Arc Kick

Arc Kick is one of Rock Howard's Command Moves in The King of Fighters series, first appearing in Garou: Mark of the Wolves.

This was originally Rock's Low-Evade Attack.

Description
Rock turns for a single forward axe kick on his foe, hitting overhead.

Originally was used as his Low-Evade move and was even named as such in Neo Geo Battle Coliseum (Low-Level Evade Attack).

Strategy
A staple overhead attack for Rock since Capcom vs. SNK 2, this is a quick attack that can catch opponents off-guard, but mainly as an meaty attack in its first command move appearance.

As of the The King of Fighters XIV it regains the ability to crush lows once more while also being somewhat sped up. It only loses its overhead property when chained-into, but is otherwise cancel-able to make for some strong blockstring extenders or as a combo tool.

Also as of XIV, it has the unique property of being able to be empty/kara-cancelled before the attack hits, but only for Shinkuu Nage.
