Back mount from top control

Slight animation change. Especially from postured up half guard. Instead of forcing your oppenet down transtion to the back

I thought about that. I think taking the back as a reversal to the postured HG get up could look realistic.

But against the tight get up, I don't see it, because the opponent creates distance and the denial is to catch-up, in a way.

Different from what I'm saying. I'm talking about immediately taking the back from side control (if you intercept/time their attempt to get to sprawl). So I'm offering ideas for more scenarios, but only those that are realistic. This particular scenario is actually quite common in jiu jitsu. It's the reason most white and blue belts are generally encouraged to avoid turning that way. Of course, mma is a different beast, and even the best grapplers have diminished control.

Point is, there are still several movements that can be added to the system without reaching for unrealistic transitions, all within the current framework (i.e., staying within the current positions available).

People usually take the back when people scramble to there base during get ups. Similar to the get up from sub side control. Unfortunately with no scramble mechanic taking the back is a lot harder that it should be due to limited options.
