If the opponent attempts to defend a late takedown, a Takedown Drive will be initiated. During a Takedown Drive, the player can push the opponent back by pushing the left stick towards the opponent. The player can also change direction on takedown by sliding the left stick up or down. The opponent must then mirror the change to defend the takedown.
To defend a takedown, press L2+R2 (PS4) and LT+RT (Xbox One). If you're behind on entries, you'll need to defend a Takedown Drive by flicking the left stick in the direction the opponent is moving.
