How do you see grabs coming??

Good Game :)
Help? I've noticed that at EVO many of the top players were breaking grabs like nothing, is there a trick to seeing grabs? REO for example, was breaking grabs even when it was least expected, but how?

If you have good reflexes you can train yourself to tech on reaction.

Otherwise it is just basic reads and noticing patterns(EX: A lot of Supes players will do F23 trait grab)

I have no idea how to break grabs either, however I've been on many Tekken streams (where you have to see the correct arm to break a throw) and asked the same question. It's mainly just practice, reaction, and anticipation. I remember Aris and Rickstah (another tekken player) were breaking throws like no tomorrow when the game initially dropped, mainly due to tekken and just going through it more.

Just my 2 cents :)

except that almost every throws in tekken are 12 frames and each throw has a different animation (yes you have to see the correct arm), so can you can actually use your reaction, mk and injustice is more like you have to read, way harder to react and tech throw than tekken.

Get your guns on. Sheriff is back.
Personally I am convinced Chris G is just fucking psychic when it comes to teching throws. Watch his shit in Marvel vanilla or before he went full screen with Morridoom in Ultimate. I have no IDEA how he got that fast at teching.

It sounds trivial but just always have your finger on the throw button and hope you react fast enough.

This is why I hate the IGAU throw system. On MK and SCV, since my thumb is already placed on 1/2(MK9) or A/B(SCV), I can easily react to throws and tech them.Despite the fact that it's a guessing game in itself. But IGAU requires me to tech a throw WITH a throw. And my index is usually on the MB button for comfort reasons and my thumb, as I've said before, is on 1/2 so I can't tech with 1+3 either.

So teching in IGAU is nearly impossible for me to do on reaction.

I know breaking throws for MK was more difficult because you can't react to it (can't break a throw if your blocking). For injustice, I have no idea, but to me, it looked like Aris reacted to it. How much of a window do you have to break a throw for injustice? Just curious :)

Arent throws godlike on Injustice compared to MK9? It seems like it can overpower a punch and they grab you through a hit, or is that just lag? I dont remember that on MK9.

I have decent reflexes and online i can almost never react to a throw, only on read.

Also, despite being as fast as 10 frames, at least the animations gave away an indication that they're going for the throw. Unlike Injustice where there are some characters (Raven and GA, maybe others as well) where there is no animation unless they whiff and the only indication you have is the camera zooming in at the last few frames. So it makes it even harder to react.

Look for the camera zoom, then practice reacting to that. Sit in training mode and practice reacting only to the camera zoom and not the throw animation, worked for me.

just started practicing breaking throws in practice mode. it seems like you have like a million years to react lol

EDIT: It's probably better to practice vs Raven cause she has the throw that's hardest to react to.
