Shining Knuckle

Shining Knuckle is one of Rock Howard's Super Special Moves in both the Fatal Fury & King of Fighters series, first appearing in Garou: Mark of the Wolves.

Description
Rock rushes forward with a glowing yellow fist. The version (Garou)/ version (KOF XV) has him perform an Elbow Spike into a Rising Tackle to finish them off. In KOF XIV, he ends the version with a uppercut followed by an abstract version of Andy Bogard's Shouryuu Dan (The style of Fatal Fury 3/KOF '96) before ending the move with a Rage Run: Type "Dunk".

Strategy
Rock's answer to his adoptive dad's Buster Wolf, this is essentially a much beefier Hard Edge that has projectile invincibility on startup, allowing Rock to cover distance almost instantaneously without the worry of getting hit by a projectile for his troubles.

Beyond that, though, it's also a very useful combo ender, being more reliable than Raging Storm while also boasting much greater horizontal range.
