Biography
Often characterized by a lack of speed and range, grapplers' biggest strengths are found within their large pools of health, high damage output, and most importantly, their command grabs. While in most fighting games, each player is capable of grabbing an opponent, grapplers often possess numerous grabs that can be used in different scenarios that can deal huge sums of damage. While they're a force to be reckoned with up close, their weaknesses often lie within their lack of mobility and weak options when facing characters with impressive range and numerous projectiles. Some grapplers have powerful anti-air options to punish opponents for jumping out of their command grab range, which put them in a lose-lose scenario if the grappler player is able to successfully predict their actions. Some of the most iconic examples include Street Fighter's Zangief, Tekken's King, Zangief from Street Fighter and Potemkin from Guilty Gear.
