Cross ups and throws and technicals and command grabs

  1. What is the exact rule set that governs a throw attempt when someone crosses you up after doing a move. The move doesn’t hit and the person lands and gets thrown instantly.

This person is me. You land and have 2 frames of recovery and cannot tech? Maybe i am doing it incorrectly but i always get thrown after wiffing an air attack and landing.

  1. How can you stop getting command thrown? Like abels tornado throw? you have not got to be there? or can you jab him out of it? What about the ex version? That means there is 3 situations to consider when waking up to able? pffft

As far as I know, you can tech any grab after whiffing an air attack, I get caught with the grab often too, I guess because we’re just focusing on landing the crossup correctly and don’t react fast enough to tech the grab in time, you can test in training mode to verify. As for command throws, you can’t jab meaty command throws or command throws that are very fast (like Gief’s, he even has a 1 frame grab), ex tornado is invincible to attacks, but not throws.

If you feel like you’re going to get command grabbed, you can back dash and punish because command throws usually have a lot of recovery frames, or if you use a shoto, you can SRK if you have 2 bars to FADC and be safe on hit or block.

Lately I’ve been whiffing cross-ups a lot so i’ve been running into this too. I don’t know if it’s my spacing or timing of the attack or what.

If you’re like me, the surprise of completely whiffing the cross-up and not even getting a blockstun out of it is enough to throw me off. I’m already planning my next move after the cross up and then poof I’m on the ground wondering where the hell that throw came from. Maybe it’s just me, but I’m not fast enough to react to a whiffed crossup and immediately tech unless I was already planning to tech at that point anyway.

Jabbing out of it is usually not the best idea, especially on wakeup. His regular command throw is throw invincible, while his EX throw is hit invincible. In most cases, your best option to get out of any command throw is to backdash.

I’ve been hitting cross ups high but still getting thrown then I try to start my string
