Jiraishin (地雷震じらいしん; "Land-mine Shiver"), is one of Goro Daimon's Special Moves in The King of Fighters series.

Input
All appearances Z Input + Neo Geo A Button or Neo Geo C Button (EX OK OK)

Description[]

Daimon slaps the ground, creating a tremor. Starting with The King of Fighters '95, the Neo Geo C Button version becomes a fake-out.

Strategy[]

Daimon's ground pound. Jiraishin can only hit if your opponent is standing on the ground, meaning will miss if your opponent is in the air. It can also be evade if the opponent is crouching. If successfully hit, it causes a soft knockdown.

The Neo Geo C Button version is a feint, meaning it doesn't do any damage. This version is used to fake people out to become less wary of Jiraishin. Typically used for mind games.

The EX OK version causes a juggle state on standing grounded opponents. Like the Neo Geo A Button version, it does not hit aerial or crouching opponents, but has faster startup than the Neo Geo A Button version.

Trivia[]

  • In every game in the Orochi Saga, if Jiraishin is used, all standby Team Members will also fall. If a standby Team Member is either Kyo Kusanagi or Benimaru Nikaido, they will jump when Jiraishin is used, completely avoiding its attack.
