Hate Speech: Hands On

I should learn how to play? Funny how ive been scraping u ever since I came on the scene tho lol
For someone whos been playing the game longer than I have, I thought you'd realize that by now punishes make more sense in Tekken (Namco's golden poster child game) than they do Calibur. If you didn't have to guess in Calibur, this convo would be void. But the fact that grab dmg has been increased throughout games AND only half the cast can answer for ducking/evading grabs is pretty stupid imo.

No character so far has a good low.
Grab promotion was further increased.
Characters still lacking FC/WS punishes.
Take a look at Tekken. U can break 3 grabs, which each have their own animation so it eliminates the guessing. We don't have that. So not only do grabs dumb damage, they're also only a guess. On top of that, not only does Tekken get the benefit of seeing grabs, every character in the game gets a great FC/WS punish...how does that make sense in a game where u not only have to guess grabs but, u have shit FC/WS punishes for?

Off the top of my head, Zwei gets almost 80 off of a ducked throw, for starters. Pirate gets good damage and knockdown. Astaroth gets a knockdown bullrush, Nightmare gets FC 3B, etc etc etc. Plenty of characters can punish throws hard. The ones who can't generally get frames, and frames in SC5 mean you can start running mixups that lead into nasty, nasty damage.

I think you're off-base when you say that seeing grabs is a benefit. Think in terms of what purpose throws actually serve: in Tekken, they're a way to apply mild pressure and, occasionally, change position on break. Ultimately they serve primarily as another execution barrier--good players rarely get thrown.

In SC, throws are a way to call out people for being passive (passivity, I remind you, is something SC5 despises at a systems-level). If I read you standing like a tool, I grab you. The fact that you get a 50/50 shot at escaping most of the damage from that should feel like a gift.
 
Patrokolos has 236B BE, so does Phyrah + her JF, Yoshi has 6K2K, Cervy has a TON, Ivy has sick FC Damage afair, ZWEI as well, Sieg WS B etc etc...dont know why you think FC game sucks.....
