Considering that, according to Word of God, his Titan form was based on MMA fighter Yushin Okami, this makes sense. In Attack on Titan, Eren, in Rogue Titan form, utilizes this a lot in his second fight against Annie, who is the Female Titan, breaking out an assortment of moves ranging from the triangle choke, armbars, and knee bars.However, one of the most commonly seen moves, the German Suplex, can be delivered to a struggling/actively resisting opponent, but it is never as clean as you'd think, although some professional wrestlers have demonstrated the strength to perform a 'deadlift' (unassisted) German Suplex. This means that these moves would be very easily countered by a resisting target, and would thus be pointless to use in a real combat situation. Of course, in Real Life, such throws usually require the opponent to at least allow it to happen, and most of them require the person being thrown, suplexed, etc., to actually assist in the attempt. In general, if a character in a Fighting Game specializes in grapples, most of them will be of this variety. This might be explained by the Japanese love of pro wrestling. A nice solid suplex or perfectly executed armbar can help convey untold amounts of badassness to a character as the viewer watches them delivering maximum ouch factor. So where can the designers find throws that are more interesting? Good ole pro wrasslin'. And some martial arts don't have throws at all. In your average beat 'em up, throws are compulsory, yet the throws in most real martial arts (including real wrestling) aren't all that eye-catching. This is usually prevalent in video games, especially beat 'em ups. Ever notice that pro wrestling moves pop up in the strangest places?
