I do that too.
Hi, thanks for your input, unfortunately everything you mention didn't work back then, dash, ducking,tech,meter,etc. didn't exist back then, ducking didn't stop it either. So no, the options weren't there. So much that midway decided to include a "throwing disabled" option which kinda proves my point of many people thinking it was cheap. Also as stated above from other members here, I'm not the only one that recalls that considered cheap. But I understand your opinion, I played many who thought of that not being cheap even though there was no way of avoiding it, repetively to make it worse, they started throwing when things got tough when playing a guy with more skill, then they'd say something like, "well it's in the game isn't it?", to me those were considered scrubs, times have changed and I love how you can actually counter, let's say, cheesy? moves. And guess what, those guys were right, it is part of the game, that SHOULDNT suggest however that it doesn't make it cheap.
Lmao. I'm laughing because I have not heard someone mention this for a long time and can completely agree and relate to this.
Lol yea man, I remember when sf2 and MK started. Here in usa those were also the choice fighting games, and yes I remember people getting mad at the arcade over throws Lol. I never threw anyone, my victories were skill based so I never had to throw or cheat as we called it back then. Capcom published a guide book about SF 2 turbo, I remember it had a "cheesy combo" section Lol, and yes it was about throwing. Remember ryu's and ken's corner trap? Lol
was referring to MKX now... reason i said it, cuz i still here the same people saying throws are cheap.
so once again, MK2 they where not cheap.... MK1 in the developers eyes was not competitive, it was more so for casuals to have fun in arcades...
It's all good, I get what you're saying and I think everyone in this thread gets what I'm saying now. Here's to the future cuz we got through the past! (=
Vaguely remember it but I remember Guile's one on SF2, can't remember if it worked on Champion edition where you could Jail the opponent with the Flash kick, so they become stuck together.
It was how it was back then, scrub or no scrub. Everyone just went with the flow or suffer the consequences depending on who you played. Some were hostile, yet others just argued. Plus, there was no such thing as online warriors or keyboard trolls to hide behind a computer screen like it is now.What a bunch of fukken scrubs people in the 90s were
Yup! Exactly. The more things change the more they stay the same is true sometimes.
Yea Guile's glitch could only be done in sf2 world warrior. Ryu and Ken could trap you in the corner with fireballs so if you jumped they'd just uppercut you and start over. This was more of a technique though because unlike throws which anyone can do you had to time your fireballs and uppercuts.
Damn, that's crazy, I just thought that was cheap but would never even say anything to people who played like that. Anyways good thing more and more people remember this Lol. I'm old brah's!
Tell me about it! (=Man what a bunch of scrubs. Level up instead of resorting to violence
Lol yea, when I started playing sf2 C.E. I was 12 years old, this guy at an arcade used to jab-throw me all the time, I never once talked shit to him or complain, I've always been skinny also so that wouldn't end well for me anyways, I then practiced over time and got really good at both SF and MK, one day I decided to cheap him like he did me even though I could beat him easily by then without having to cheap, so I jab-threw him and he got pissed and challenged me to a real fight even though he was like 18, people have dufferent mentalities.
In MK2, MK3/UMK/MKT And I am not sure about part 4 as you had two throws ( i think one you broke a body part). Anyway when someone tried to throw you there was a way to make the throw not work. Pressing D/B on the Dpad would not allow the player to throw you. Now if you were playing the AI this didn't work. I use to see people get pissed all the time in the arcade because i would run up to apply a bit of pressure/chip damage and not even want to throw them and because they didn't press D/B on their Dpad or even throw a toe tap (D LK) or something it would throw them and i would get that look. It was way worst in Street Fighter though. If recall right MK2 with this plus the disable throw code was the first game to addres throws somewhat until all the new stuff came out later and made it more acceptable.
Yup, the disable throw code was a way of deterring throws and I remember everyone in arcades abided by it, San diego, L.A., T.J.,San Francisco,etc. And yea SF2 had more issues with throws really. I remember back in 92-95 (somewhere around those years) in tournaments at San diego throwing wasn't allowed.
