Blocking and having his attacks Evaded builds Crowd Excitement, and with more than 1 his Special 1 is Unblockable on top of being impossible to Evade.
Background
Oh, hey there, my name is Korg. As you can see.
. . I am made of rocks. Perishable rocks, though, so don't put me into fights thinking I am invincible, unless my opponent is made of scissors.
Ha! . . . Anyway, Miek is here too and wants to help, so instead of blocking with my rock arms, I let Miek taste some of the action!
After all, that's what friends are for!

Crowd Excitement
PassiveThe crowd goes crazy when Miek makes an appearance while Korg is blocking an attack, increasing Crowd Excitement by 1 for 20 seconds. +2 on Well Timed Blocks. Only 6 Crowd Excitement charges can be gained through this ability. The crowd dislikes cowards, cheering for Korg when opponents Evade or Dexterity his Basic Attacks, increasing Crowd Excitement by 3 for 20 seconds. Only 12 Crowd Excitement charges can be gained through this ability. When Crowd Excitement reaches 6 or more, Korg becomes Unstoppable and Unblockable for 2 seconds. Dev Notes: Korg is going to be a great counter to opponents who Evade, like Spider-Man and Quake, as well as opponents who rely on Dexterity to activate their abilities like Spider-Man (Stark Enhanced). Miek expels fluids on opponents when hitting with a Heavy Attack, creeping out the crowd and consuming all Crowd Excitement to inflict Armor Break, reducing their Armor Rating by 1027.47 for each Crowd Excitement charge for 8 seconds.
