Are all throw ranges the same?

    I'm not sure about this one: do different characters/throws have different throw ranges? Anyone?:ninja:

    Wolf's 41236 P+G (Giant swing), 8624 P+G (F5) and 8426 P+G (Burning hammer) have more range. Not sure if Wolf's 6 P+G has a differing range being faster than others.

    Aside from that I'm fairly sure all basic throws have the same range.

    BH have longest range. F5 and inperfect GS have above-average range. Perfect GS have slightly shorter range that common throws

    I don't have proof but El Blaze's throw range is longer than most. Or maybe he has the same reach but just has short arms.o_O

    And of course there is Jeffry's Splash Mountain but that is a special case since its not a standard throw.

    Brad's clinch seems to reach out a farther than his others...

    It is not throw, it is catch throw. That is whole different story (and animations :D )

    Well yall all know about Lei'fei's teleport catch throw and Jeffery's vacum splash mountain. These 2 will slerp you at MAX range, a whole character length away.

    Jeff can tag you from 3 character lengths away if you really want to but those are catch throws. This is (as far as I can tell) about regular throws.

    Indeed, I'm interested in potentially different throw ranges for regular throws.

    I'm not sure this is correct Unicorn. Could you provide a source or evidence for this info? My testing has shown PGS has the same long range as GS. I'm not sure about BH being different than F5/GS either.

    Isn't BH considered a catch throw?

    Taka. 4 6 p+g range is great. Practice in dojo with follow ups.

    That's a catch throw so it shouldn't count with standard throw ranges.
