How do grabs work in Rivals of Aether 2?
There are three types of grabs in Rivals 2 - standing grab, dash grab, and pivot grab, which respectively have longer range but more endlag.
Attacks have priority over grabs, and if two players grab at the same time it will result in a grab release. You can perform a standing grab while dashing by inputting a jump and grab in quick succession. This is called a JC grab and is generally safer in case you whiff.
When a player gets a grab, they can throw, pummel, or special pummel. If they throw, their opponent will be immune to re-grabs until they get hit or touch the ground. If they pummel, this re-grab immunity will be lost, allowing them to be potentially chain-grabbed. If they special pummel, they’ll perform a move unique to each character.
If you’re the one getting grabbed, you can guess which pummel they’ll choose and press the same button to immediately break out of the grab. This is important against characters like Zetterburn, whose special pummel will set you on fire and can power up his throw into a kill shot.
Some characters like Loxodont have a command grab, a special move that lets you get a grab after a dash animation or in the air and can’t be broken out of.
