** Big Band is a somewhat more traditional example--large and slow, but his gap-closing moves, throw-heavy mixup game and highly effective command grabs gives him fearsome pressure up close. He only lacks for diversity in his grapples, relying primarily on his Bell throws or the deceptively variable properties of his "Take The A Train" command grab to catch foes off guard and open them up to the rest of his close range, combo-heavy kit.

* ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear'': Potemkin from ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear'' has an anti-air grab and is the series' only true straightforward grappler character, with most of his moves revolving around setting up his dangerous primary command grab, the Potemkin Buster.Buster. In fact, he winds up being a MechanicallyUnusualFighter because his playstyle is much slower and more deliberate than any other character in the series, to the point where he cannot run and has no air dash in exchange for being able to do tons of damage with his grabs.

* ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'': Inverted during Eren's first fight against the Armored Titan, [[spoiler: Reiner]]. While Eren's Attack Titan form can match the Armored Titan in terms of raw physical strength, it's a GlassCannon unable to bypass the [[LightningBruiser Armored Titan's]] defensive capabilities (that is, the hardened plates covering the Titan's body giving it it's moniker), and summarily gets struck to the ground each with each hit from the Armored Titan. Eren only manages to start turning the fight in his favor when he catches the Armored Titan off-guard by using an outside sweep takedown and armbars, both of which involve grapples and throws.
