you didnt read the post at all. I DONT HAVE A PROBLEM DEALING WITH THIS.
its STALE game play.
Yes, and stale game play is predictable, and should be punished. I, for one, would love it if this were all my opponents were doing, because then the match would be easy. If this is the end of your opponents' tactics, then there are a few possibilities:
- They are bad, and don't mix things up enough, and don't adapt enough to change their habits
- They are better than you, and consistently win neutral by baiting out commitments and punishing with grabs
- You are bad, and either not punishing their predictability, or not pushing it hard enough that they change their habits
The key is that grabs aren't really a very good approach, except as an occasional mixup. What they
are good for is punishes. They allow you to punish approaches that are mis-spaced on shield, punish overcommitments, or punish sloppy movement, following into a conversion.
You complaints of "oh no they grab and then combo" is kind of silly, because that's typically the entire point of a grab, or, really just about any move. The point is to gain an advantage, whether in positioning or in percentage. At best, you get a KO or set up an edgeguard situation, or a combo. A grab can lead into any of these, and the entire
point of them at low percents is to set up into combos, because edgeguard and KO situations are going to happen much more infrequently at those percents. That's how the game works.
If they grab you, DI properly, get out of the combo, reset to neutral, and play better. If all they're doing is grabbing, play around it, play better than them, and punish them hard until they are forced to change their habits.
