It's still so crazy to me that Tekken characters almost always have over 100 moves. On a more on-topic note: I've always found Bullet from Blazblue super interesting as she's a grappler who combos you, but dashing on a Dualsense joystick in Centralfiction is so clunky that I never bothered to get into the game. (and D-pad makes special inputs a lot harder so I opt not to use that usually)

[@keithlee1007]

@@owencmyk dude...tager sounds perfect for you

[@owencmyk]

@@keithlee1007 I tried tager, but I prefer faster paced combo heavy characters. It's not really that I don't want to dash, more that I want to dash but don't like the input

[@slorty4494]

Grappler main here, we're actually really stupid. You should always press buttons on wakeup against grapplers. We won't punish you.

[@typhoonbh]

Never beating the glue allegations

[@aymanalcahosge7859]

I do main Potemkin in strive and tbh i love it when people say i am a glue eater, the image of a guy putting many hours in just labbing losing to a guy who eats glue sounds very funny to me, and i think that this is what other grapplers think as well, i am noticing that the nick name "glue eater" is mostly used by the grappler them selfs, but i am a guy who dose not step a foot in twitter so who knows maybe i am wrong

[@typhoonbh]

True

[@justyeet2775]

Not only grappler players, people I play with also get on the joke and call me a glue eater because its funny

[@m4yr4i]

Grapplers mains calling themselves Glue Eaters is a very Grappler main thing to do

[@SadToffee]

I like the glitter elmers cuz it's spicy

[@ardidsonriente2223]

Gappler invest 3\4 of the match patiently advancing to get where I am while masterfully defending to not die , then outbrains me two times in a row so I make a mistake huge enough to connect the high execution grapple when I have 45% more life than him, and kills me with less than 5% of their life. Rushdown just neutral skips then press buttons with plus frames without pause until one randomly pierces, force me into the corner and kills me without ever taking any risk or leaving the flowchart. Shoto does the same as the gorilla, just with more fireballs and invuln defending every time. Grapplers NO DOUBT need more brain to just exist. Winning agdinst a good grappler is a true badge of honor. Losing against a good grapler is an incredible fun ride. I don't play grapplers, but for sure love fighting them.

[@typhoonbh]

Well said

[@josh0884]

I don't like grapplers, *I FEAR THEM* As a guy who, for some reason, always chooses the character with low health/low defense, I really fear them, they are always watching you, getting close to you, then, all of a sudden, you lose 35%-70% from a command grab :(

[@daniberriro]

Crazy how Zangief didn't appeared on the video.

[@HELLRAISER02]

Hey uh makoto got 7th, she a grappler :) I love grapplers solely cuz BIG SLAMS, and making people scared as hell and kill them for blocking :) Also dont forget armor king, the rare footsies armor king, or ice climbers, the only puppeteer grappler i know of

[@typhoonbh]

True, although I’ve seen some people argue otherwise

[@ultracrazed2215]

I fully understand why people hate grapplers, but after you mindgame someone into jumping on wake-up and you hard read it with an anti-air throw for the first time, how do you NOT get hooked on the archetype?

[@rob0893]

King player here, and the happiest a man can be is watching someone break down when they realize how much damage the RDC or King's Bridge is. The slow realization that they lost half of their life because they called tails.

[@Jjnq5]

brother we KNOW you're a grappler main, it shows until you pick up Guile

[@ReneGade405]

As a aba player I kinda get it working around such limitations to get a sweet reward is so satisfying and you feel like a genius when things go your way

[@remuvs]

I wouldn’t necessarily say a grappler becomes more intelligent because they passed an execution barrier with Kara Cancels. I play Sol, by all means I am still a complete dunce despite knowing how to 6S Kara and tK H-VV for big Sol bombos. Execution just comes down to practice

[@henrybitencourt]

Small correction here: there are no such things as "grapplers" in platform fighters the closest we get is heavy weights and the fast "grapplers" are bait and punish is due to the fact that every characters in each game Has the amazing grab game so If we apply that then all characters in all platfrom fighters would be grapplers Edit: also tezca is more rushdown focused

[@gfxb3177]

@@henrybitencourt we have donkey kong in melee

[@henrybitencourt]

@@gfxb3177 we have Fox shiek marth Falco Falcon basically everyone including the unviable garbage such as ness Zelda bowser and Kirby grabs is super important in their punish and neutral game tho you're right donkey Kong is the closest thing we have to a grappler

[@justyeet2775]

Of course we dont eat glue... We drink paint, duh!

