Description
Executed by pressing Light Punch and Light Kick, (the throw command) and pushing backwards near an opponent. Menat grabs her opponent by the collar with one hand and yanks them forward, getting them to slightly bend over. She drops the orb on her knee, places her hands on the back of her opponent's head, and vaults herself on top of them. While ascending, she delivers a knee strike to her opponent's chin, hitting them with the orb.
Menat lands with two feet on her opponent's face. She carefully stands on one foot on top her opponent's forehead, balancing the orb on her head. Menat ends the throw by stomping her other foot on top of her opponent's face. As they fall on their stomach, Menat flips and gracefully lands on the ground.
Tactics
This throw is very useful for putting a good amount of space between Menat and her opponent. It is also an effective tool to put his opponent back in the corner, since it covers much of the screen. Because Menat excels when she is at a distance, it is important to utilize her throws to keep her opponent at bay. Compared to her forward throw, Pyramid Hopscotch inflicts slightly more damage and stun. If Menat has her opponent close to stun and on their heels with her V-Trigger, then she can sneak a back throw to stun her opponent, opening the door for some damaging combos and tricky setups.
