    So, if I'm not mistaken Wolf, Jeffry, Aoi, Goh and Blaze are the only characters in VF5FS that have OTG throws. Recently I considered my main character Vanessa and couldn't help thinking to myself: "Why does she not have an OTG throw of her own?" I mean...think about her style! Is it just me or shouldn't she also be on that short list of characters with OTG throws? o_O

    That's a fair question, her style lends itself to having some kind of mount/ground throw. I wouldn't say it's a 'balance' thing, but maybe they just didn't have anything that felt unique for her?
    (I'm more surprised Jeffry doesn't have any catch throws!)

    You know she is the only character with crouch throws to not have ground throws. Good observation, maybe in new VF she gets it. I mean back in Vanilla OS had crouch throws just like DS, Also I would love for her moves that transitioned from OS to DS and vice versa to comeback.

    I agree with you 100%! As a true grappler Jeffry should have a catch throw. But than again....who needs a catch throw when you have the Toe Kick Of Doom. Lol! In VF4EVO Vanesaa had 6,2 P+G throw. Something along that line would've made for an awesome OTG throw!

    I can only guess they wanted to differentiate Jeffry from Wolf a bit more by making him more of a striker than a pure grappler. If not a catch-throw, then some more useful guard breaks would be welcome!

    I think that she has a lot of tools already. And I think their idea of giving her a tackle satisfies it. At least she still has a ground stance?

    Her diagonal OS low throw animation was essentially that of a ground throw as well.

    The developers progressively stripped her of reversals and (hit-)throws, adding ground throws doesn't seem to be the direction they are headed.
