1.0 Introduction
-------------------------------------------------------
Garou is an awesome game. Really. It baffles me as to why people play games such
as SvC, but they won't even touch Garou, even though almost every SNK fan says
how Garou is such a great game...
Anyway, this is an FAQ outlining the basic strategies for Rock and outlining his
strengths and weaknesses. Why play as Rock?
Strengths
+Good mixup
+Above average speed
+Some of the best supers in the game
+The best brake in the game
Weaknesses
-Hard to deal with excessive pressure (Marco)
-One of the worst T.O.P. attacks in the game
-Lots of the more powerful moves lag like hell
-Can struggle to do major damage at times
______________________________________

1.2 MOTW Engine Info
______________________________________
For convenience (and because I feel that the other FAQs on gamefaqs left
out quite a bit of information on the engine), I've added engine information
to this FAQ, and I'll probably add it to any future MOTW FAQs I write.
*Evasion Attack Low (AB)- This attack is always an overhead and always has
lower body invincibility. Use it for evading low attacks and as the
generic overhead. Super Cancelable and cancelable
*Evasion Attack High (d+AB)- This attack, while not an overhead, comes out
quick and has high priority and has upper body invincibility. Also,
most of them can be canceled directly into a super, a trait most
other moves don't have.
*T.O.P. mode (reaching the orange section of your life bar)- During this
time, your health will slowly regenerate, your attacks do more
damage, and you can do the T.O.P. attack. Rock's is a crossup kick.
*T.O.P. Attack (CD during T.O.P. mode)- An attack that varies
from character to character, usually slow and having long
recovery. However, they all do high guard crush damage.
*Braking moves (press AB at the correct time during your character's brake
move)- This allows you to halt your move in the middle, allowing
you to use a followup. Most of these launch and make it easy to
combo a super. Rock's is his 360 throw
*Just Defend (block JUST before an attack hits you)- If you JD correctly,
then you will not be knocked back as far, you gain life, take no
guard crush damage, and can cancel your guard into an attack.
A very useful skill to master.
*Guard Crush (block too many attacks)- After you block too many attacks,
you will start to flash red, and then if you continue blocking,
you will eventually be guard crushed, which makes you unable to
perform actions for a little bit. T.O.P. attacks are very good
for guard crushing the opponent.
*Counter hits- MOTW counter hits cause one of two things: either a generic
spin animation that always lasts the same number of frames, or it
launches them into the air. If the attack knocks down, you can OTG
them (hit them on the ground) once. This OTG is scaled normally,
so feel free to use a super. Multiple hit moves do not cause
counter hit effects though, unfortunately... only the first hit..

Please note that all damages listed for multi-hit moves are already
scaled, and that all CH's listed for multi-hit moves is for the last
hit of them.
______________________________________
3.1 Normals
______________________________________
---------
Standing
---------
Close A- Rock's fastest normal, it's a quick jab that's good for
interrupting attacks. Like all jabs in MOTW, this thing is your
god.
SF: 7 BFA: +6
Close B- A close knee, fast, cancelable, but it's in between C and A in
speed and priority. For combos C is better, but A is better for
interrupting attacks. So really this isn't used as much as either
of them.
SF: 9 BFA: +2
Close C- Comes out fast, cancelable, and can lead into deadly rave. It's
the basic Close C. Useful of course, despite the frame disadvantage.
SF: 9 BFA: -8
Close D- This is really slow for a close move IMO (you can't even combo it
from anything on non-CH.) I had said in previous revisions of this
guide that it was safe and may even give you frame advantage, but
this is not so. It gives a -6 on block and still starts up slow.
The real strength of this move is that it's an option select move
It's cancelable, has a command overhead followup, and is even super
cancelable (of course that's sort of moot since Deadly Rave's
cancel properties)! Throw out with discretion though,
since it's startup is slow. It's THAT useful to me now IMO.
SF: 14 BFA: -6
Far A- A quick jab. Another poke, not as long-ranged as far B, but less
recovery, more speed, and frame advantage.
