MKX "I'm the thrower of out throw" throws!

[DarthArma]

Has anyone noticed that you always seem able to tech throw? (Unlike injustice or street fighter) Just like the tekken games.

@9:30 in this video, you see scorpion get thrown during the animation of his attack before it became active, however he was able to tech it, so it seems that MKX doesnt allow you to punish with throws and always gives the throwEE the opportunity to tech.

Just a small piece of MKX that I don't think anyone else has shed light on yet.

 

[UsedForGlue]

Yea, this was an MK9 thing too.

No more throw punishes...

Also, now that you can throw in combos, I wonder are those tech-able? Or even the throw resets? :O

16 Bit said you can tech mid-juggle throws.

Yeah, you can tech both the regular and mb throws anytime you're not holding block (juggle, punish, raw, etc). No word on command throws yet though, but I doubt it.

It seems as if NRS's goal in MKX is to stop M2Dave from competing.

You still need to know which way to tech the throw though, which is part of the reason throws were so effective in MK9.

I thought they confirmed that mkx was going to have universal throw tech. Are you sure? Cause I'm not

that was my thoughts as well.

but they get all jumbled and such.

I also noticed how blatantly obvious the throw animation is now.

Who confirmed?

 

[Rathalos]

Several people, including some that worked on it have said it uses MK9 throw techs.

That was awhile ago though, things could have changed.

Nope, they are MK9-style directional throw techs.

 

[SneakyTortoise]

I'm almost certain 16 Bit has said it's the same as it was in MK9, not universal like it was in Injustice

 

[DarthArma]

Thanks for the confirmation guys. I guess well see soon enough, lol

Are you referring to the person teching the throws having to use different inputs between normal and back throws? I honestly wasn't aware of that.

 

[Paul the Octopus]

For those of us that didnt play MK9, what is the MK9 throw tech mechanic?

Yes. Your tech has to match the direction you were thrown in. In MK9 that meant you were pressing a different set of buttons to tech (front punch or kick vs. back punch/kick).

Not sure what the tech inputs are for MKX, but the concept is similar.

 

[Brutal Chimney]

Eh as long as it requires some effort from them...well at least when it comes to neutral throws. I'll be very dissapointed if you can tech command throws, if you can it better cost meter just like it would escaping a juggle.

 

[BecomingDeath13]

1 or 3 to tech a forward throw, 2 or 4 to tech a back throw. If I remember correctly.

Ah interesting. So in addition to reacting you also need to make a 50/50 guess on the direction of the throw? Or is the direction seeable/reactable?

Yeap. In MK9 it was partly situational; like if you knew that MU-wise your opponent's best advantage was to corner you rather than to grab the small amount of damage, you'd figure they'd throw you towards the corner. But obviously that can change situationally, so it was still a guess.

Not sure if anything's changed visually in MKX; but if it's like MK9, you'll have to make a read.

 

[ProudDisciple]

Is the direction seeable/reactable?

I was just about to ask this question, lol!

Is it similar to Tekken where the different throws have specific tells?

 

[STB Sgt Reed]

If it's directional throw techs again... you guys can throw me all day, every day.

I probably tech'd a total of 100 throws during MK9's life span. And all of those were purely though the luck of mashing buttons while being thrown. lol

 

[BecomingDeath13]

No, the reach animations were identical. It was a true 50/50

 

[ForeverKing]

I wonder if you can just mash all 4 buttons, so you don't have to guess the throw direction
