Command grabs: Why They're SO STRONG: Potemkin Buster.

[@servebotfrank4082]

I found out about command grabs having higher priority than regular throws last week and honestly it was a damn game changer for me.

[@SaiyanMeditation]

Dude I didn’t know the command grab v throw matchup. Thank you!

[@yoshihuo6911]

Man I love all of your videos Your voice is so calming, the music is always chill and you make things so simple to understand.

[@tylermiller1253]

RathFGC…Thank you for your service to the community.

[@Runslik3Wind]

Thanks. i always see people saying a character is scary because he has a command grab but didnt know why.

[@bustoo]

Good to know for everyone on defense but as Leo his command grab has such a long startup that throws do beat it. And since throws also beat crossup it's pretty hard to use if they arent in the corner.

[@MisterMelvinheimer]

Leo here condition bt.s bt.h parry. Once they see that mashing after the overhead is a huge punish then use the command grab. It also has a lot of success on hard knockdown if they block on wakeup. If they dp you'll die though.

Earlier yesterday I thought of using May's command grab as a answer to people trying to open me up with throws when I found out about it being throw invincible. May doesn't have a lot of good defensive option, so I was happy to come up with it. But you took it to another level! This will greatly increase the already devastating corner pressure May is known for! Others may not, but I thank you. ;)

[@Maxsu_]

Rath always does such an amazing job describing the "ins and outs" of whatever he posts and this is no exception! Super helpful video! I'll definitely need to incorporate more command grabs in the future!

[@bozzyham]

I been trying the Blue RC to Grab/Command Grab and it's so filthy I love it

[@rin-senpai7115]

I wish characters without a command grab could use this unique situation more effectively. I always have to hard-bait the counter-throw because it still beats my buttons even when slowed down and techs my throw. This set-up is really strong when you have a command grab.

[@chillarttalks]

Rath you really have the most compelling "guide" videos. I usually find that guides with footage only in training room aren't that great since there is no actual situation showcased, but you manage to make it interesting nonetheless. Personally, I would still like a direct example from a match ^^ Thanks and keep it up!!

[@hamzafarooq8411]

I'm looking so forward to next months dbfz patch. I absolutely loved your session 3.5 videos

[@joshuapark4329]

Thanks for this vid. Also had a hard time answering wake up throws outside of meaty timing so I learned a lot more than I expected.

[@mckibb_n2868]

Rath once again spreading the good word of blue roman cancel. tyty for the insight.

[@ono446]

Always nice to see rath pop up in the feed

[@sebastianlovenhjelm3100]

Great content man. You should be more popular! I'm so glad I found you :)

[@savageage1177]

im not gonna sit her and say im some math wizard but i was good at it in school and im pretty sure that if the blue RC truly straight up halves the enemy's speed then its not a twice as slow situation its more of a half increase in frames. so the 6 frame jab would now be a 9 frame jab. i could be wrong in the way the slow works maybe it doubles the frame after all in which case yea you're right its now a 12 frame jab but if not and it true the word "halves" their speed then it should result in a 9 frame jab

[@katsurades]

Excellent video man, clear and concise info 👌🏼

[@nuclearcoconut3664]

what im curious about is i thought this game had 5f throw protection on wakeup/out of blockstun, and i assumed that meant i could mash safely against someone trying to throw me on wakeup does throw protection only apply when blocking in this game?

[@_Deez]

It does apply to wake up as well. I'm not really sure if that means you can mash an opponents throw attempt on wake up. I don't mash on wake up for obvious reasons. Back dash or jump if you want to avoid a throw. Command grabs get around that protection a lot easier because they tend to start up in 6+ frames depending on the char. Another thing to keep in mind is that throws beat strikes.

[@SleepyYosh]

Woow as a fighting game newcomer I didn't know command grabs beat regular grabs, I just got into heaven despite constantly getting bitten by Nago players...oh revenge is going to be sweet. Thank you for the great video!

[@eduardoserpa1682]

I look forward to what the game is going to look like in a few months when BRC inevitably plays an even a bigger role in neutral.

[@moradomusic2823]

Drop that Zato combo guide! The streets is waiting lol

[@andremagnolia3586]

Great video, I would love to see a video on perfect block, burst and stuff like that

[@sacayansensei578]

So are most command throws throw invincible from frame 1? I’ve been thrown out of Leo’s command throw but I assume that’s because of the run up.

[@brianclarke9861]

Yeah, the timing on that one is a little weird cuz the full run animation has to finish before Leo does his grab iirc

[@retromec4757]

you made this for me don't lie 😜😏❤️

[@Error-wn5gy]

Hey is that a soundmod? Sounds pretty cool actually

[@SnackCannon]

Rath explaining to new kids how fighting games have always operated... lol

[@darinfeagins6050]

I'm assuming this doesn't work for chipp since his command throw is like 25F startup? Is he throw invulnerable that whole time?

[@bozzyham]

Give Blue RCs to Vegeta Blue ❤️

[@elaeyne]

i'm not first but great video Rath :)

[@thegamingkeyblade7066]

Give ky a command grab

[@eh4372]

Commands are strong unless you play on PS4 controller, I swear that right down right movement on controller is to fidlly to be consistent. I don’t normally struggle with inputs but this one is awkward.

[@infinite_azure_]

Try double tapping forward, then quickly tapping down once, then press forward plus slash at the same time :)

[@eh4372]

@@infinite_azure_ sounds more awkward then the initial problem lol

[@infinite_azure_]

@@eh4372 just try it, it's 100% more consistent than doing forward down forward

[@sweetshoez]

Can you explain why the defender command grab beats the offender command grab after BRC? I get that it’s slowed down I’m not sure where invincibility is coming into play

[@nuclearcoconut3664]

he mentioned earlier in the video that command grabs cant be thrown on startup since the command grab is made slower by the brc, the startup lasts longer, and therefore the throw invincibility lasts longer

[@feniks6000]

what is a meterless reversal?

[@brysonelliott6843]

Haha command grab go brrr

[@srseki]

9:15 If he holds up back, he can tech air throw and block any anti-air. Strive back jump is insanely cheap, the character can block immediately after pre-jump frames.

[@kimberlymyrick7666]

Nope the grabs alone made me stop playing

[@kimberlymyrick7666]

This game made me realize that fighting games aren't for me.