SF: 7 BFA: +4
Far B- A short kick. This is a good poke, because it's got the longest range
besides Far D, and it can't be ducked unlike it. Nor does it lag like
Far C does. But still, the jab, though shorter, give frame advantage
for pressure.
SF: 11 BFA: -3
Far C- A hard punch by Rock. Okay speed, and a bit less than Far D, but it
can't be ducked, unlike D. However, this thing also lags a bit more
than Far D. An okay poke, but Far B is better. Less disadvantage than
Close C, oddly enough.
SF: 14 BFA: -6
Far D- A high kick by Rock. Good speed and okay reach for a Far D, as
well as excellent anti-air due to it's angle, but thanks also to
that, it can be ducked by every character (yep, even Grant),
which hurts it a bit since all Far D's have long recovery.
And of course if you whiff it, it's not good.
SF: 15 BFA: -9
---------
Crouching
---------
Crouching A- A quick jab, it's fast and cancelable, but Crouching B is
the same speed, has longer range, hits low, and has more frame
advantage. So this move is kinda moot when you can just do c.B
SF: 8 BFA: +3
Crouching B- A low kick, almost as fast as Crouching A, longer range,
and cancelable. I'm sure everyone knows how to use this move.
The frame advantage on this is too good compared to most other
character's. Definitely worthwhile.
SF: 8 BFA: +5
Crouching C- Rock does an uppercut. It's fast and a nice anti-air, on
top of being cancelable. Its horizontal range is terrible though.
It's also super cancelable, but it's a bit trickier than other
ones since it has poor range and if you do it too early you'll
kara-cancel instead of it connecting.
SF: 9 BFA: -3
Crouching D- Rock does a sweep. Just a generic sweep, except that its
range is a little below average. Counter Hit is bizarro.
it'll do a spin, and not knock down. you can't get anything from
this because of the recovery time of the move though.
SF: 12 BFA: -12
---------
Jumping
---------
Jumping A- Rock elbows downward. Good for interrupting and his throw
since it doesn't knock as far away (pretty hard to buffer tho).
a lot can follow but it's better to use Jumping C for jump-ins.
SF: ?
Jumping B- A sideways kick by Rock. This is Rock's only air to air move
that's good for people above you Oddly enough, this move can
actually chain from a jumping C, adding an extra hit on jump ins.
A lot of things can follow this, and it has a high priority
and decent range. Jumping C is kinda better for jumpins
though, but use this move when you're not jumping in.
SF: ?
Jumping C- This is a downward punch by Rock. It comes out fast, okay
priority, and most everything can follow it. Shine Knuckle and
Deadly Rave most notably. Chains to Jumping B.
SF: ?
Jumping D- A downward kick by Rock This move is slow to come out making
it vulnerable to anti-air, but it makes up for it with its long
hitstun. But everything that can follow jumping D can be done
from a jumping C. It has a fairly long range though. It can
crossup okay as well. But remember, this move is telegraphed
as hell.
SF: ?
______________________________________
3.2 Command Moves/T.O.P. Attack
______________________________________
Overhead Followup- f+D after Close D- This move adds to the versatility
of Rock's close D, and of course is good for mixup between this
and crouching B. Nothing can follow it though, which hurts the
moves overall usefulness.
SF: 26 BFA: -8
Evasion Attack Low- AB- IMO this is Rock's best overhead. It's hard to
see coming, and he doesn't hop during it, so people will
sometimes try to sweep, but you have lower body invincibility,
so they're hit by the overhead. Like all overheads, this is slow.
Can also be kara-canceled into specials or supers.
SF: 25 BFA: +4
Evasion Attack High- d+AB- Rock does an elbow. Very fast, high priority
super cancelable, and good anti-air like all High evade attacks.
Not very comboable.
SF: 13 BFA: -5
T.O.P. Attack- CD during T.O.P. mode- Rock's T.O.P. mode attack is kind
of like Chun-li's crossup kick. Like all T.O.P. attacks, it does
nice guard crush damage, but if you actually guard crush with
this, it's totally unpunishable thanks to the SUPER crappy
recovery. The only advantage to this move is the fact that it
can crossup, giving Rock more mixup. Use sparingly.
