Hi, I know throwing is not considered cheap anymore and people throw all the time now in fighting games. My question is, when did throwing not become cheap? I used to live in the arcades back in the 90's and everywhere I went throwing was a big, huge, no-no. If you accidentally threw someone you'd let him throw you back, anyone old enough to remember this? I came back to gaming and I find that its ok to throw now, when did this change? Thoughts?
this is not directed towards you but some i have played in the past, i plyed mk since the arcade. Throwing has never been nor will be cheap.
There is many options for throws, Backdash, Tech, Meter, D4, Duck.
the options are definitely there.
even back in the day, it was just an excuse to not lab things up...
it fits my definition of a scrub. a player that calls a universal move, cheap, or the term broken, spaming. instead of finding how to counter the move or avoid it. they just slap a label on it to make themselfs feel better.
"the it was out of my control, its just to broken or cheap mentality" iustead of "what can i do to make myself not get in that situation"
