Victor's grabs.

[Gabagool]

Is he bugged or something? Like whenever an opponent does one of his generic throws on me, i can't for the life of me break it.
Now granted i am a beginner and my breaks succeed at about 4 times out of 10 at best but compared to the rest of the roster i have NEVER been able to break one of Victors even at times when i swear to god i hit 1 at the exact moment the grab animation starts.

Help a scrub out :)

Do you know how throw breaks work?

If you are newbee it's hard to expect that you can visually determine 1 break from 1+2 break.

Usually victors spam 1+2 throws.

[Gabagool]

Okay.

Well that makes sense. I honestly didn't know that any of his throws were 1+2 breaks.
But i remember going into practice mode to practice breaking him and one of his throws that i was really struggling with was a 1 or 2 break but even still, i never could get the timing right against an actual opponent.

I heard that he is bugged, his break window is currently much smaller than the others.

Is that the throw where he throw you in the air teleport and slam you?

Every character including your has 1+2 throw and it's performed with uf+1+2.

To break 1+2 throws I highly recommend to set a certain button (like trigger) for 1+2 input since pressing buttons at the same time required 1 or two frames difference max. Otherwise you can't break throw.

I meant the B 1+3 grab.

Just tested it in training. I can break it easily. In an actual match however i remember going up against an opponent who was spamming this specific grab because he saw that i couldn't break it and i in turn waited for him to execute the grab so i could break it but no matter the timing, it simply did not break.

Look i'm not saying that the game is bugged or that Victor deserves a nerf. If others can break it then obviously it's not the game's fault but it's still a bit strange.

I wanted to ask the same question but from the other side.
I play Victor and bounce back and forth between red and orange ranks. People very rarely break my throws but when I play Kuma people break like 80% of them.
His throws also seem to have oddly long range.

So I also wonder why my throws (1+2 and generic ones) seem harder to break when I play Victor.

I've seen people calling him bugged before so i guess we'll just have to wait and see what the first patch says.

[Azor]

I've seen people claim all Victor throws are 14 frames while other char throws are 20 frames, i.e. his are much faster. I saw that on Twitch chat so take it with a grain of salt.

I've also been hearing there is a bug with his throws, it may be true.

Its bugged, there are lots of broken stuff in the game. These things used to be the jank you got in the arcades now its direct to homes. Welcome to QA.

I can say that counter hit throws have shorter break window than normal hit so maybe you just was mashing while thrown?

[stinkfist]

counter hit throws cant be broken in t8

Yes they can.

[willy bammy]

Victor's throws are bugged, their break window is 6 frames shorter for whatever reason

Only if they counter hit armor or hit after blocked rage art.

Otherwise break window just becomes way smaller.
