Pai's best throw?

In EVO, 270+ does a lot of damage, but recently I've tried + -> +, which does more. The question I have is is the d]+ guaranteed after +?

 

yes, her down throws are guarunteed following the+, the only problem is most human competition will know to expect it and escape, since this throw is much easier to pull off after her + than either of her 2 other low throws, so use it with discretion.

 

wait a second pai has a throw that sets up for a low throw afters? like the opponent recovers in crouch?

 

Yes.

 

The throw I like the most is:
+

Note that after the throw, you switch sides, the command is actually

 

IMO, ,+ is one of her best throw,very useful. There many options after the execution. It depends on how you use it. If you think that the opponent is going to escape the low throw, you can do which is quite basic (low damage). Another move, + will cause a MC, and it will force your opponent into another mind game. Also, you can do , which may cause a float, and you can follow up with +(insert combo) etc. for high damages. One situation where you can use , is where your opponent is a short distance away from the edge of the ring (about 4 squares in training mode). If connected, a simple combo, , will cause the opponent to ring out. There is risk in doing this but the reward versus risk is pretty good.

Against chars such as Sarah, Akira, if you do nothing after the throw, and they do ++, a low punch will come out. You can wait for the low punch and low throw them.

Against chars such as Wolf, Pai, ++ = a miss low throw animation. You can wait for the animation to do 270 throw (more damages /versus/images/graemlins/cool.gif) etc., throw, or even do ,+ to play mind games again.

There are many other possibilities in which you can use. Some options can give high damages. Try to mix up your options.

 

While I agree that it's a fantastic throw, I don't think that the + follow-up will give an MC. The only time I can think that you get an MC, other than when it's a true MC, is on a wall stagger (and some stances). Guess the latter depends on your definition of MC.

 

Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean. After Pai did a ,+ on me, if I try to low throw escape, and Pai does a +, she always get a MC. The only time Pai did not get a MC is when I input the throw escape too early. Or maybe I did something wrong?
Cheers.

 

I see what you mean now.
I thought you mean + would give an MC in the case that the person being thrown would do nothing.

In the case of your re-explanation, I believe you're dead on, it's happened to me before.

 

The + has the same power as + - ++. All I do is ++ - ++ - - to make a stronger throw combo. It's kinda hard, though!

Here's the correction!

 

also her ++ does the saem damage as the 270 unless they tech roll once they hit the ground

 

lol gee ho i think your a tiny bit confused on this one, basically it does the same damage but if they dont TR you get a ground hit which makes it 70 damage. /versus/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

no offense - but most people should reverse the low throw after +, and buffering in a dash following her ++ is not all that useful as it's pretty easy for your opponent to struggle. The CPU may fall for it sometimes but it's not a practical sequence against a human player.

If you want to compare her throws and come up with a best one...then, it's her 270, hands down. Her from crouch throw, + is also good but can be techrolled for decreased damage.

The best part of Pai's throw game is that she has excellent options. She has serviceable throws in four directions.

Everybody makes mistakes! /versus/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I guess you can change + to + > +. You're on the other side now, that's why it's .

I have a combo:

+ > + > +

If the opponent didn't fall on +, you can add:

(I think)
(I think)

or anything you can add

If they fell on +, you can add:
+ >
or +
+ > or + (I'm not sure if it's gonna work!)
