Aoi ground throws

I'm having a heck of a time getting her ground throws to connect. Her hands always seem to just "pass through" or don't connect (which is funny cause throws while standing seem to suck people in!). I've tried with head towards, away, and from the side, but with maybe a 10% success rate.

 

The animation is misleading... she lunges forward far beyond her actual throw range. Try standing right next to them (a wall or D,f+P+G works well) and going for it; IIRC she snaps into position when she reaches the opponent.

 

Thanks, will definatly try this out.
