Part 37

Unlock the full potential of your wrestler in Legends of Wrestling II! This guide details every grapple, submission, and aerial attack, from basic slams to devastating DDTs.

Alright, so you've gotten the hang of the basics, but now it's time to really start controlling the match. This section is all about the grapple moves. These are the bread and butter of any good wrestler, letting you set up bigger attacks or even lock in a submission. We're going to break down all the different types of grapples you can pull off, from standing holds to what you can do when your opponent is down or in the corner.

Think of these as your building blocks. You'll use these to transition into more damaging moves or to wear your opponent down. Mastering these different grapple situations will make you a much more versatile and dangerous competitor.

Standing Grapples

When you've got your opponent tied up standing, you've got a ton of options. Depending on whether you're in front, behind, or they're bent over, you can hit different moves.

• Weapon Attack (Y): This is your basic strike. If you've got a weapon, it'll use it.

• Bent Over Bulldog (Bent Over, Y / Left or Right + Y / Up or Down + Y): You can hit this from multiple directions when they're bent over.

Once you've knocked your opponent down, you've got a whole new set of moves to keep the pressure on. These range from submission holds to ground-and-pound.
