MKX EO throws are now reactable

[IrishMantis]

Olay I've said this in a thread a couple of days ago and have not seen anybody else say it( atleast to my knowledge, I'm sure it has being said)
So I thought I put up a video of evidence

The window feels fairly generous maybe 23-25 frames (guessing obviously)

Now I don't fully know how I feel about this yet but I accept it

Before anybody saids "you still have to guess" look at it this way, if you are near the corner of course you are going to try and tech the corner throw because if they throw you out it works in you're favour

The only time the 50/50 side of it comes into place is if you are completely mid screen or on the blink of death.
A lot of people will be teaching by accidental mashing as the window is bigger

As I said I'm not complaining I welcome, Accept and learn to adapt to it.

Just thought I'd post evidence

What are you guys opinion on this?

Edit: obviously is going to be harder to do in a real match looking out for other attacks and letting go of block at the same time, but I have done it, it definitely is possible once you prepare for it

From the few games I've played so far, I've noticed this too. My initial reaction is that I don't like it. I feel it hurts the characters that don't have strong 50/50s.
Throws are no longer for champs

Yeah my char relies on throws so it will hurt no doubt

Do throws still eat up normals? Do they still have D4 ranges? If not you could start shimmying to bait and whiff punish but if the answers to my first two questions are yes you can scrap that idea lol

Yes more so than ever now as they can accidentally tech

 

[FinalBoss_FGC]

Is this AFG nerf?

 

[XxTheGoblinX]

I was wondering why it felt easier

 

[TKB]

If you read their throw it's easier to just neutral duck and punish. Nice when you don't see it coming though.

 

[16 Bit]

this means foxy can't do the learn from this as much

Dude everybody knows

But what if you don't read a throw and think they are gonna attack then they throw and now you can tech

Thats what he just said.

 

[Rearawt]

the 50/59 side of it

Don't be fooled, guys, 50/59 is actually less than a 50/50

 

[IrishMantis]

Thats what he just said.

Oh shit

Sorry

 

[Lokheit]

this means foxy can't do the learn from this as much

Most times he does it at the end of a long combo with the health bar already depleted, I'd say people will keep learning from this.

 

[ZeroEffect]

Yeah... I've always been pro-throw meta in MKX, specifically because of characters who lack the pressure tools and OH/Low mixups to eat up defense.

Right now, I really don't like that change. But it may end up not being as big a problem as I'm thinking it might.

 

[M2Dave]

Abysmal change.

 

[TotteryManx]

I'm still too old to react to random throws, so have fun bodying me.

 

[The Celebrity]

Thank god. Throws are aggravating in this game. There are too many plus on block setups into such a difficult to tech throw. I have no idea how people like Scar were doing it reliably, kudos to them, but imo this was a much needed change. Throw teching should not have been so difficult from the start.

 

[Kickbykick]

noooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Y. I can't depend on grabs anymore and I don't have a block infinite

 

[M2Dave]

I have no idea how people like Scar were doing it reliably...

I know how. Scar is not a scrub unlike 90% of the people on this website.

 

[Error404]

I don't like it. Lowering their priority so that d1/2/3/4 beats them is a much better nerf.

Thank goodness I am not the only one that suffers from this...

Practice it man you get it

i noticed the EU players tech throws like a mofo
