Purple grabs are like drugs, they are wrong but people will still do them.
I still use purple grabs on occasion because they still catch people, mostly when they are in a rush to get away from Tager and they hit whatever they are trying to do during the time you are suppose to tech the grab.
It's a once in a blue moon thing you know.
Don't do it all the time but do it on that one time when no one expects it.
Playing Tager is surprise buttsex I swear.
Edit: Also I am not defending that guy because he used them wrong, I am just saying you give purple throws too little credit.
I also like to say that I am not encouraging you to use them either because they only work like 1/100th of the time.
What am I trying to say? You have options and you are free to use them...purple throwing someone is one of these.
Oh too bad we lost air grab>j.D trap. D:
Edit2: Purple throw is not a option its a way of life.
