Grapple Assist Online

Grapple Assist is available in Online play but may put your fighter at a disadvantage due to the predictability of the transitions, especially at higher levels. It is recommended to play with Hybrid or Legacy Grapple HUD in Online play. You can change the setting inside Gameplay Settings from the Main Menu.
