Been watching Marcelo roll and trying to deconstruct his Game. Or at least, pick up a few tips. Or just some things I see him doing, whether I can do it too is a whole another story.
In a nutshell, his top and bottom game is so solid he can play Seated Guard, then sweep, get on top and is able to Pass easily with is superior Top game.
From Bottom: Seated Guard -- 1. Hand fight: control hands/wrists. 2. Shoulder frame/knee frame for space. 3. Control lead leg, or ankle. 4. Get underneath, constantly undermining, testing Base and Balance, which will lead to ... 5. Sweep. (or he'll go for Guillotine sub if the head is sticking forward like ripe fruit to be picked), and gets on Top.
From Top: 1. Knee in, hand behind neck/head. 2. ** He doesn't use his hands to control knees or legs like most people do; he passes with the knee, knee pressure. 3. Butterfly Pass -- he double hugs waist.
RNC - he CAN sub with one hand. From Back (or seatbelt control) - his left (bottom) hand will control guy's left wrist, then there's a free path with his right top hand to come across the neck.
