Throw Escape Chart

The chart below is from the Virtua Fighter 4 Blue Book. For each character's throw listed, the result of the throw escape is shown in the context of the Escapee's options. Comments are included where appropriate.

The values in the Result column are as follows:

nitaku	The term nitaku is Japanese for two-choice. It is used to denote the opportunity for either a fast attack or throw. Specifically, the opponent must guess between defending against an attack or throw. As a result of a throw escape, the escapee has enough advantage to force a two-choice guessing game, but neither the attack nor throw are guaranteed.
perfect nitaku	As explained above, the escapee has sufficient advantage to force a hit or throw guessing game. However, what makes this perfect is that if both sides attack at the same time, the escapee will win, and a throw is possible, but not necessarily guaranteed, if the thrower decides to guard. If the escaped throw recovers in 8 or more frames, then perfect nitaku allows for a guaranteed throw.
counterable	A guaranteed counter attack after escaping the throw.
down	After the throw escape, the Thrower recovers on the ground.
even	After the throw escape, it's a 50/50 situation.

Some footnotes:

• All frontal + throws are escaped with +, and all frontal [commands]++ throws are escaped with [last command]++.
• All frontal low throws are escaped with [last command]+++.
• All side throws are escaped with or ++. The direction is determined by the side your opponent is on.
• Back Throws and Catch Throws (some exceptions) cannot be escaped.
• If you consult the Command List, the frame difference in the Guard column of a Throw entry indicates the amount of frames you have in your favour (or against you) after escaping the Throw. This can be helpful in determining what attacks or throws, if any, you can counter with.
