あぎと）; Upper Jaw)	The user does a jumping axe kick.

"Surprise the opponent with an acrobatic leap. Useful for when you're in the mood for an ambush. Can follow up in various ways."

—Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, Shin Gen'ei Shiranui

In COTW, Andy gains an updated version known as Shin Gen'ei Shiranui (真（しん）・幻影（げんえい）不知火（しらぬい）; True: Phantom Sea-Fire), where Andy leaps up into the air, kicking up dust. The version makes him turn invisible and gives him the longest jump-arc.

He can also follow-up with the attacks below:

Attack	Description
Shira Ame (白雨（しらあめ）; White Rain)	"Follow-up technique performed via additional input during [Shin Gen'ei Shiranui]. Deliver a punishing axe kick." —Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves Andy swings his front leg down, axe-kicking his opponent overhead.
Kuro Ame (黒雨（くろあめ）; Black Rain)	"Follow-up technique performed via additional input during [Shin Gen'ei Shiranui]. Slice through the air with a fierce downward chop." —Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves Andy turns around and swings his rear arm down for an overhand chop. The version makes Andy teleport behind the opponent with a puff of smoke before performing the attack.
Shibuki (飛沫（しぶき）; Splash)	"Follow-up technique performed via additional input during [Shin Gen'ei Shiranui]. Aim with a low sliding kick." —Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves Andy drops to the floor after the jump, then slides forwards with a low profile to kick his opponent with his outstretched rear leg.
Shin Kumo Garami (真（しん）・蜘蛛（くも）絡（がら）み; True: Spider Entanglement)	"Follow-up technique performed via additional input during [Shin Gen'ei Shiranui]. Trap the opponent in a headlock and wrench back. A useful way to break through the opponent's defenses." —Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves Andy latches onto his opponent from behind with a sleeper hold, breaking their neck before flipping back out of the way.
