Description
In the realm of fighting games, a chain grab is a tactic where a player performs a series of grabs or throws in quick succession, creating a situation where the opponent finds it difficult, if not impossible, to break free. This technique is often used to maximize damage and control the flow of the match. Chain grabs can be a controversial topic, as they sometimes exploit game mechanics or glitches, leading to debates about their fairness. However, they are also seen as a testament to a player's skill and understanding of their character’s abilities. Mastering chain grabs requires precise timing and a deep knowledge of the game's mechanics, making it a sought-after skill in competitive play.
Examples
- In 'Super Smash Bros. Melee,' the character Sheik can perform a chain grab on certain characters by repeatedly grabbing and throwing them down, then re-grabbing them before they can react.
- In 'Tekken 7,' King has a series of chain grabs known as 'multi-throws,' where he can link several different throws together in a sequence, each one leading into the next, making it hard for opponents to escape.
Additional Information
