Great Khan doing a Samoan Drop despite her not being either of 2 qualifications of The Hawk.

The Samoan Drop is a standard attack of Great Khan's moveset.

Description[]

Great Khan despite her size grabs her opponent by their waist and proceeds to throw them into the air. She then proceeds to "catch" them on her shoulders but then drop backwards while her opponent is on her shoulders in a fireman's carry position dropping her opponent on her back with the added weight of Great Khan's upper body landing on the midsection consecutively. This attack does "body" damage and adds no Humiliation.

Becky's Waist size working against her and allowing her to be lifted by Great Khan.

This attack is done as a grapple while Great Khan's opponent is running towards her. It is a great attack to utilize against fragile Roses such as Becky as Becky actually gives her around 1/4th meter when the fillment rate is set to high. It also works well against said frailer Roses as this attack as well as her above average of kickout difficulty Killer Move as both damage the body area.

Against the tankier Roses it is more recommended to humiliate them with Great Khan's other attacks. Wearing them down with the Samoan Drop/Killer combination will let them kick out often. Though this attack could help with getting the meter to utilize her Humiliation attack in the first place.

Origin[]

Becky happy Rumble Roses doesn't feature heavy competitors (normally).

The Samoan Drop is a wrestling attack. It is commonly used by Samoans due to the name and tradition associated with the attack (hence it's name) and heavier set wrestlers, usually male. Rumble Roses features thinner asthetically pleasing females for the most part thus the Roses do not have the general body shape requirements that adds impact to the attack. The Rumble Roses version also adds a bit of superficial qualities as Great Khan being it's user would realistically lower it's impact and is made even more comical as Great Khan will lift her usually taller opponent into the air by grabbing their waist. In real life actual Samoan and heavy wrestler Umaga actually did this on smaller wrestlers he had the size and girth to realistically and practically perform the action. The Roses tend to be on the lighter side with smaller waist so the action is made somewhat more believable as Aigle/Khan is the series's pint sized powerhouse but the attack looks a lot less believable in the guest characters and robots and they would have more natural weight/mass compared to the Roses. When battling Sebastian and the bear as Great Khan is modeled as grabbing a female by her waist due to the naturally larger area of the two it looks like Great Khan is putting her hands inside of them further ruining the image.
