Raikou Mawashi Geri (雷光回らいこうまわ; Lightning Roundhouse Kick) is one of Geese Howard's Command Moves in both the Fatal Fury and The King of Fighters series, first appearing in Fatal Fury 3: Road to the Final Victory.

This move can also be done in midair in most of Geese's 2D KOF appearances as his midair Blow Back attack (jumping ).

Description[]

Geese swings his following leg for a forwards back spin kick while somewhat hopping in unison.

Originally in the Fatal Fury games, this pushed the victim to the background lane on hit.

In the KOF games however, it first appeared as Geese's jumping Blow Back before being repurposed in later games. Certain games, especially the Capcom vs. SNK series and Neo Geo Battle Coliseum have it as his far standing heavy kick normal instead.

Very few times as a command normal in games that base him off of his KOF incarnation, this move can hit overhead standalone unless chain-cancelled into.

Trivia[]

  • In some games, this kick is often the second-to-last blow used in his Deadly Rave.
  • In Tekken 7, this move hits instead at a high-enough attack-height level, allowing it to be ducked under easily unlike its 2D appearances.
