Description

"Fire a blast of energy straight ahead. Lets you damage the opponent from a distance."

—Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves

Hotaru fires off a blue projectile from her rear palm.

The version travels slowly, while the version travels faster.

Strategy

MOTW

Hakki Shou is a pretty good projectile. Its startup is good and the speed is not bad either. The version has more damage so that version for combos. Just don't throw it from full screen, that's a free Just Defend for your opponent. If you feel like your opponent will jump and punish you, her forward feint that does the same motion as her fireball startup, and can mess with her opponent's reflexes.
