Why on earth should you be able to tech a grab whIle holding block? Not every character has relentless pressure and 50/50's so throws being strong makes sense. If throws could be teched while blocking the risk would go away and you'd always be able to cover 2 options.
You could just hold block and time random techs at no risk. It would be retarded.
It's when your opponent tries to throw you and you press the appropriate button at the right time and push them away from you.Can someone explain what throw teching means exactly , I dont understand
According to some of my Yomi teammates, it is. Just repeating their words unless something has changed.
Or instead of just implementing one change. NRS really thinks about it and implements an anti mash system. Like what blazblue has. Or how you can TAC every direction in UMvC3. There's more to this than just 50/50 or no 50/50. Tech while holding block or not holding block. Plenty of characters without crazy offense have won by KO in plenty of games man.
I'll bitch about quan's guessing game. Day 1 run cancel pressure. Heck I even bitched about Scorpion Flame aura. But that's not what this thread is about. If you make a thread about some crazy top tier tactic and tag me, I'll be happy to come in and voice my complaints, if I have any.
I don't even understand what your point is with this.
Even with an anti mash mechanic it would be stupid. You could just time throw techs at certain points within the strings where people will most likely go for a grab at pretry much 0 risk.
The part were I say "There's more to this than just 50/50 or no 50/50 . . ." If you're problem with block + tech is that low/no mixup characters will fall off then that could be remedied with a anti-tech-mash system change. Like how Capcom made it where if you crouch and grab, you get grab.
I disagree on that part. If I get you to try and tech and lock you out for 16f (random number) then immediately throw that would just end up in you getting thrown.
OK let's say you are locked from teching for 16f while blocking. I fake a throw and you press a button, not only do I have no idea if you tried to tech but you can still just let go of block to evade the throw which results in a full combo punish. You can mash a button from neutral to stop a high attack or throw. It would not work. Even with a lock out for 16f you would still have other 2nd chance options.
There was a thread on it. I'm pretty sure it was unanimous that a lower timer would work just fine and I think people were asking for timer options we don't currently have because the in game timer seconds is longer than real time seconds. But I guess that got lost in the hype of KP2 and ForeverKing vs Wound Cowboy.
The problem I have with what you're saying is that it's assuming that if you got baited you just defaulted to neutral ducking. The offensive player still has options and the defending player doesn't have to duck. But thanks for talking about it. I feel if we went any deeper we'd have a whole different grab game on our hands lol. But I will say, I'd like to see grabs either:
Yeah that's exactly what I'm talking about. IDK the exact ramifications such a system would have on a block button game. It's just that it seems like the answer to giving people a tech they want and securing people that are worried about block pressure characters. But everyone is usually 1 or 2 in some discussions. (A trend I noticed throughout this forum.)
Fair enough. I still think that neutral duck or armor is the better option in most situations, but you have made me realize that mashing a tech is a viable option sometimes.
