Command grab

A command grab is a type of special move that is in short, a throw that is performed with a joystick motion like a special move, and as such has many properties a special move has like the ability to be buffered into from attacks. It is also impossible to Tech Hit out of a command grab.

Command grabs are frequently extremely damaging at the expense of being being slower than normal attacks. Many command grabs can also be comboed into, although usually only in air combos. For example, characters like Alex and Zangief can deal very high damage by air comboing into Power Bomb or Spinning Piledriver, respectively. They also may have other strange properties.

Command grabs, just like normal throws, can not be parried. In this game, a command grab being done on a parry actually registers as a Counter hit meaning you get a slight damage boost!
