jumping is another option, but it’s less powerful. Command grabs are really risky now, in S2 folks felt they were a bit too good (I disagree, but I play a grappler character).
In some situations Alex can combo his grabs, those are combos and you can’t do anything about that once it starts. It’s off his fierce flash chop or V-trigger though.
Going to be taking a break now that I reached my goal- even if it took 2 hours of grinding this morning. Ran into the annoying Vega army. (bad matchup for my character, and frustrating because it’s so slow and you spend most of it blocking)
