Description[]
Rock rushes forward with a glowing yellow fist. The version (Garou)/ version (KOF XV) has him perform an Elbow Spike into a Rising Tackle to finish them off. In KOF XIV, he ends the version with a uppercut followed by an inverted Rising Tackle before ending the move with a Rage Run: Type "Dunk".
Strategy[]
Rock's answer to his adoptive dad's Buster Wolf, this is essentially a much beefier Hard Edge that has projectile invincibility on startup, allowing Rock to cover distance almost instantaneously without the worry of getting hit by a projectile for his troubles.
Beyond that, though, it's also a very useful combo ender, being more reliable than Raging Storm while also boasting much greater horizontal range.
