Dead Mount Press

Dead Mount Press is one of Omega Rugal's Super Special Moves in the King of Fighters series.

Description
Omega Rugal emanates a red aura and strides forward menacingly. If he catches up to an opponent, he lifts them up by the neck, stabs his other energy-laced hand into them, and lets them fall. He concludes by stomping on his downed opponent with both feet, resulting in an explosion that deals massive damage.

Strategy
Dead Mount Press only appears in Boss Challenge Mode and can only be used by the CPU. Because of this, this Strategy is more about avoiding this move.

If you're even remotely close, he will grab you and deal around 60% damage; almost guarantee you'll lose a character. Not only this, while he’s in this state he's covered in a red aura that can reflects projectiles, so you can't zone him out. Rolling behind him or using Shatter Strike aren't options either; you'll be grabbed instantly.

Omega Rugal cannot be interrupted by normal means while in state. DO NOT -and I repeat- DO NOT use most Climax Super Special Moves against Dead Mount Press. It has extremely high amount of hyper armor, and you'll most likely get grabbed immediately before your attack can even come out. There are few moves that can dodge Dead Mount Press; Shermie's Shermie Exposition, Chris's Onslaught Mirage, King's Surprise Rose, Blue Mary's M. Dynamite Swing, Whip's Depravity Branding "Code: FA", Kukri's Goku Nessa Housairyu, B. Jenet's Aurora and Ryuji Yamazaki's Guillotine can completely avoid Dead Mount Press either by going over or through Omega Rugal. Heidern's Gae Bolg, Ramón's Hyper Sonic Ramón, King of Dinosaurs' Super Zetsumetsu Hurricane, and even Omega Rugal's own Dread Fatal Wave can completely negate this (how fitting for Heidern!).

Dead Mount Press can only be out for four in-game seconds. Omega Rugal moves pretty slow during this move, so your best bet is to slowly walk back too. If you're in a corner when Dead Mount Press is out, either attempt to jump over it or get K.O'd if at less than half health.
