What this mod does is pretty simple: it allows you to perform "grapple struggle reversals" in all grapple situation. In other words, it allows you to perform reversals even when you're not tried to be subdued. [How it works] As soon as you're grappled you'll see another that says "Reverse" prompt upside of "Break Free" button. This button will be half-filed and drain over time. If you don't act quickly or fail the button mashing mini game the button will turn red and your only option will be "Break Free". How this button reacts will change depending on your Hold Assist settings. CONTROLS E or Triangle = Mash grapple button to reverse enemies grapple This feature will also be added to Enhanced Brawling later. When I add this to Enhanced Brawling, you won't need to download this individually. [DONATIONS] These mods take a lot of time to develop and test to make sure that every function is working properly. So, I'd appreciate donations if you would like to support what I do. Here's my Patreon if you want to support me. 

This mod contains all of my works that aimed to improve melee combat only in one file. (Restored animations and mechanics, grapple sequences, new subdue animations, 6 brawling styles, struggle challenge, charging with knife, shoving, kicking, more environmental finishers, new brawl animations and alternatives for default ones, grapple position switching, ability to take hostage with every weapon and more) New updates changes will be written in the "posts" section. My Patreon if you want to support me. Changes: [Stream File] - The stream fol der is essential for lasso struggle animations (loads update_0.ycds). - Includes blunt animations from online, moonshiner drunk animations, and unarmed mounted animations. - Also loads the online window throw animation. - Avoid using version.dll as it may prevent some animations from loading. It generally works fine, but let me know if you encounter major issues. [Brawling Styles] 6 Brawling Styles all of them with their unique grapple and melee animations • BS_PLAYER= Default animations •BS_PLAYER_WINTER1 = Unique grapple dismiss animations that put the NPCs in intimidated position | Unique rightside counter attack animation •BS_PLAYER_FINALE = Different knife attack and parry animations • BS_BRUISER = Slow but heavy attacks | Unique subdue reversal and knockout animations | Different animations for ground grapple attacks | Grapple back from front | Unique blocking stance • BS_MICAH_FINALE = Fast but light attacks | Different animations for both standing grapple and tackle | If your enemy is using that brawling style you can block their grapple attacks by pressing [R]. | Wall Grapple Sequence | Unique blocking stance | Different knife parry animations | Different dodge animation to back • BS_MIXED = This one is a custom brawling style that has all the dodge and parry attack animations from BS_BRUISER, BS_MICAH_FINALE, BS_PLAYER and BS_PLAYER_WINTER1. [Grapple Attack Blocking] When you're grappled either from front or on ground, you'll get a "Block" prompt. Pressing this button play 6 unique animations for front grapples + 2 already existing bs_micah_finale animations for front and ground grapples. - Blocking resets the reversal sequence and gives another chance to reverse the grapple. [Grapple Reversals] Complete new feature that I also released as a standalone mod. - When you're grappled you'll have an option to rapidly press E to perform a grapple reversals in 3 grapple situations. - If you fail you won't be able to reverse and your only option will be "break free". For controllers the key is "Triangle" How hard the button mashing will be or how fast the button will drain can be changed from the EnhancedBrawling.ini file. [New Struggle Animations] - Struggles work similarly to online PvP, excluding lasso and ground knife. - Spamming F results in a knockout; F + LMB/R2 leads to execution. - All animations are unique, some with escape or KO variants. - New struggle additions: - Fixed broken lasso struggle – enemy must be subdued to tie now.
