Description

Manon flipping Cammy over using Uchi Mata.

"Grapple with your opponent, slipping your leg between theirs and lifting them over you. Throws your opponent while switching places with them."

—Street Fighter 6

Executed by pressing Light Punch and Light Kick, (the throw command) while holding back on the control stick near an opponent. After grabbing the opponent by the wrist, Manon then wraps her arm around the back of their neck. Next, she turns the other way and swings her back leg up the opponent's thigh to flip them over. Manon keeps her leg raised high as she slams her opponent to the floor.

Tactics

Manon's throws are extremely useful to open up the opponents who are constantly blocking. While it does significantly less damage compared to her command grab, it has a fast recovery. This means that Manon can still counter her opponent if they jump to avoid her grabs, giving her time to attack. Uchi Mata also switches sides with the opponent. This move is very effective when putting the opponent back in the corner. It leaves Manon closer to the opponent, compared when used in the middle of the stage. She can also perform a Drive Rush and go for a strike-throw mix-up. While Manon's command throw can increase her medal level to make her special moves stronger, Manon's normal throw has a faster startup and gives her a way to inflict easy damage while the opponent is on their heels.
