So how do you escape throws?

[6ARAKIN's strongest soldier]

I'm having a good time online right now that the crashing is fixed, but I always wondered, how do you escape throws? That is the only thing I struggle with.

1 for back throws and 2 for front throws

Edit in case you do not know X is 1 and Y is 2 you can also tech normal throws with the throw button, but not front throws

What would the buttons on an Xbox One controller be?

How do you mean "escape"? Like stopping an opponent from throwing you?

Exactly what he means, he is using the correct terminalogy.

Fair enough, I guess I still don't know all the proper terminology for fighting games yet.

No problem it gets time to learn then, but then it becomes common knowledge that can be applied to all other fighting games. Cheers and hopefully you are having a good experience with the game (Patch broke my FPS :( )

There are two ways to stop an opponent throwing you and one way your opponent can stop it from happening.

Duck. You'll get thrown when you were sure you were crouched, it's that instant where you get up from being knocked down. Even if you're holding down when you get up from being knocked down, you stand up then crouch. You can get thrown then, it sucks. Deal with it.

You press an attack button at more or less the same instant your opponent presses the throw button. The throw will start, but you will both push each other away.

Your opponent lands the throw but presses the EX power up button. Throw is cancelled. Your opponent gains a bar of meter (I think?).

I though it burns a bar of meter when you EX a throw?

I'm not sure, it's just conjecture. Why would it do that though? You get no damage from the throw, it goes back to a status quo and you lose a bar of meter?

I think it explained it in the tutorial but ♥♥♥♥ going back to that.

[IRNoob23]

My guess is that maybe you're supposed to follow up with your own combo (as though your opponent were "stunned" for a split second?), but that might be wrong...

This is bugging me now heh. Going to test...

You lose an EX meter when you EX a throw. Ducking in this game prevents you from being thrown though you CANNOT be blocking. 1(X) is for back throw and 2(Y) is for front throw.

@IRNoob23 thats exactly what its for a throw does 12-15% damage an EX throw can land you a potential 30-45% combo.

So you could still get thrown if you duck and block at the same time?

Yes you can indeed I'd add you on steam to practice and show you fundamentals, but the patch ♥♥♥♥♥♥ my performence for this game.

Also ducking in this game wiffs most projectiles, as most projectiles are high, but as soon as you block you take chip damage. Example with this is Full auto jaqui, kung jin, sub zero, cassie cage. There are some MED projectiles aswell though such as Jax Heavy Weapons rockets and Kano's knives.
