The Command Grab! The ultimate fighting game experience. Separating the weak from the strong, the command grab provides some of the most satisfying primal moments you can experience in a fighter. So that said not exactly a top 10 list here but here is some of the greatest command grabs in all of fighting games! From raw power to just the fun aesthetics of them, lets talk some good grabs! Watch, leave a like if ya could, and if you feel a grab was left out of the video feel free to post it in the comments!

Hugo's grab from SF3 and SF4 - Feel the full weight of his body. El Fuerte's SF4 grab - if you get grabbed, simply smell his bolds while he keeps your head in his thigh. Kinnikuman, Clark from KOF, Rugal... also it's weird you left out Shun Goku Satsu.

my favourite command "grab" is Ingrids Sun Upper and the super version of it Sun Delta from street fighter alpha 3 max sun upper just has her raise a shield in front of her and if enemies get caught in it, she launches them up. sun delta on the other hand is her super and it can grab enemies at range as the hit box is created at different ranges depending on which punch button you press. this one also throws enemies up out of the screen, the difference being they're staying there much longer and the coolest thing is that, if you kill with it, the opponent doesn't drop back down, thus implying that their beaten and broken corpse is now floating in space.

Big Roof! I forgot about this one the first time I watched, but somebody HAS to mention Juggernaut's command grab from Xmen vs Street Fighter! The man is an OG "big boy" character, and he literally hammers you into the ground like a stake, then hits you with a righteous uppercut for good measure! Adding to the effect, he does the trademark "muahahah" laugh (that all grappler players are doing internally) when you land it, and you can juggle after it with the head crush super. This move has every element of the command grab honed to perfection.

@marmotbro4673
4 ай бұрын
Gotta mention my boy Beowulf from Skullgirls. He has a unique "Grab Stance" that he gets on all of his myriad of hit grabs/command grabs, and even his normal grab. What's cool about it is he has two different pummels, about five different enders with different properties, and a "Hype" meter that allows him to spend Hype to do "EX" enders that can chain into other grabs, go into combos, or give him godly oki. He also has a chair that he can land on while in grab stance to do extra damage, and you even get a unique ender if you have the chair and some Hype. Properly using meter, hype and assists lets you do some absolutely ridiculous grab combos (his 2MK is even an OTG grab letting you go even further) and to top it all off, if the killing blow is a certain EX finisher, a little penguin referee will slide in and tap the opponent out. Beowulf is actually pretty difficult to master but when you do, you feel like a wrestling GOD and no other character in any other game comes even close. Some people might say "Um ackually it doesn't count because you don't really use a command grab and beo is more of an oki/setplay character" and to those people i say SHUT UP he is a goddamn pro wrestler grabbing you TAKE THIS THROW.

Wolf actually has a Just Frame version of the Giant Swing too. In fact he got it 13 years before King did! Not only does it do more damage and throws farther, but it makes teching the landing to reduce the damage harder. It also makes Wolf recover faster so if you do it into a wall Wolf can actually follow up with an attack for even more damage!

Its kind of funny how simple yet complex grapplers are in their own way. Sure you just gotta do the grab and get big damage but getting the opponent into position for the grab is the puzzle and a fun one that I regularly enjoy.

My favorite command grab is still King's Muscle Buster from Tekken 3 onwards, it always looks so cool and feels so good to land. From the Persona Arena games, Kanji's Bet Ya Can't Take This is the rare command grab that you input in mid-air, and that can still land on a grounded opponent. MVC3 has Tron's Bonne Mixer, which i love since it starts by planting you in the ground, then spinning you around through the dirt, making it one of the few command grabs with negative elevation. And, of course, Street Fighter has a bevy of options, from the WTF value of Vega's Izuna Drop to the anti-fireball tech of Birdie's Hanging Chain to Manon's incremental power-ups to her Manège Doré.

Bowser in Project M has one of my favorite command grabs, Koopa Claw. Once you latch on you have so many opportunities to mix up your opponent's attempts at mitigation. He has three throws out of it, all of whose timings can be mixed up and they're all mixups of each other. Throw 1: Bowser headbutts the opponent with a reactably slow animation, popping them straight up for a follow-up. If they DI away it's reactable and leads to a follow-up that can kill in the right circumstances. If they DI in the follow-up is read only, but kills much earlier. Throw 2: Bowser YEETS the opponent hard behind him unreactably fast. If they DI in, they get sent basically straight back, securing disgustingly early kills. Throw 3: Bowser spikes them into the ground like a football, immediately setting up oki. In the air he instead punches them down into the ground and it can't be meteor cancelled. If you're good (and lucky) you can do stupid shit like pillar loops where you command grab them > throw 1 > j.Koopa Claw > throw 3 > jab (otg force wake up) > Koopa Claw > repeat until they tech or successfully mix their DI

I think another crucial aspect of the spinning piledriver is the sense of timing. Zangief repositions the opponent just long enough to recognize the move (less than a second usually), followed up by jumping and spinning in the air (the bulk of the total animation), and then crashing back down into the stage releasing all the momentum (paired with tons of screen-shake to give the feeling of impact).

I dont know how nobody has pointed this out yet - *_Tager does not break you over his knee._* It's over his back, same as the Pot Buster.

I always thought dead or alive was the best game for grappling, it had grabs, command grabs, air grabs, grabs on hit, combo chain grabs and parries into grabs, every game was an absolute orgy of grabs!

The spinning pile driver will always be the best grapple to me.

Mii brawler's suplex or any of Geese's counters are very interesting and cool.

No one hates grapplers more than Capcom themselves. They just include them to appease fans.

Heat Knuckle is by far my favorite command grab. Its just so satisfying to swat an opponent out of the air and watch them get blown up with a gatling cannon that sprouts from your arm gauntlets. It's also the perfect complement to pot buster. Enemy is passive and crouching blocking? Bust 'em. Enemy jumping everywhere to avoid the pot buster? Heat Knuckle. Landing a round start Heat Knuckle is like putting up a stop sign and shouting "YOUR SHENANIGANS WILL NOT BE TOLERATED! SIT DOWN!"

There's just something that hits the pleasure center of my brain when I hit a successful command grab. Better than a steak dinner.

I liked Birdie’s command grab from the alpha series. Wrapping the chains around your neck, lifting you up and slamming them down, re-lifting, then slamming them down again! Also The Chef Bravo from chaos code. He’ll serve you up in the wok, a super that does the same but he jumps in the air and spins until the opponent catches fire. His air throw is him catching his opponent up in the air and encasing then in an empanada. Last, he has a stopper where he throws you up, and a waitress brings out a giant pot of boiling water. For the opponent to land in. It’s cool

I love command grabs like KoFs Chang where they slams you repeatedly from you side to another like a ragdoll. I remember trying the command grabs IRL with my little brother when I was a kid, specially the giant swing lol

Loved the video! I was always partial towards Gan's throw in Rival Schools when he grabs you by the legs with one hand and smashes you around for a bit. Good times

I really appreciated Solomon Grundy's command grab from Injustice 1. The poetry he added on top of slamming you into the ground was enjoyable.

Great video! Definitely needs a part 2. Saturday Night Slam Masters? For me, the greatest command grab is Vega's Rolling Izuna Drop, especially off the cage. Just epic. A psychotic ninja matador interacting with the background, then flying at you and basically german-suplexing you over and over.
