Cinematic command grab hyper. Can be thought of as an enhanced version of Mighty Hurricane. However, it does not start a regular combo on a successful grab the way that Hurricane does (you can combo afterwards using a DHC, depending on the second character).
It is quite fast, can't be reacted to post-flash and is invincible up through the actual grab, so it can be mashed as a reversal against close-range pressure.
Because of this hyper's fast total duration, it can be used as a DHC whiff in order to combo into non-hyper attacks. This concept was popularized by Abegen who would DHC from a long, lingering hyper (like Tron's Servbot Takeout) into whiffed Mighty Punish, then perform several unscaled Mighty Sparks while the opponent was being hit for huge damage.
Mighty Punish can also be used in gimmicky DHC setups where you perform an air hyper against a grounded opponent, then DHC to Thor's grab before the hyper actually hits.
If you mistime your tickthrow Mighty Hurricane, you can cancel into this move as an emergency second chance.
