This is like...!! (これは、まるで...!!; lit. "This is as if...!!") is K9999's MAX2 in The King of Fighters 2002: Challenge to Ultimate Battle.
  |
Description
K9999 lifts himself high in the air, then flashes the screen white. During this, the opponent is hit multiple times.
Strategy
A very bizarre MAX2, its input requires the move the joystick back and forth 8 times. Though the game states the move must be performed while in midair, the input can be done on the ground; K9999's backdash is considered him being "airborne" by the game, and can be input buffered during the backdash, albeit extremely tricky to pull off.
Although the move does good chip damage and hits full screen, it has very slow startup, and has very bad recovery if blocked. However, it completely nullifies every projectile in the game, which can be useful against zoners or characters with long ranged projectiles.
Trivia
- Like many of K9999's attacks, this move directly comes from Akira. Visually, it is based on when Tetsuo Shima awakens his powers and breaks out of the hospital. The quote used for the name of the attack is taken from one of Kei's lines in the manga, "This is as if...!?".
- This, along with all the other direct Akira references, would be integral in K9999's removal from the series.
- To date, this is the only Super Special Move in the KOF series to not require an attack button input to be activated.
