Description

"Rocket forward with a roundhouse kick. Handy when you want to rush in and dish out the pain. You can brake while traveling."
—Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves

Joe spins around, then launches himself forward for a side kick, generally using his front leg. In some appearances, Joe's foot is shrouded with orange/gold energy, akin to Tiger Kick.

The EX OK version is the fastest, hits the opponent 3 times and causes a hard knockdown.

In COTW, both the Neo Geo D Button & EX OK versions make Joe automatically follow-up with a second roundhouse kick using his front leg. Additionally, all versions can be broken by inputting Neo Geo A ButtonNeo Geo B Button or COTW REV Guard Icon while moving forward.
