## Guide

When two fighters swing the same attack tier `(M1 vs M1, M2 vs M2)` at nearly the same time, their attacks can **clash (grapple).** Both fighters are locked in place clinching each other for a short period, the fighter with the longest M1 combo leading to the grapple wins, and shoves the other back with negated damage. (`-50%`)

What Rolls the Chance of a Grapple?

The **defender’s** combat style (the one who loses the grapple) rolls based on the `Resilience` grapple chance on their style.

Example: You’re fighting a `Karate` style user (`Resilience II - 25%`), you both M1 at nearly the same time, but you your combo was longer, it makes them the **defender** granting you the win.

No Resilience: Boxing, Hakari, Capoeira, Kyokushin Karate
