Garou: Mark of the Wolves/Kevin Rian

From SuperCombo Wiki

Introduction

Kevin Rian

>Got his knife removed during development because it created balance issues

>Still Top 1

>Bingo!

Gameplay

TBD

Strengths Weaknesses
  • Insane damage potential
  • Has arguably the best super in the game in Gatling Freezer D
  • The only character with a low-hitting break move
  • Best cr.AB in the game
  • One of the best, if not the best st.A in the game
  • Rotor cancel gives him the fastest meter build in the game and leads to more optimal combos than using feint cancels
  • Infinite corner blockstring that leads to guard crush
  • Higher guard crush gauge than average
  • Doesn't have the best guard cancels without meter (however it is possible for him to guard cancel then rotor cancel into a normal)
  • His most optimal combos and techniques require relatively high execution

Data Help
Disclaimer: This is meant to teach basic terminology used when describing moves.
HitBox: A predefined area (usually a group of rectangles or circles) that tell the game how any given attack can come in contact with a character. Hitboxes are invisible to the player when normally playing.
HurtBox: A predefined area (usually a group of rectangles or circles) that tell the game how your character is allowed to get hit by any incoming attack. Specifically, you'll get hit by (or block) an attack if that attack's hitbox ever overlaps your hurtbox.
Throw Box/Range: Active throw frames and range. Your opponent will be thrown in this field if not in block or hit stun.
Projectile Box: Hit box on a projectile attack.
Guard/Counter Box: The Guard Box or Counter Box. This appears when blocking or using a counter move.
Push Box: Has no bearing on hurt/hit boxes. Just allows characters to not pass through each other. (Also known as "Collision Box".)
Command the input for the attack.
Start Up The number of frames that initiate at the beginning of an attack after the input. And when the first hitbox is present.

The first active frame is after the last startup frame.

Guard The way this move must be blocked.

High or H or Overhead (especially when from the ground) -- must be blocked standing.
High-Low or HL or Mid -- can be blocked either standing or crouching.
Low or L -- must be blocked crouching.

Damage "basic" damage -- unmodified damage values

"correct" damage -- damage values modified for damage scaling, TOP multiplier, and defense rate

Guard Crush Value Decrease your guard durability gauge/meter by that value/s
+ signifies how many advantage frames the attacker has.
- signifies how many disadvantage frames the attacker has.
KD means the attack will knock the opponent down.
circle means cancelable on both hit/block.
infinity means chain cancelable with the same button (renda cancel).
means cancelable on the first hit/part only.
《 》OR « » OR << >> OR ( ) The numbers in the brackets are the startup frames until the next stage (the gap until the next hit's first active frame).
up triangle means only cancelable on block.
down triangle means only cancelable on hit.
× OR X means not cancelable.


Notes:

  • Special/Super moves with "Guard" data in red text are impossible to just defend at 0-pixel health bar.

Kevin has the only 2AB in the game that doesn't expose a hurtbox before being active, which makes it much more reliable. Every other characters has a hurtbox that appears before being active, so if an active hitbox was there (ex: jump ins, delayed normals), they get hit even if the move didn't hit the low part. In this situation the worst case scenario for Kevin is a trade, for everyone else it's a full combo.
