Hate Speech: Throw-Tier Heroes

[dtarchon]

Throws can also be used to counter people looking to GI or even JG.

Throws can also be guaranteed in certain situations when you grab someone in the startup animation of a move, or against a ring edge with the possibility of RO.

Jus sayin, but jus sayin'. In street fighter-esque games, throws are usually 1-FRAME, so they don't lose to attacks

Great article (again), btw. :D

Depends on the game. Games with 2 button throws tend to have a startup animation which you can poke.

Also, another correction, only SFIII and SFIV have had throw teching. SFI, II and Alpha didn't. SSFII Turbo did has throw softening, which lessened the damage and allowed you to land on your feet. The same with Alpha 3.

Awesome article.

I find myself pondering some Astaroth practice. ;)

2D games grapplers are much worse.

Agreed 100%
In most of the 3D fighters I have played, throws aren't that bad. (Well except for Tekken. I can't stand King and his 6 combo grab bs)
2D games throws are so hard to see that it isn't even funny. Especially Tager from BB.
