Throw Techs...C'mon Man...

[Briggs8417]

Can we please do something with throw techs to make less...painstakingly brutal. That is all, aside from that this game is phenominal so far.

I have yet to tech a throw...

 

[Redk9]

Not only is the tech window insanely small. You have to guess the direction. Its a pretty huge turn off

One of the few things I miss about injustice. Having the reaction and teching a throw. Many times I react to the throw but still can't do anything about it since I was blocking and you can't tech a throw if you're blocking haha It's insane

 

[roosTakk]

Is teching a throw a 50/50 now too?

1 or 2 for forward throw.... 3 or 4 for back throw?

Is this how it works? Damn NRS went crazy with the 50/50s

you can press 1 and 3 at the same time or 2 and 4 at the same time to make it not a 50/50

I like the game and feel bad complaining but come on its now about the damage you get off a 50/50 and how well you don't get shoved in that position

It was the same way in MK9. 2 4 for Forward, 1 3 for Backward

You have to guess on a throw tech.

And no, it shouldn't be easy to break throws. Throws should be strong.

 

[Eldriken]

I thought someone made a thread the other day stating you don't have to guess and all you have to do is press 1 to tech any direction. Did that get proven otherwise?

I agree throws should be strong but there are other ways of doing so. SF makes good use of throws and those are techable. Also, is it true you can't punish with a throw in MKX?

 

[RM Jonnitti]

teching a throw was always a 50/50 before you even had to guess which direction. the 50/50 being to block or to tech a throw. thats enough, we don't need a double 50/50 or whatever

Punish what with a throw?

 

[Decay]

Punish what with a throw?

I haven't tested it but I heard if you try to punish something that's super negative on block with a throw, the opponent can still tech it if they mash 1 or 2.

I agree that throws should be strong as they are an integral part of games, I just feel they are a tad too strong right now. It makes it impossible to deal with some characters, making you be afraid of even blocking which shpuldn't be something that is discouraged.

damn so you can break throws while in the recovery of moves whaaaaaaat?! i dont thats a bad thing since you have to guess 1 or 2, a lot of games where there are different types of throw breakes have this, however they are usually have big enough tech windows that a baby can tech on reaction

Nope , there's also a sound cue that means that throw was a punish.

But i kind of agree w throws being very strong , if throws could be teched while blocking ( but still having to choose left or right ) it wouldn't be that bad of a choice

 

[MisguidedAngel]

Throws need to be more threatening than they are in SF. In SF you don't have overheads and low mix ups that lead to 35%+ damage. For throws to be worth something you need a reason to use them over an overhead or low mixup

 

[Eldriken]

Not being able to tech throws while you're blocking when you already have to guess which way they're gonna throw is kinda stupid in my opinion.

It's like this in KOFXIII as well.

If you get thrown by a character with strong offense you should be glad you got thrown instead of guessing wrong on a 50/50. If you are fighting a character without strong offense then throw is probably what they need.

You played Kitana for a couple days, dropping her because you were upset she couldn't open people up. Now throws are too good?

 

[16 Bit]

Also you two need to agree to have one of your switch avatars because I can't tell you apart. I see people as their avatars and now imagine two Jacqui twin sisters.

i agree with that for this game. doesn't seem like characters have as strong setups after a throw as they do in others, at least not yet

 

[16 Bit]

Also if you are pretty sure they're going to throw then instead of guessing on break you should duck and whiff punish. If you're letting go of block you might as well make the hard read.
