Description
Rock dashes towards his opponent, elbow first. The 
(or 
in CVS2) has Rock follow it up with a ki-enhanced palm thrust.
Strategy
Mixed into combos, Hard Edge provides a way for Rock to reliably knockdown a foe, or at least maintain contact with the enemy. The light version however doesn't knock down as reliably as the heavier versions, which sometimes have a notable startup time that may not allow him to chain into. The stronger the attack however, the risky it becomes on block.
The EX version allows him to use Hard Edge as a frametrap, as well as being fast as the light version in terms of movement and recovery.
