Ankoku Raikouken

Ankoku Raikouken (AНКОКУ РАИКОУКЭН (暗黒雷光拳（あんこくらいこうけん）); lit. "Shade-Black Lightning Fist"), is one of Orochi Shermie's Super Special Moves in The King of Fighters series, first appearing with her in The King of Fighters '97.

Description

Shermie draws her hand back as a lightning bolt strikes it, then does a straight jab surrounded by a pulsating orb of blue or purple electricity.

The version originally has extra orbs emanate from her jab for extra range while also having orange-colored lightning, while as of XV instead has two afterimages accompanying her.

Strategy

The antithesis of Benimaru's signature Raikouken. Like its original counterpart, Ankoku Raikouken acts as a frametrap that can hit out most enemies as well as nullifying projectiles. However, it is unsafe on block most of the time and leaves Shermie open when blocked, whiffed or missed.

It also lacks the anti-air version Benimaru has.
