1) more frames to tech and/or 2) take away 50/50 of throws. Personally I wouldn’t want the latter, but I do think the tech window could be a couple frames longer. What do you think?
They actually are easier lol. Play vanilla MK9 and try to throw tech.
I didnt even know you have to release block, thats why my tech sucks lol, thanks
Definitely needs more frames to tech. And 50/50 throws gotta go.
Soul Cal has very fast mids and somewhat visible lows to enforce the mixup(with some very fast short ranged lows). The whole point of making it so you can't block and tech is so the low/throw mixup is live, which the game needs because generic overheads like hops are pretty slow. Otherwise crouch block just gets even better and the game is even more focused on poke wars.
You actually only have to let go of block to tech during the tech window. Meaning if you’re blocking and they go for a throw, in the tech window you can let go of block and tech the throw. You just can’t be holding the block button when you tech a throw.
Yeah it’s weird. It makes forward throws much stronger. Because people mash 1 a lot, mostly trying to D1. So if you go for a back throw they will tech it more often than a forward throw because of the d1 mash.
Why do folks want to nerf everything? The only legit complaint I’ve heard on throws was the damage lol.
This is a fact! We use Scorpion so the f. Throw is king anyway lol.
Thats my issue. It would be a lot easier to remember 1/3 techs throws to the right and 2/4 techs throws to the left. In the heat of a match with cross ups and teleports its hard for my brain to try to guess forward/back in relation to my position verses left/right of screen.
Not saying that it isn't valid that you think about it that way, but I would guess most people would find your method way more confusing. Because the meta game of throws is actually pretty logical depending on screen positioning. When my back is to the corner I am more likely to tech forward throw, when I am pushing someone else into the corner I am thinking about teching back throw. I am rarely thinking about if I am standing on the right or left, only about the relative position to the corner.