SF: 33 BFA: -16
______________________________________
3.3 Specials
______________________________________
Reppu Ken- qcf+A- This is Rock's fireball. It comes out fast enough and
is a pretty good one. That being said though, fireballs in MOTW are
about as useful as they are in 3rd Strike (Actually, even less so).
You should only throw them out occasionally or they'll just
JD>Guard Cancel. Putting it in a combo is fine though.
SF: 16 BFA: -3
Double Reppu Ken- qcf+C- The only difference on this one is that it takes
longer to come out, and it does more damage up close. It does less
as an actual fireball... But you can use it to counter another fireball,
and do more damage in combos.
SF: 17 BFA: 0
Rising Tackle- Charge d,u+A/C- Rock spirals upward shoryuken-like. This move
comes out fast, but if blocked/whiffed, you WILL be punished. As seen
by the frame data, it give you a whopping -25. Yeah, that means you
can eat pretty much any move in the game, even if the person starts
their counterattack late. As such, it's not a good wakeup attack. It's
range is also very poor too, making it useless in most combos. The only
thing it is good for is anti-air, since the only way to airblock is to
JD. Still, not a good move at all. I guess it's kind of useful to
throw out in surprise because I certainly wouldn't expect this move
very often.
A Version- SF: 8 BFA: -25
C Version- SF: 8 BFA: -31
Hard Edge- qcb+A/C- Rock charges forward with his elbow in front. C version
has 2 hits and is way more punishable. A is decent, but use C sparingly.
A version- SF: 15 BFA: -5
C version- SF: 21 BFA: -12
Crack Counter- qcf+B/D- This is a counter. B counters high and medium, D
counters low. JDing is better if you're a master of it, but otherwise
this move is useful for when people start telegraphing moves. You can
also use it to build gauge when your opponent is all the way across the
screen.
B version- SF: ?
D version- SF: ?
Rage Run Dunk- qcb+B- Rock charges forward, hopping up and attacking at the
last moment. This move is one of his overheads, and probably his fastest,
but also most telegraphed one. You can try and play mindgames with it
in pressure strings, training them to block it, then popping in a Rage
Run Shift into something.
SF: 28 BFA: -3
Rage Run Shift- qcb+D- Rock charges forward, but instead of doing the overhead,
he'll cross over to the opponent's side. This move is really easy to stop,
so you should use it after a poke string or something. Rage Run shift
into Shinkuu Nage is useful too.
Shinkuu Nage- 360+C- It's Geese's old throw! Does tons of damage. Can be braked,
and always should be braked. Once braked it can be followed up by P-Power
Shine Knuckle for tons of damage (up to 65 damage!) anywhere, or any other
super besides Deadly Rave if you're in the corner. The problem with this
move is that its startup is slow as hell. I mean, like it's the same speed
as Q's command throw. As such, it can only be used in the most extreme
punishment situations. Or as a surprise Whiff = LOL YOU JUST ATE A SUPER
Yeah, if this move was faster, Rock would be a lot higher up in the
official tiering though considering what you get for the risk.
SF: 14
Rassetsu- Hold AB after braking Shinkuu Nage, then release- The followup to
Shinkuu Nage. You need to time this right for it to hit outside of the
corner. This and Shinkuu Nage together do almost as much as S-power
Raging Storm (more than it in T.O.P. mode). Other followups do more,
but not that much more, and this one is the easiest to connect.
______________________________________
3.4 Supers
______________________________________
Okay, keep in mind that although I say P-power supers are better, you get
more damage off of TWO S-power supers than a single P-power super!
Raging Storm- qcfx2+A/C- This is Geese's old raging storm super, now
used by Rock. He bends over and a flame of energy engulfs him.
it's decent anti-air, but it's the worst of his repertoire of
supers. Of course, that doesn't mean it sucks... all of Rock's
supers are good.
