The trailer above showcases Rock's key fighting styles and depicts how efficient he is in versus fights. Avid fans of The King of Fighters spin-off Fatal Fury series knows that Rock Howard started kicking butt from the last chapter of that franchise, Garou: Mark of The Wolves which came out in 1999 and now is joining the action with the other fighters of KOF XIV. His mixed fighting style adapted from his crime lord father Geese Howard and mentor Terry Bogard evolved into a unique way of combat.

Both Terry and Geese’s styles of combat heavily reflects on moves Rock frequently uses against his opponents. Geese’s iconic move Raging Storm and Terry’s attack Crack Shoot has influenced his counter and reversal methods. As a result, Rock became a great next-generation of fighter representing both past and present in Garou: MOTW and KOF XIV. However, he prioritized simple and direct style adapted from his mentor for speed while discounting dominating manner of his father.

Although Rock Howard was a bit frail figure compared to his other fellow brawlers in his debut on Garou, his newest rendition has removed that flaw and developers were very careful about character transitions from previous game to KOF XIV. This distinctive way for him truly stands out aside with his very own combat techniques. As he is joining the roster as the fourth fighter joining KOF XIV, the trailer does not give us any release date on Rock's character DLC.
