Bone-crushing Excitement is one of Faust's Overdrive Attacks in Guilty Gear -Strive-, replacing his long-time technique Shigekiteki Zetsumei Ken.
Overview[]
Faust dashes forwards to investigate a clover on the ground, pushing back and knocking the opponent to the ground. After seeing them fall over he brings out a wheelchair and makes a mad dash towards them. When he reaches them the wheelchair's footrests slam into the opponent's shins, causing them to react in immense pain before the screen turns white.
