Since that character will already holding the other using their arms, most pummels are knee jabs or head butts, which tend to cause around 2-3% damage per hit. Pummeling is primarily used to rack up extra damage before a throw. The higher an opponent's damage meter, the longer one can pummel before they're able to break free from the grab. If not executed swiftly, an adept fighter may escape before even a single blow is landed.
