Just do exact opposite scorp players want and we good to go
What does that even mean? Scorpion doesn’t even have a top throw game. Geras, Jacqui, Kang, Noob, are some of the best.
You only addressed one point.
I’ve already addressed them in previous posts. Just go read them.
Leave Skarlet throw mixup alone, she needz it
Throw would still be 50/50 even if forward/ back throw had unique animations. It would still be 10f throw.
I'm not "crying" about anything. I'm merely pointing out the fact that given how strong throws are in this game, that ONE SINGLE FRAME OF ADVANTAGE as a reward for teching a throw, while still taking damage, isn't really a big deal.
I mean, as long as we're in wishlist territory, then give me some appropriate window to be able to react. I don't personally care much about the actual implementation of how it would no longer be a 50/50, I just don't see the point in it being a guess. If I'm blocking you, you grab and I correctly react, today I don't even get a reward for that other than not taking as much damage and getting the right to keep doing what I've been doing. It's not like if this wasn't a 50/50 I could somehow abuse it. Unless I make some sort of offensive move, I'm just going to lose a war of attrition and since I don't get advantage, teching the throw doesn't inherently set me up to better be able to go on the offensive. I still don't think teching the throw should give me an advantage, but at least don't make me guess because the rewards for being lucky aren't really proportionate to the punishment for being unlucky.
Throw has its own meta game. Being aware of screen positioning, tick throw setups, which throws KB, oki after throws, etc. all play a part in how strong throws are against you.
The problem is that connecting either throw rewards you, so it can easily devolve into a "they think I think that they think I'm going to do xyz". As the person who's throwing, maybe I choose the suboptimal throw because they're going to react to the obvious one. This type of mind game is recursive to the point that it does just become a 50/50 again.
What you’re describing is called “yomi”. Basically making reads on what you think your opponent is thinking. In that situation I’d just neutral crouch and punish the throw attempt.
I agree with this lol. I usually go for the hard read and neutral crouch. They’ll stop throwing after a full combo punish.
Pft. I'll throw right after a d2 KB. >.>
Yeah, that's a good point. To be fair, I'm not an advanced player so I'm sure part of the reason I don't see the throw game as interesting is because for people around my skill level, it is a 50/50. Thanks for the suggestion, I need to spend some time working on this and mulling it over.
nah it’s neutral. Just tested to be 100% sure.