[@typhoonbh]

exactly

[@HELLRAISER02]

How id go about grapplers would be to give em decejt whiff punishment or lots of utility off grabs, side switching, oki, meter drain, counter hit launcher, punish counter launcher, just ways to add depth to em while still revolving around grabs

[@mbfun9298]

[@codynoble1059]

I play mainly shotos and a side of grapplers , and As a professional red crayon devouring champion, I love playing grapplers . My favorite grapplers are easily Shermie ( kof ) and potemkin. Idc about playing with logic , When it comes to grapplers, I huff 24/7 gallons of glue

[@Gilbot9000]

Grapplers are true kings, queens, and themperors. Our skillset isn't "ordinary" by most concepts but it's valid and absolutely as worthwhile as anything else!

[@purplechemillion609]

I main grapplers in some of my fighting games and i love when people try to say grapplers are easy and i'm just like "oh my sweet summer child.😂

[@chip9261]

got a love hate relationship with grappler mains

[@typhoonbh]

Don’t we all

[@cosmic5665]

I main gief and i hate some gief mains ngl, some are laggy and rage quit frequently

[@EndanDrachon]

I main certain characters rather than one hard archetype and I will say I generally have to think 2x as hard when playing my grappler mains than my shoto mains, and 3x as hard then when I'm playing my rushdown mains. Honestly the only exception would be Rashid, but I honestly think of him closer to a Setplay character than a shoto or rushdown.

[@EnbyAbyss]

I don't play many fighting games but one of my favorites is Your Only Move Is Hustle, and Robot, the game's grappler, is just perfect for me. He's got tools for almost everything, is relatively fast, and has both great single hit damage and long lasting combos. Despite all that he's actually pretty mid by the standards of that game's balance, yet people still constantly quit out against me the moment I land a single hit and that makes me sad :(

[@typhoonbh]

I talked about that game in a previous video, my favourite is the robot too

[@kaneicosasrandom8630]

As a main grappler, I can tell you that there are two types of grappler haters. The "hater" who usually just hates and complains about the meme. He doesn't mean it. He is NOT a main grappler and most likely genuinely suffers against them but understands the archetype. And the real hater who is most likely a main rushdown and goes online to vent after being command grabbed three times in a row. Is unable to recognize how to fight a grappler and instead of asking to themselves what they are doing wrong decides to hate the archetype. Is very serious but using the terminology that is now a meme because truly believes that everyone on the internet really hates grapplers because hating grapplers must be a universal truth.

[@felman87]

Watching Theory's new video about the frame perfect trick in SF4 will help you appreciate Grapplers more since he goes into Kara more indepth.

[@typhoonbh]

True

[@kendrickdials7852]

I play heavy characters but they tend to have few grabs like bedman or goldlewis.

[@preBLANK]

I was trying kof for the first time with kof 13 and first time in my life I understood how graplers are fun.(I was playing vice)

[@invertebrado]

My perspective as a grapple main is that I really don't think, sorry but I am stereotype. That glue was just looking too damn tasty for me to pass.

[@KAHJIRAH]

Back mega fist is +5?

[@typhoonbh]

I mispoke

[@phantomgamer4463]

El Fuerte movement style is base of Ring Of Destruction: Slam Masters 2 gameplay but without run cancel combo, el fuerte has run stop cancel its similiar but function differently. also i don't know would call myself a grappler player but as a Slam Masters 2 player would that count ?

[@qTRA]

finding out typhoon is a grappler main is equivalent to kids finding out santa isn't real (this is a joke) will always love the vids

[@matthiasjones]

I hate King... because I'm a Yoshimitsu main and it breaks my heart that he has more moves. 😭 But seriously, as *the* grappler for Tekken, I find King fascinating. Toward the higher levels of play his grabs are *super* risky: they can be ducked, they can be broken out of, and on wiff it's total punishment. He definitely needs to mix up his throws with other moves and movement, and his throw inputs are extensive strings. I find his skill ceiling to be very high and good Kings are an utter fucking mix-up menace, but in a way I can respect.

[@mastahmaxtah9339]

I feel like some grapplers are more braindead than others. I main Alpha 2 Zangief and I can't deny that it feels like I only need one brain cell to play him there, especially with magic grab

[@YSEricbanana]

I'll have you know, typhoon smells amazing

[@Coswalker27]

I just play the rule of cool. I main king in tekken just due the fact i think hes cool. I dont have a option on any character archetype due to the fact i play all of them. At some point.
