Backbreaker

 BBT <player>

The ultimate throw, this ability does a large amount of damage to people who are sitting/laying on the ground, as well as causes damage to your opponent's back. Should your opponent's back be sufficiently damaged, he/she will be automatically killed.

Dragon

 DRS

More of a state of mind than a stance, it's a powerful one.
