Bizarre Shun Throw Scenario

I can't believe it took me this long to find this out. Maybe others know about this, but it's too cool to not post!

LOL WTF MAGIC THROW against shun

 

Wow. Does this remind anyone else of Tekken Tag's numerous glitches?

 

It reminds me more of handcuff throws from World Warrior.

 

Wow that's insane. I hope they fix that and give him a sabaki+throw escape 2 in 1, or a 79 point damage, safe, combo, non-throw clash from that position. damn shun

 

I reckon that falling back animation counted as backturned all the way down, as its basically a move, not just falling back. Shun hadnt landed fully when the backthrow came out at 0 frames.

 

wow so I can throw shun now if he does the falling down animation. I wonder why we've never seen anyone do this before.

 

Haha, I've seen it before! It also happened to me with Wolf being thrown after blocked or ducked +... don't remember which one was it... gonna test it and see if it wasn't an accident

 

I thought shun has always been able to be thrown from fall down moves, just that it isn't easy to react to. maybe I was just always hoping for something to catch that prick. haha.

 

Is this something that can be used against a Shun player in a match or is the timing very strict as to when he is throwable???

Basically, are we talking like a small window of frames, right as he hits the ground, where that can be pulled off or is it not too timing specific, i.e. when you see him fall you can nail that throw every time???

 

Extra props to you for making a vid about it.

 

There are only two situations when Shun can be throw while lying down. This one is the easiest because you get almost two seconds after he's fallen (but only possible from BT instance). The impractical thing about this is no Shun player will ever use that move unless showing off or just having fun.

The other situation when Shun can be thrown is immediately after going into lay down stance, but the timing is so hard it's not useful to try. A quick hit followed by a pounce is the best option. This just made me want to see a BT lay down back throw!! =)

There is one other instance but not while lying down. It's when Shun rolls forward from one-legged stance. He can be thrown at anytime during the roll.

The strange thing about this video is that the game considers you facing front, not BT, after falling. And the thing I love best about this move is that it's the longest lying down opportunity in the game. What I mean is after falling down (only from the BT position) Shun can lay there for almost 5 seconds. It really screws up people in wake up situations.
