Under Night In-Birth/System

Throws

Linne's throw hitbox

Throws are unblockable attacks that grab the opponent. All characters have a basic throw that is performed with + that only hits opponents that are grounded.

Basic Throws have 4 frames of start-up. After those 4 frames of start up: the character is grabbed. After being grabbed there are 14 frames until the character is thrown. During these 14 frames, the character that was grabbed can escape the throw by performing a "throw tech" with +. The character who teched the throw will recover 8 frames sooner than their opponent.

Some characters have unique throw attacks that, some of which deviate from the standard grounded throw:

• Throw in the air: Waldstein, Eltnum, Akatsuki
• Throw an aerial opponent while grounded: Waldstein, Gordeau
• Throw a grounded opponent while in the air: Seth, Eltnum

In regards to the throw hitbox interaction, the throw connects if the hitbox intersects the opponent's collision box.

In the cases where the opponent's loses collision, the throw will still connect.

Grounded throws do not connect while the opponent is in jump startup.

GRD System

The GRD ("Grind Grid") system is a very unique aspect to Under Night In-Birth, and a very important factor in the game.

The GRD is a tug of war that plays during the rounds of combat. Each character owns six squares on the GRD which they can attempt to fill by being aggressive, recovering/teching, shielding attacks, and using concentration. The GRD is lowered by back dashing, taking damage, using Force Function (+), getting shield blocked, throws getting escaped, and opponents using Concentration.

A timer shows itself as a repeating circle of progress in the middle of the GRD bar. It takes 16.5 in-game seconds to complete so it repeats exactly 6 times in a 99 second round. When the progress bar is filled, the character with the most amount of filled squares will enter a state called GRD Vorpal, which provides a 10% damage boost to the favored character.

Chain Shift has a 1 frame Full Invul startup, which then starts a timestop that lasts for 39 extra frames. The players can then asses the situation and input an action in case they are both on neutral state. There's an 8 frame buffer window for the player to input an action and a 3 frame buffer window for the opponent to do the same.

When using Chain Shift, the GRD is absorbed and transformed into EXS at a rate of 20 meter per box (up to 120 meter), at the cost of resetting the GRD to zero. Partial blocks do not get converted into meter. When using Chain Shift to cancel a move (normal or special), you get 8 meter per box if the move whiffs, and 12 meter per box on hit and block (40% and 60% of the total amount respectively).

EXS System

The EXS System is quite simply the super meter, which uniquely is measured in large percentages; starting at 0.00, and going all the way to 200.00. Each character has two stocks (or halves if you will) to their EXS meter; the first stock is filled at 100.00, and the second stock is filled at 200.00

In battle, the EXS meter is filled up accordingly to damage that is taken and dealt, just like any good old fighting game super meter, which is bolstered by being in Vorpal. EXS can also be filled by using Chain Shift, which converts GRD into EXS.

EXS is used for the EX version of Special Moves, Infinite Worths, Guard Thrusts, Assault, and Veil Off.
