Bone-crushing Excitement
![Ggxxacpr Steam Sol.png](/images/a/ac/Ggxxacpr_Steam_Sol.png)
Bone-crushing Excitement is one of Faust's Overdrive Attacks in Guilty Gear -Strive-, replacing his long-time technique Stimulating Fists of Annihilation.
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.
