Kai vs. Ki vs. Kiai
According to Hidy Ochiai (Balckbelt Hall of Fame)
"The Ki of ki-ai is a Japanese word that that describes such things as spirit, mind, heart, mood, care, air, and atmosphere; in terms of the martial arts ki specifically connotes a certain invisible quality that harmonizes mind and body for the maximum effectiveness of the techniques. The ai of ki-ai denotes the meaning and coordinating of the timing. Thus, the focus and power of the techniques are enhanced by the usage of ki-ai."
So I guess Kai is sort of the same as "Kiai".
In the game, you smack for max damage!
