Once your opponent is locked in a grappled state, you’ve got them right
where you want them. Use the following commands to dish out the
punishment or set them up for something even worse:
groggy graPPles
There’s nothing better than catching an opponent when
the lights are on but nobody’s home. To perform a groggy
grapple, approach an opponent from the front or behind
while they’re in a groggy state, tap
≈
and push the left stick
in any direction to execute a strong grapple attack.
To make an opponent groggy, land all four strikes in a strike
combination, lift up a downed opponent and reverse attacks
from a heavily damaged opponent. The Limb Targeting System (
∂
) can also be utilized
(read up on the all-new Limb Targeting System below).

the ropes for the second time, he regains control and can use running attacks against you.
