Starting with Grapples

When you’re in the ring, knowing how to grapple effectively can make all the difference… Here’s how you can take your opponent down, piece by piece.

Head Grapples: Getting Up Close & Personal

So, you’ve got your opponent on the ground, what’s next? To target the head, you gotta stand right near their noggin & press Circle (for my PlayStation folks) or B (for the Xbox crew). Now, if you’re aiming for a light grapple, press Square (on PlayStation) or X (on Xbox). For a heavier attack, press X (PlayStation) or A (Xbox)… This is your key to dishing out some serious damage up top…

Leg Grapples: Twist & Shout

Wanna target those legs? Press Circle/B to initiate a grapple at their legs. For a lighter move, hit Square/X & for something with a bit more oomph, go for X/A. This way, you’re not just attacking; you’re strategically immobilizing your opponent piece by piece…

Side Grapples: The Sneak Attack

For those looking to get a bit sneaky, repositioning your opponent to their side is where it’s at… Just nudge the right directional stick left or right & press Circle/B to start your side grapple. Then, depending on your mood, press Square or X on PlayStation or A and B on Xbox for that unexpected hit.

Striking: The Art of the Hit

Strikes are all about precision & timing… Here’s how to make each hit count.

Heavy Strikes: Bringing the Pain

Standing near the head, body, or legs? It’s time to unleash a heavy strike with X (PlayStation) or A (Xbox). These aren’t just any hits; they’re calculated moves meant to bring your opponent down a peg or two.

Light Strikes: Quick & Dirty

For those times when you just wanna keep the pressure on, light strikes are your go-to. Simply use Square (PlayStation) or X (Xbox) for a fast, effective hit that keeps your opponent guessing…

Know Your Wrestler

This part? It’s crucial… Each wrestler’s moveset is like their personal playbook. Technical wrestlers? They’re all about precision, making every hit count towards weakening a specific part. Power wrestlers, on the other hand, bring the brute force, often going for the big, show-stopping moves that leave the crowd roaring. So knowing who you’re stepping into the ring as can seriously shape your game plan.
