Gen'ei Kyaku

Gen'ei Kyaku (幻影（げんえい）脚（きゃく）, "Phantom Leg") is one of Robert Garcia's Special Moves in both the Art of Fighting & The King of Fighters series. It is a variant of Zanretsuken, one of the signature moves of the Kyokugen Style.

Input

KOF '94-KOF '95	+ or
KOF '98 onwards	+ or ( OK)

Description

Robert performs a powerful barrage of kicks solely from the leading foot by itself, gradually lifting the foe higher with each series of kicks until performing a finisher kick (to either launch them away or slam them down).

Strategy

The kick variant of Zanretsuken. As it is an autohitting attack, only one hit is needed for the entire move to connect. It can serve somewhat as an anti-air and anti-jump-in. However, it has a large recovery time, leaving a large window of vulnerability if it fails in hitting, especially with projectiles. In all of the games that Gen'ei appears in, this is Robert's highest damage combo ender for juggles. The version has anywhere juggle, meaning it can combo even after air resets.