S-Power- This version comes out quicker than P-Power, but on the
other hand suffers GREATLY from a lack of invincibility
frames. A lot of normals can stuff it pretty easily. This
is also your generic OTG super. If one CH's in the corner,
you can follow it up with a second one for nice damage.
Hits: 1 Damage: 33 CH: Floats
SF: ? BFA: -23
P-Power- This version, while slower, has many more invincibility
frames and can be delayed. Not as useful though IMO since it
does less damage than P-Power Shine Knuckle and is less
comboable.
Hits: 4 Damage: 46 CH: N/A
SF: ? BFA: -51
Shine Knuckle- qcfx2+B/D- A straightforward charge that comes out fast.
The S-power is good, but the P-Power is more useful.
S-Power- This version hits as you charge, so it's range is much
shorter than P-power, but still better than Raging Storm's
S-Power horizontal range. It also is not stuffed as easily
as Raging Storm, so it's more applicable, but at different
situations than S-Raging Storm. Also, less frame disadvantage
on block as well. But you'll still be punished pretty bad.
Hits: 5 Damage: 32 CH: Floats
SF: ? BFA: -13
P-Power- Unlike the S-Power version, this one only hits once during
the actual charge (greatly extending its range), then Rock
does an elbow into a Rising Tackle. The opponent doesn't even
need to be grounded for this one, making it the super of
choice for after a Shinkuu Nage brake! Because of the WAY
better range and fast speed, this super is his 2nd most useful.
Also a vacuum super, meaning you can only block it if you
block before the flash. Too good.
Hits: 9 Damage: 47 CH: N/A
SF: vacuum BFA: -15
Deadly Rave Neo (P-Power only)-hcb,f+A, then A,A,B,B,C,C,D,D,qcb+C-
Another one of Geese's old supers. Rock charges at the
opponent and pummels them, finishing off with an energy blast.
This is no doubt Rock's best super. It has excellent range,
speed and range that rivals Shine Knuckle (you have to have a
grounded opponent for this though..), and nice damage. Oh, but
that's not all. It also has canceling properties of a special
move. What this means is whenever you can cancel a normal into
a special, you can get a Deadly Rave Neo. Again, another
vacuum super like P-Shine Knuckle. It's comboability, damage,
and range makes it an excellent super.
Hits: 15 Damage: 59 CH: N/A
SF: vacuum BFA: -2
-------------------------------------------------------
4.0 Strategy
-------------------------------------------------------
Now that you're acquainted with Rock's moves, you should get how to play with
him. He has 4 overheads, 2 low attacks, a command throw, a crossup, and
reversals. Pretty nice mixup, enough to get in a lot of good hits. Use his
mixup well, and set up 360s.
Far D and Crouching C are your mainstays of anti-air. Raging Storm and d+AB are
decent as well.
Shine Knuckle and Deadly Rave Neo are your main supers. Shine Knuckle is fast,
and in P-Power does not need to hit grounded opponents. Deadly Rave Neo's
special cancel properties make it extremely easy to land.
Rock's easy to play as really... just make sure not to be predictable...
______________________________________
4.1 Matchups
______________________________________
For those of you not familiar to what matchups are, a matchup is a ranking
out of 10 of how many games each character would win versus each other if
the players are of an equal skill level based on their character's ability
alone. For example, 5-5 each player has about an equal chance. 6-4 is
advantageous but still winnable for the disadvantaged character, 7-3 is
still winnable, but a LOT harder. 8-2 and 9-1 will probably not be seen,
but that's almost no chance of win for the disadvantaged character. Not
a lot of matchups in ANY GAME are rated 9-1.
So anyway, these are Rock vs. (insert character here), so you can get an
idea what you're going to be up against should you fight someone using
the character.
