I made this video to show a concept conceptualized and largely foregrounded by Twilight Prince. The concept is Chainchoking ( http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=215037 ), or reacting to your opponent's get up animation following Ganon's Gerudo (Side B). This is not to be confused with Gerudo Tech Chasing, which unlike chainchoking relies on prediction rather than REACTION. This concept could huge potential, and if mastered, could have ramifications to the whole metagame.


Enjoy,

<3 DAD

No really, I quit.
<_< Tech chasing is either prediction or reaction, this is the same concept as snake's down throw, which is still called tech chasing.

Would you call snake's a chain grab?
While I'm not really interested in the semantic issues you're talking about, I'd say that if Snake can use the same Dthrow over and over again by reacting to the get up animations of the character being thrown without leaving them any frames/options to escape, then that is QUITE LITERALLY a chain GRAB.

The reason I make a point to separate this from Gerudo Tech Chasing is because a lot of people were coming into the chain choking thread saying they do this all the time, but in their post, they betray the facts that they're actually just Gerudo Tech Chasing. One of the main reasons for making the vid was to explain in images what was proving difficult in words.
