<font color="orange">BASIC COMBOS</font color>

A collection of basic combos for each character with hit, weight and stance requirements. The list is by no means complete, but a good start for those new to Evolution and it also gives you an idea of how to utilise the new or revised moves.

Regarding Lion's Catch Throw Combo, from what I read in Arcadia, the command is listed with "during 1P side" in parentheses following it, so I assumed this to mean forward + guard.

As a general rule of thumb, all command notation is shown assuming you're on 1P side.

Is this to be read that it is no longer direction + and now just direction + to escape throws?

Umm. no. Where was that ever implied? The special escapes were specific to the throw combos listed. There has been no change to the current throw escape system.
