How many throws have u teched ON PURPOSE?

Predannok · May 17, 2015

I don't like this throw system ,ive never been able to tech on reaction cuz im blocking and don't see any sense in having to release block , and leav ur self open to any attacks, in order to tech throws . Releasing block and trying to tech takes waay too long online. Jump in into throw is super effective cuz who in their right mind releases block after a jump in? But some people claimed they have no problem with the 50/50 throw gambling and the short window to tech. Ive only been able to tech throws preemptively or When I was mashing a attack.

Probably too easy to tech if you could hold block. Just let go of block and punch f**k outta that pad >.<

Edit: 60% sounds about right for me

7.56%

I'll honestly never get why the throw can't be teached with the throw.

Bad Genez · May 17, 2015

I've teched like 35% of my throws on purpose, because even when I do read them, I don't get shit. This system still confuses me.

nfdsallwd · May 17, 2015

not a single one

Braindead · May 17, 2015

Why would I need to tech throws on purpose when I always tech them accidentally?

Level up your mashing skills breh.

Why is there no option for 0%

I don't like the throw system, if I may be honest.

kabelfritz · May 17, 2015

i think i teched one on read so far.

A F0xy Grampa · May 17, 2015

Sometimes, teched a couple in tournament yesterday, but it depends on the situation.
You just gotta know 1. If they're going for the throw in the first place 2. Which way are they most likely to want to throw you?

Tony at Home · May 17, 2015

I don't understand why I would need to tech. When I think a throw might be coming I just neutral duck.

so u rather eat a 30%+ combo from a mid or Overhead if u guessed wrong instead of the 13% from a throw?

Gesture Required Ahead · May 17, 2015

None because when I read one, neutral duck and punish or jump and punish.

But hey, I'll take the techs I get from pressuring any day

IrishMantis · May 17, 2015

I'm actually curious on what the window of tech is

Cause in Injustice I teched a lot on reaction but in MKX I feel the only way I teched is on read or acidental

He's right, you're better off just neutral ducking, if you want to tech a throw you HAVE to unblock.
So teching is actually pointless if you have the read.
It's more or less just a show off mechanic I guess.

when I'm online I often can't tech on reaction unless the connection is green. Yellow has about 12 frames of lag.

So basically, I have to press the button to tech the throw early, which means if i guess wrong on a tech throw I often get combo'd for 30% anyway...

Glad I'm making a good decision, but I honestly forgot I even had to unblock

But I don't see how this is much different at least from when I was playing KI. You could tech throws, but it was pretty much always preferable to just neutral jump though. You could never be thrown while holding up, and throws had a ton of recovery so they could often be punished with the jump.

In MK it's just a neutral duck as opposed to jump

podizzler3000 · May 17, 2015

havent seen many tech throws in tournament play so far. sonic fox does a lot of meter burn throw resets though

But can you tech on reaction?

@colt could you tell us how many frames you have to tech please?

I guess teaching a throw on read is a safer option than ducking just in case they don't throw you

SneakyTortoise · May 17, 2015

60% of the time, it works every time

No because you have to unblock either way, thats the purpose of throws in this game, means that characters can technically open you up with just throws and mid attacks.

I thought it being a 50/50 would of done that job

I guess that's more to cut down the read factor
