Talk:Rock Howard/Story

Did Garou: Mark of the Wolves occur differently in The King of Fighters series?
One of Rock's victory quotes against Mature has him saying "You know, I’ve met someone else who used moves like yours before." This is referencing Freeman, a character that he would have only met in Garou. He also mentions Hokutomaru, Tizoc and Marco in his victory quotes (vs. Andy, King of Dinosaurs, and Ryo respectively). Additionally, the canon ending of Garou has Rock leaving with Kain, but he's still living with Terry as of SNK Heroines and KOF All Star (although in the latter's case, Rock's appearances in story stuff is taken before KOF XIV), so the events of Garou in this timeline either had to happen between KOF XIII and XIV, or Rock somehow met all these characters somewhere.
