Crack Counter

Crack Counter is one of Rock Howard's Special Moves in both the Fatal Fury and The King of Fighters series, first appearing in Garou: Mark of the Wolves.

Description
Rock strikes a pose where he holds out his leading arm in various ways. If he is hit during this pose, he'll counter with a quick forward-flipping heel drop on the attacker.

This move is a combination two things: the counter-based akidou arts of Rock's father Geese, and the namesake plus the heel drop being fully themed after Terry Bogard's Crack Shoot.

Each version has different properties.

Only in the Maximum Impact games, it can be followed-up with the Vaulting, where Rock after the heel drop, goes right into a handstand-based backflip to launch the victim back up from the ground and is done by pressing during any successful counter.

However, in both XIV and XV, Rock's EX-version Crack Counters automatically go into the Vaulting followup on their own.
