The King of Fighters XV

OverviewStrategyDataCombosReplays

Though he’s the son of the fearsome Geese Howard, this young fighter with a complicated past was raised by Terry Bogard. A virtual prodigy when it comes to fighting, Rock has learned to utilize fighting styles passed down from both his father and stepfather. B. JENET convinces him to join Team GAROU this KOF.

Gameplay Overview

Rock Howard is an all-rounder with not only a variety of tools suited for most situations, but great reward off from his confirms even without meter.
Pros Cons
  • Jack of All Trades: Rock has an option for almost every situation. He has great anti-air options, solid confirms thanks to 6A, great space control with Reppuken and Hard Edge, and tons of great punish options in Rage Run and Crack Counter.
  • Air Control: Rock's air normals are very strong and cover wide ranges.
  • Fantastic Damage Output: Rock's damage output is fantastic both with and without meter.
  • Multiple Mix-ups: A 21 frame overhead and a command grab make Rock surprisingly scary to defend against in the corner. His command grab even allows for combos afterward.
  • Install: Deady Rave EXT causes Rock to gain OTG properties on many of his moves, which allows him to combo his supers together for massive damage. This alone makes him a deadly anchor.
  • Bad Crossups: Rock's crossup options in his jumping normals are medicore, which can make it difficult to open people up off of a jump-in.
  • Slow Mix-ups: While he has multiple mix-up options, such as his overheads and command grab, they are slower than average. If you are looking for a character with hard to beat mix-ups, you should look elsewhere.
  • Slow Blowback


Rock Howard, the protagonist of Garou: Mark of the Wolves, the biological son of Geese Howard and later the adoptive son of the Hungry Wolf himself, Terry Bogard, is a very well-rounded character that has just about all you need. He has a great projectile to zone with in Reppuken (236P), multiple anti-air options (i.e., 2C and Rising Tackle), an approach tool that covers distance in Hard Edge (214P), a very solid command grab in Shinkuu Nage (632146P), and normals with good range that make for excellent pokes, especially f.B and f.C.

Compared to his prior outing in KOF XIV, Rock has seen some tremendous gains that make him an even better character than he already was before. Notably, Rising Tackle, which was formerly a charge input ([2]~8P) is now a motion input (623P) that can be used at any given time. Pair this with the ability to break the move in the middle of the animation (623C~AB) - something which his teammates (B.Jenet and Gato) also carry over from Garou - and Rock's combo game is as flexible as it is damaging. Another key change is in his f.B - notably, the fact 6A can now chain into it, further increasing his meterless combo potential off of his light confirms. And finally, he has gained a brand-new move in the returning Overhead Kick (623K), formerly his T.O.P. attack. This move is different than how it was in Garou, notably the EX version caused a ground bound, which his EX Rage Run: Type Dunk (214BD) - itself having seen an overhaul for this installment - did previously.

Speaking of which, Rage Run has been overhauled for this installment. Whereas before, all he got was either a dunk (214B) or a side switch (214D), now he has multiple options out of his command run. New options include the ability to stop the run (214K~A), go straight into his Hard Edge (214K~C), or go straight into his Overhead Kick (214K~6K). Pair this with the prior options, and Rock's approach game is much more varied than it was previously.

Rock is also one of the lucky few characters in KOF XV to have more than two special cancelable far standing normals. f.A, f.B (which was already special cancelable in XIV), and f.C are all special cancelable and cover a decent amount of range, especially with the latter. This allows Rock to punish the opponent at a considerable range in addition to getting solid damage off of a relatively quick poke, especially if he has meter to spare.

Unfortunately, though, Rock isn't without his weaknesses. The biggest one is that - like any jack of all trades - he doesn't excel at any particular field. Furthermore, he also lacks good cross-ups, which hurts his mix-ups quite a bit. Some of his basic tools - such as his Blowback and Command Grab - are also slower than average, making him prone to counter hits on a hard read. Overall, though, Rock is a very versatile, reliable, quick, and damaging character that can work in almost any position. Without meter, he can do plenty of damage thanks in part to Rising Tackle's Break and the ability to chain his f.B into 6A. With meter, however, Rock can rack up the damage very quickly and gain meter back as quickly as he uses it.

  • Primary keep away tool, a grounded fireball that cannot be low profiled.
  • Has three versions with different properties:
    • A version travels the slowest and is the most advantageous on block/hit.
      • Useful as an okizeme tool in many situations.
    • C version travels faster than the A version but is less advantageous on block/hit.
    • EX has two hits. The first is a smaller hitbox in front of Rock. The second is a very fast fireball that beats other meterless fireballs and trades with most other EX fireballs.
      • Due to its speed it is always safe on block but generally less advantageous than the A version.
      • Knocks down standing characters and juggles airborne characters.
  • Neo Deadly Rave EXT grants additional properties to the A and C versions when landed:
    • A and C versions do additional damage and can OTG.

  • Grounded lariat, useful as a combo, confirm, and neutral tool.
  • Has three versions, with different properties:
    • A version travels about half of the screen, has a single hit, and can be fairly safe on block from range.
      • Primarily used as a confirm tool and random neutral option.
    • C version travels about two-thirds of the screen, has two hits, and is very unsafe on block no matter the spacing.
      • Primarily used as a combo tool as it grants hard knockdown.
    • AC version travels about three-quarters of the screen, has two hits, and is very unsafe on block no matter the spacing.
      • Crumples opponents on grounded hit.
      • Invulnerable to lows for most, if not all, of its startup.
      • Primarily used as a combo extender, hit confirm tool, and to call out grounded fireballs.
  • Neo Deadly Rave EXT grants additional properties to the A and C versions when landed:
    • A Install version does additional damage.
    • C Install version gains a third hit, dealing additional damage and becoming much safer on block. It also hard knocks down and allows a guaranteed OTG followup.

  • Rising Uppercut, useful as a defensive option, anti-air, and combo extender.
  • Has three versions with different properties:
    • A version is fully invulnerable from frame 1 and is tied for the fastest meterless reversal in the game.
      • Moves forward slightly meaning it can whiff if an opponent jumps at close range.
      • Primarily used as a wakeup option and as an anti-air.
    • C version has no invulnerability but is a key part of Rock's combos.
      • Inputting AB after the C version turns it into a single hit launcher that can link into other specials.
    • EX version is fully invulnerable from frame 1 and is tied for the fastest metered reversal in the game.
      • Moves far forward meaning it can be used more effectively in pressure but can whiff on an opponent jumping at close range.
      • Primarily used as a wakeup option and as an anti-air, only a frame faster than the A version but does a good amount more damage.

  • Can be used to escape the corner on some occasions, though it doesn't recover fast enough to save Rock from eating a punish for his troubles.
  • If timed right, it can dodge projectiles and end up behind the opponent, especially in neutral range. Heavily match-up dependant and situational otherwise, though.

  • Rock, like his father, tosses the opponent behind him and strikes a pose. Leads to a Hard Knockdown.
  • As with Heavy Rising Tackle, this can be broken with 632146P~AB, guaranteeing a Hard Edge at mid-screen and an EX Overhead Kick in the (left) corner.
  • EX version leads to a wall bounce on hit for more damage and better combo routes. EX version also has some invulnerability and will beat GCCD attempts.
  • Install versions deal more damage with a hard knockdown Rasetsu with a guaranteed OTG follow up with C Reppuken.
  • Normal versions can only combo from or lights or lights > 6A. EX version has longer range and can combo from c.C/D > 6A with a tricky late cancelled 6A. However, it is generally not worth using in an EX combo over EX Hard Edge or EX Overhead Kick because it applies a heavy 30% scaling penalty.
