Description[]
The user throws the opponent high into the sky, catches them on the way down, slamming the opponent's back into their own shoulders, and then slams them on the ground.
Strategy[]
Clark's Version[]
The command grab to end all command grabs, Super Argentine Backbreaker is a mixup, reversal, and combo extender all in one. The , surprisingly, has a bit of startup delay when used. This is unlike most characters, as the heavy version typically is reserved for that quirk. To make up for this, this version has frame 1 guard point and throw invulnerability until active. This is particularly great for tick throws and oki, beats mashing attempts and any attemps of wake-up DPs. It can really only be countered by aerial attacks. DP attempts will lose to this
The version activates on frame 1. Its fast startup can be used to from an empty jump or a forward dash to punish the opponent for hesitating, and can technically be used as a reversal against grounded opponents if they fail to do a proper safe jump. It should also be mentioned that both versions can be followed up with Flashing Elbow.
The version is similar to the version, but with more range. When Clark throws the opponent on the ground, it causes a ground bounce, and causes the opponent into a juggle state. However, due to this, Clark cannot use Flashing Elbow as a follow-up move.
Ralf's Version[]
Ralf's version is a simple standalone attack, but gives him a grappling answer for defensive enemies, since his attacks are blunter in nature.
