Smash Fundamentals Lecture #8 - Grabbing and Throwing
Hello class, beep! Today's class will be about throwing your opponent.
Of course it requires actually grabbing them first. Many of you have different constitutions which means one may have a longer reach than others. Grabbing is very important, and also very useful because you can grab someone even if they have a shield up, beep. Once you've grabbed someone, you can attack them with a grab attack. Hit them with your hands, knees, or weapon! Just don't take too long while grabbing someone or else they will break free. If you have a tool or other object to help your grabbing range, feel free to use it! Just be warned that if you miss, you will have to take a longer time to recover.
Throws happen after you grab someone. You can throw in four directions, beep. Above, below, forward, and backward. Backward throws have a lot of power, beep! Some backward throws can even be used as KO moves if you use them right. Throws are very important for getting your opponent in a position to your advantage for a combo, beep. Certain down throws can also be used for something called chaingrabbing and roll chasing. These are advanced techniques which I will go over later in the year, beep.
To help demonstrate these throws, we have Realbag. (he's Sandbag's real cousin don't ya know?).
I would like to see the class demonstrate throwing in two directions of your choosing, beep.
((OOC: I bolded the instructions as I feel some previous players didn't quite get the instructions G&W was asking for. just to make things clear :^D))
