How do you execute a guarding throw escape?

Hello everybody!

I revised the VF4 Evo training mode a week ago and I re-learnt the "guarding throw escape" thing: press /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gifand then hold /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif after a guarded or missed attack and whether your opponent throws or attacks with a high/mid attack, you'll be fine.

Now, I can't get this for shit in VF5. I went in free training mode and set the reaction to "the opponent will guard and then go for a throw or a mid attack". I could escape the throw 90% of the time, but the mid attacks would always get me. I wasn't using a move that would give my opponent big advantage, in fact I could guard his attack if I was simply guarding (but I would be thrown in cas eof a throw).

What am I doing wrong?

I found this to be true for me also. I can only get it off for an evading throw escape guard. I assumed I wasn't getting off P fast enough for the regular throw escape guard.

 

I need to re-learn these too, I got used to them in EVO but I can't seem to do them now. I haven't tried much though...

 

Sounds like a problem with timing. After you have inputed the throwescape all you need to do is to keep your finger on guard and release P and stick.

One problem may be that you are doing a move thats not giving enough disadvantage to you, messing up the timing. If you have too little disadvantage, you need to input G within the recovery of the move or a throw will come out (which will be interrupted by CPU attack, so you need to be very fast. When you are in more of a disadvantage, you have slightly more leeway.

Try instead hitting cpu block with something that has larger disadvantage, -7 or worse.

Thank you both guys, I'll try again with your suggestions in mind!

Is it possible to buffer multiple throw escapes in? In EVO I only ever used /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif + /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif, I'm guessing it's not possible to get other throw escape commands in there?

 

Yes it is possible, but better get it working with one and then move to more TEs.

Only thing to consider that you need to be conscious about the disadvantage you are in, or messing up the inputs might mean a whiffed throw animation to come out which would be disastrous.

If you do a evade-multiple throwescapes-guard and are too slow, you will get an evade first which is slightly less dangerous if opponent does an attack instead of throw. You also have time until the end of evade animation to press guard.

Where as with multiple-throwescapes-guard being too slow might mean getting counterhit launcher to the face (counterhit due to whiffed throw animation). /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

 

Thanks Manjimaru, i'll have to practice them in Dojo for a while. I find hard to guess if my opponent is gonna go for a throw or just hit back after blocking a big move, so these would help me out a lot.
