Rock Howard

Biography:

Rock Howard is a warm and friendly young man, the biological son of Geese Howard and later the adoptive son of Terry Bogard. He also tends to be very uncomfortable and nervous around women, having been raised by men nearly all of his life.

Fighting style:

Rock's fighting style combines Boxing, Karate, Kung Fu, Kickboxing and Street Fighting taught him by Terry and Daito-ryu Aiki-jujutsu obtained from Geese. Rock has an option for almost every situation. He has great anti-air options, great space control with Reppuken and Hard Edge, and tons of great punish options in Rage Run and Crack Counter. He also has the Raging Storm that sends energy to an entire area, the Shinkunage throw and the Deadly Rave. Like his father, he too has a mythology demon-based attack, known as the Rasetsu (the Japanese name for Rakshasa). A Quick Max-cancellable overhead and a Command grab make Rock scary to defend against in the corner. His Command grab even allows for combos afterward. Of course Rock has some weaknesses such as Bad Crossups and Slow Mix-ups but overall he is a very versatile and damaging character.
