Throws

Kick of the Dragon - (b/f + C) close

• Robert grabs the opponent, then kicks them with both feet to the chest, throwing them towards the corner while Robert back flips away. The opponent lands at the corner of the screen, while Rober flips towards the opposite end.

• Soft knockdown

• Should be used to create space between you and the opponent since you can't use it for any kind of okizeme/wake-up opportunity or follow up.

Decapitating Drop - (b/f + D) close

• Robert grabs the opponent with one hand, then slams them to the ground on the other side.

• Hard knockdown

• The opponent lands a character space away from the end of the screen in the corner. The opponent wakes up as soon as Robert recovers from the throw animation making it difficult for okizeme follow-ups. Okizeme is a bit easier if the opponent lands directly in the corner.
