Heat Drive (ヒートドライブ) is one of K''s Super Special Moves in the King of Fighters series, first appearing alongside him in The King of Fighters '99.
 +  or  ( OK,  OK) |
Description
K' unveils a flame on his gloved-hand, then dashes forward to deliver a flaming punch at a near-blinding speed, enough to pass through his victim and/or emit ring bursts of flame upon rushing forward (and to cover near-full-screen range).
It can also be charged up/delayed where K' continues to prolong holding the flame in his hand in place, though he will eventually release it on his own. Normally damage slightly increases when fully charged/delayed, though some games allow it to be unblockable.
In the Maximum Impact games, K' only blink-rushes a set distance forward with only being covered by a brief flame aura upon punching, and the move instead knocks away via a tumbling knockdown upon connecting.
