Quik question about throw escaping

Some guy that looks like Takaarashi told me that to escape throws, you have to input the same throw command that is used against you. Is this true?

 

Depends on which VF you're talking about. In a nutshell, to escape a throw you must input the last command +P+G that your opponent did.

ie:
1. Opponent does f,b+P+G. Escape is b+P+G.
2. Opponent does b,df+P+G. Escape is df+P+G.

Get it?

 

one more thing....

escaping side throws has to do with where the opponent is standing..

if standing on ur right, press f+pg

if on ur left, ,b+pg is the command~

 

Ok, so to clarify a bit.

If P1 does ,++ to you, then you have to do ++ to escape it. The question is do you have to input ++ from the P1 perspective or from the P2 perspective?

 

escaping is based on forward or back rather than left or right -

so if the opponent uses ++ throws you'd break with ++

 

The VF4PS2 N/A version explains in detail in the Tutorial. It even lets you practice the move. How's this, there's even higher levels of throw escaping! You can input alot of throw escapes for a single throw situation- so why guess what's coming (gotta be fast).

Basically, you input the throw escape just after the throw attempt. The window of opportunity is alot wider than what was present in VF1 and VF2, IMO. You input the last direction +P+G in the perspective of your opponent. Say your friend does Jeffery's Splash Mountain from the 1P side (++), you would input a ++ from 2P's perspective. Of course, if you didn't know a Splash Mountain was coming, but your'e sure a throw would come, you can input all types of directions (as much as you can press in the given window) ++. Also remember that to throw escape throws without any direction pressed, that the throw escape must also be attempted without direction pressed.

This is a good reason for beginners to play with other characters, or at least study the inputs of their various throws.

 

Whoa, more help than expected; thanks ppl.
*passes around cookie jar*

Holy shite! The practice mode in this game's insane! It probably teaches you everything you need to know!

By the way, I'm playing VF4 on the ps2.

Whenever my fiance uses Aoi's +++ then a low throw, I can throw escape her +++ but I can't seem to escape her +++. Are there certain throws in the game that are unescapable?

Damn, Yu Suzuki's mad. VF4's so input crazy.

 

u can escape all throws
APART from catch throws.

Catch throws execute alot slower than a normal throw

for example, akira's f,b+p+g is a catch throw
u cannot escape it
but u can sure enuff feel free to hit akira!

 

yah n that

 

I am aware of this CreeD, but it seems to be left out of every description given to someone trying to learn how to break throws. I just wanted to get the question out there so people might remember to give that little reference when answering in the future.

 

It should also be noted Shinobi that if your opponent goes for a ground throw that you only have 1 opportunity to break it. For characters like Jeffrey, Wolf, Aoi, and Goh this can create a cool guessing game against opponents who like to lay too long or get caught in certain GT setups.

You should be able to escape that as well. Your input must be off a bit. Remember, you must press down-back ( or depending whether you're facing right or left respectively) +++.

 

see, and I knew that you knew that, and played along in your little asked-and-answered game.

but you KNEW that I knew that you knew that, didn't you?!

If that doesn't help it stick in the dude's mind, nothing will.

Whaa!? Are you saying that it's not legal to perform multiple throw escapes vs mid throwers?

 

Ground throw = throw against an opponent who is knocked down/grounded.

Low throw = throw against crouched opponent.

Multiple escapes for low throws are allowed, but for ground throws you are only allowed one. Since the characters with ground throws have 2 ground throws, that means you have a 50/50 chance of breaking them.

 

Umm... What do you mean ground throw capable characters have "2" ground throws? I saw those characters only have ++ in the practice mode. Then again, I am still using non-evo VF4 so you are referring that a new ground throw command was distributed to the ground throwers?

Ack, another question please: For escaping multi throws, is it still the same principle as inputting the last direction?
For example Aoi does her 360++, then ,++ so to escape I input ++?

 

This is in reference to VF4 Evolution.

Some characters such as Jeffrey, Wolf, and Goh have the option of ++ or ++ to instigate a ground throw. This gives you the option of trying to break either one if someone attempts a ground throw on you, but you can only attempt to break 1 of them. So if your opponent does ++ and you try to break it with ++, then his throw will succeed. In effect it's a 50/50 guessing game.

Escaping multi-throws is still the same.

 

Is it wise to apply these mindsets to a reversal? Can I input two or three reversals at once?
