Description[]
The user runs/slides toward their opponent with his rear hand open. If they get close enough, he slams them back-first into the front wall. This functions as a blockable hit-grab.
Unlike Rugal's variant, G. Drucken does not travel the entire stage - only to the reaches towards the screen's current edge.
Strategy[]
In KOF '94 and '95, Rugal jumps back immediately if the attack is blocked, which puts him out of reach of retaliation. Normal versions of Rugal and later versions of Omega Rugal do not have this extra motion as they merely stick their hand out forward in place when blocked, allowing it to be punished. Rugal will also only leap backwards upon the attack properly finishing.
