1 - What is unusual about E.Honda’s regular throws with regards to their input?
He can do his 2P one while crouching.

5 - Who has the quickest foot-speed in SFA3?
Karin?

7 - Who has the smallest normal throw range in SFA3?
Sodom? Birdie’s 2P range is pretty lousy too.

3

I think Number 3 is because Karin can continue to combo after a throw in a VC

4

Kyo:

1 - Correct!

5 - not quite

7 - Two answers there. Which is it?

metalmike31216:

Juni can do the same thing, so I’m afraid that’s not a Karin-exclusive.

5

Sodom and plenty of other characters can.

As for 7, well, if you’re counting both throws, it would be Sodom.

6

Sorry. I’m afraid that’s not correct.

7

IDEA THIEF! Expect to hear from my lawyer. D:

8

5 - Speed to V-vega?

9

RagingStormX: It’s just… kinda happened. I didn’t mean to hurt you. But please, no legal action, okay? =)

suleman: Correct!

10

Counter hit standing Strong into Final TAP with Balrog?

11

Correctamundo!

And If you want even more damage, perform the combo when Balrog has “0” life.

And the rest? I figured you’d know more than your fair share of the answers.

12

That one just sorta jumped out at me.

Gen’s air kick super, Akuma’s air fireball super.

Charlie.

Do super moves count? Otherwise, only 1 really springs to mind.

13

Gen’s is right. The Akuma one only works on the Saturn version, I think. The answer I was really after was E.Honda’s Level 2 Headbutt Super.

Correct.

No, Supers don’t count. And neither does Dhalsim’s Yoga Flame.

14

#13. Air grab dp, idk

#19. Rose lp absorb, Gief banishing fist, Rolento’s knife, Cody’s rock and knife throw

15

Correct!

I should have been more clear in my questions. Though I can accept the Rose and 'Gief ones, the Rolento and Cody answers are moves that I would place under the “fireball” category, sorry.

16

Interesting thread :> my additions …

[06] Yoko iirc (i’m ashamed to know this lol)
[11] sweep should work
[12] maybe some weird shit like anti air xx demon, then dp ^^
[13] that can only be her soul throw, as reversal
[14] apart from doing a bit more damage once, no clue
[16] you haven’t excluded meaties so it should be more than 4 :stuck_out_tongue: Rose and Cammy/Juni can do it (Juli can’t follow up properly), probably Mika too ? (s.HP), Ryu hop kick/elbow -> VC could also work
[19] Sak can bounce off of fireballs with dp K (not sure if it negates it though), does Juni’s/Dan’s pushblock count ? :B
[20] was it holding LK + HP until the round starts ? something like that …

17

then it must be mika’s ass

18

You should be proud. That’s from one Mika player to another. :woot:

Yep. Correct.

No, siree bob.

Yep.

Why, you crafty little. All the ladies you mentioned are correct, even if some are not very practical. Sadly, Ryu’s T+Fierce does not stun for long eough to link a VC. Believe me, I’ve tried.

Sakura’s Drop was the move I was after, and no one even nominated it. Perhaps it’s not that well known, or perhaps it’s my poorly worded question. :confused:

Bingo! Nice.
