Building Grapple Advantage while on top of your opponent occurs by landing small strikes with ^X^ or ^Y^ and by denying your opponent from Transitioning with ^RT^+^LSALL^ or ^RSALL^. Grapple Advantage will allow your fighter to transition quickly making it difficult for your opponent to defend the transition.

**Inputs:**

Strikes: ^X^ or ^Y^

Defend Transitions: ^RT^+^RS^ or ^LS^

Momentum Transitions are specific transitions which combine with one another when used in sequential order. They are transitions that when used, will transition as fast as possible allowing your fighter use a transition as if you had full Grapple Advantage. An example of Momentum Transition is when your opponent puts you into their Rubber Guard, your fighter will have a fast transition to Stacked Guard. There are over 40 different combinations of Momentum Transitions to find.

Stamina awareness is crucial when you are on top of your opponent. Low Stamina on the ground can lead to your fighter getting submitted or swept into a bad position. High Stamina allows your fighter to react quickly and transition as quick as possible if Grapple Advantage is high.
