Most humble shit talker ever!!!
Lol why did you start off saying you look like Bobby Hill? Haha

Because fat people have slower reactions, right?
Yeah one of my notable traits in MKX was throw teching, but if there like 5-7 other options to look out for you have more chance of being hit as it's harder to be ready for
Are you sure it's 15 frames? Or is it 15 frames + the 10 frame start up of throws?
15 not counting the 10 start up
I swear I can be blocking, remove my finger from the block button after the throw animation has started, and still tech it.
but it exposed scrubs who mashed... good players preyed on this and it widened the skill gap
I agree it's gotta be removed but let's not compare this to the ridiculousness that was sf4 option selects. I remember using the momochi tech to single handedly beat people that didn't know what was going on.
Scrubs are gonna get exposed regardless because they're scrubs. You shouldn't use that as a means to justify something like this being present.
it widens skill gap, which I support
Personally I don't use the OS, I just tech throws normally.
I mean you can't be attwcking and tech a throw at least on paper
interesting the window feels much tighter than MKX.
It widens a different type of skill gap. I prefer intuition over execution so I'd say it does it in a bad way.
taking execution out of fighting games is a huge mistake. while I understand the logic from a business perspective, I don't like that you don't have to spend hours in the lab to get something. execution also widens skill gap which is a good thing. again, player perspective not WB share holder perspective
I love execution. I love seeing people hit 1 frame links. I could watch sakonoko in the lab all day. Trust me I respect it. I don't respect getting two guesses in Rock Paper Scissors vs my 1 guess just because you hit a simple OS. decision making is the most important thing(to me) in fighting games. Obviously you have to execute and follow through but watering down the risks with option selects on offense or defense makes for a far more boring game to play and to watch imo.
Yeah it was cool when people got frametrapped for doing throw OSes but these same OSes developed into ones that took away skil because they threw+teched+were hidden behind good buttons. No one really liked them not even top players man. I'm cool with throw OSes but not in Two Button to throw games because it leads to all kinds of silly OSes later on down the line.
It's pretty much plinking 1~3. If your opponent tries to throw, you get a tech. If they don't do anything, you get d1 if you're crouch blocking.
so its not a matter of pressing throw or d1 first? like which do u press first?
You press 1, then 3. You have to be holding 1 still, though.
thats not how mantis was doing it in the vid, was just plinking d1 to throw.
