I cannot grasp throws

[SKiV_]

For the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ life of me i cannot understand throws. Everytime i throw some one it's broken and im mixing up 1 2 and 1+2 throws but i cant break any. I under stand its pay attention to what hand or whatever but throws looks just like normal attacs to me and it just doesnt click. Any tips?

I think it's a guess game for 100% of normal people.
Tournament level players are not normal.

Throws are a bit bugged right now, apparently if you are pressing the correct button before the throw it doesn't break, so don't get too frustrated if you don't get them.

As for getting good at breaking them start a bit in practice mode, record a throw for the opponent and try to break it.

Most throws are fairly obvious once you get used to seeing them so don't worry too much if you confuse them with normal attacks at first.

King throws are a bit more of a guessing game so maybe search for videos about him in particular.

If you can't break them at all you can try ducking and punishing them, but in the long run it's better if you learn to break them.

there's no mixup anymore 1 or 2 will tech any standard throw left or right, only command throws have specific techs, look up what throw you are getting hit by and it will tell you the input to tech it, also could be you are just teching too slow.

crouch a lot when fighting kings. most spam their basic grabs and they don't hit a crouching player

if ya notice in a fight 90% to 100% of your throws getting broken, then you gotta leave that alone and try different strategy i suppose.

the situation can happen in Street Fighter 6 too where you might have fights where throws will always get broken or just about.

some people just don't get mixed

Its hard to break throws bc im pretty sure the window to break is even smaller than it was in T7. But the rule of thumb you have to pay attention if their grab is reaching will left hand out or right hand and break accordingly on reaction

another thing that helps is mind games, if your reaction isnt so good but you manage to break one throw chances are next time they will try to throw you it will be the other throw

it took me 2 days practice to memorize how to break throws in practice mode and you can learn all this with a simple youtube or google search

Teching throws is so easy i do it by accident most of the time, the game has a huge throw tech window, it is in fact double most other 3D fighting game throw tech windows, its comical how weak throws are in this game.

Thats great! I personally struggle with them still. Im sure coming of off anime fighter its very easy. Whats your secret just pure reaction?

Part reaction part prediction, once you pick up of throw habits or common scenarios where throw can happen they become easier to react too.

Great idea....until you start getting launched because you are ducking all the time.

Go look up PHIDX's tutorial on using training mode with druganov to break throws his method is the best way to do it imo.

it's entirely a learnable reflex skill. There are clear differences in the throw animations except for the few that are true 50/50 guesses

Can you actually recognise animations during fight and react with the correct break?

King's Giant Swing, has a 10f startup, looks like a 1+2 break (since it is a double handed grab), but is actually broken by pressing 1. Therefore, the best way to not get thrown is to predict which throw your opponent will use (command throw vs. generic), and then break the throw when it happens, or hard duck + while standing punish the moment you see the hands come out.
