Striker Moves

Joe comes in performing his Explosion Punch, the Real Bout version in KOF 98 with not much lag. At first glance this seems very weak because it has nearly no range. But, if you are able to hit the opponent, Joe will continue to punch the opponent, giving you opportunities for free hits. He will finish with an 'uppercut'.
