Tech - Predator EX Smart Disc Corner Trap (Unblockable Grab Setups + Beating Armored Wake-Ups)

EX Smart Disc into a grab can be comboed into allowing for unblockable corner traps after a F4 knockdown. You can choose to go for a grab, pressure, etc.

F4 is a techable knockdown with insane advantage, if they decide to not tech-roll you can bait an armored move and punish, but if they decide to roll you gain more options to beat wake-ups:
- jab into 50/50 or pressure
- grab into 50/50 or pressure (if grab hits first)
- grab to punish wake-ups (forward grab gets interrupted by disc, cannot be comboed off of)
- full combo to beat armor
- jab into gimmicky self destruct setup

If the opponent decides to delay wake-up the 2nd disc will catch them while standing up, so you can get free chip damage or go for a 50/50 (warrior)

Gesture Required Ahead

Get on that hook
I'll say this now before it causes a massive scare:

It's not a guaranteed set-up you will still need to read what the opponent does on wake-up. It also uses 2 bars to set-up. I commend the OP for actually showcasing multiple situations unlike a lot of people who post "tech" without testing tech-rolls, wake-ups, both, delayed wake,up, etc.

Keep in mind that there are characters in this game who can also hash out this much damage with less ressources used and less risk.

where is the option where they delay wake up and none of that works and you lose the bar?
just tested this. if they delay wake up the 2nd hit will catch them standing up so you can atleast get free chip damage or go for a 50/50 if you're using warrior.