________________________________________________________________________
Rock Howard vs. Marco Rodriguez (Khushwood Butt)
________________________________________________________________________
Marco is a rushdown whore and this is bad news for Rock. A good Butt
player will pressure the hell out of you with c.B, f+A, braked shoryuken
and j.B. Guessing wrong on any of these can potentially lead to eating a
shin shoryuken. The f+A can be canceled on reaction too. Rock is more
of a poke character or pressure character. Marco's c.B beats his c.B by
a SIGNIFICANT amount of frames and outprioritizes it I believe.
Everything Rock has is too slow to deal with his c.B so you're forced to
block or take risks doing stuff like reversals. But you can't turtle too
long or you'll be guard crushed. If he jumps for his mixup you'll have
an easier time because he can be dealt with via Rock's decent anti-air.
But ground you're going to have a hard time with.
Your goal is not to let him get in. Of course naturally easier said
than done with Butt's fast dash, dash reversal and so on... This is
a bad matchup for Rock.. I'd say like 6-4 in Butt's favor.

5.2 Combos

In all these combos, j.D or j.C are pretty much interchangeable, so I'm just
putting j.C for those ones. Note that if you use j.D though, you won't be able
to follow it up with j.B

______________________________________
5.3 Rock's Shinkuu Nage
______________________________________
_______________________________
Setups
_______________________________
Rock's command throw does gobs of damage just alone and with Rassetsu, plus it's
an unblockable brake. Passing it up is just too good. Unfortunately, it has that
long whiff time as well, and comes out slow. As such, you should use appropriate
setups to minimize the risk of being countered by your opponent, such as a basic
jump-in attack. But make sure you use one that doesn't knock too far away
such as j.D, or it will whiff. So j.A is actually good for this.
Kara canceling his overhead kick evasion attack is another decent one.
Rage Run Shift after some pokes is alright too. Especially if you use the
overhead a lot. C Recovery Roll into 360 is useful as well.
The hardest one would be after the final D hit of Deadly Rave Neo. Deadly Rave
Neo does 29 damage from that part, plus the throw will reset scaling and gives
you another 20, plus a followup. This one actually isn't really worth learning
at all, because it's much easier to just finish the Deadly Rave and it doesn't
do that much more damage anyway.
___________________________________
What can follow the Shinkuu Nage?
___________________________________
Now that you know some decent setups from scrubby ol' me, I'll tell you what
can follow it. The weird thing about the Shinkuu Nage is that it has two arcs
that will occur after launch. I believe it's the range that you throw them at
that affects this... anyway, here's a list of all the good followups with all
the damages, ranked in order from least to greatest.
Short Arc
9- Rassetsu
10- A Hard Edge/Reppuken
16- C Hard Edge/Double Reppuken
29- S-Power Raging Storm
34- P-Power Raging Storm (some hits will whiff unless you time it right)
49- P-Power Shine Knuckle (hits for 41 usually)
Long Arc
9- Rassetsu
49- P-Power Shine Knuckle (usually hits for 41)
Corner
Everything from Short Arc and...
11- A Rising Tackle
13- C Rising Tackle

6.0 Quick Frame Data Chart
______________________________________
What is the point of frame data? Why, it tells you how fast a move is.
Also, if you know the frame advantage/disadvantage, you can know for sure
which moves are completely safe, and which ones aren't. For example, in
one of my revisions of this guide, I put Close D saying that it probably
gave you the advantage on block. However, this is not true, as shown by
the numbers below. It gives a -6.. eep.
The frame advantage on block is how many frames you can move before or
after they move. Vacuum means it has 3 startup frames, and hits immediately
after the flash, making it so you MUST block before the flash.
SF = Startup frames- how many frames until the move can actually hit the
opponent. The number is the earliest possible time it can connect.
BFA = Blocked frame advantage- how many frames you can move before or after
the opponent if the attack is blocked. There are 60 frames in a
second.

6.1 Glitches
______________________________________
All I've got to put in this section right now is one glitch:
Rock T.O.P. Whiff glitch: If your opponent is in the corner and as a T.O.P
attack is about to hit, and they have an active hit frame at the time
(that means they attacked and it's at a point when it can connect), then
his T.O.P. attack will mysteriously whiff.
