Say you pressed toward just before when you actually should have (by accident, obviously you wanted the headbutt), but you keep holding it down. You drum fierce and strong when you should have, and since you’re still holding toward, those could count as throw commands.
Something else I’ve been wondering about is, if you hold down-back with Blanka or Honda and then press up-toward simultaneously with fierce-roundhouse, which special move will you get?
T.Akiba did an exhaustive test of overlapped inputs for special moves:

It doesn’t cover throws, but I’m pretty sure for overlapped inputs, special moves take priority over throws.
EDIT: Master Bigode, you are a quick one.
Thanks, guys.
oh hey, how did I miss this?!
I was starting to get concerned that Hyper Mania had replaced X-Mania this year
Can’t wait for the DVDs 
If you held back long enough to have charge, then pressing forward+punches will get you a headbutt. If you didn’t hold back long enough to get charge, you will get a throw.
If you held back long enough to get charge, if you do something to lose you the charge for the headbutt (go to neutral too long) then press f+P, you will get the throw. But in a regular match with someone with decent execution I’m having a hard time thinking how you’d get the throw on accident.
Besides, if you headbutt someone you just wanna ochio shenanigans! :looney:

I’d prefer 3on to 2on. Order has so much weight in the latter. Still awesome news.
awsome i hope tga host st quilfyers
I’m taking the next Greyhound out. :tup:
So I’ve been trying to get this info for like a month now.
What is the proper tourney speed for the Dreamcast version? Turbo 2 or turbo 3? I read that the arcade uses turbo 3…but since there’s some combos that don’t work on it, I’m unsure.
Don’t want to practice on the wrong speed.
Ubersaurus - Most people use Turbo 2 or Turbo 3, but there really is no set standard. As long as you practice using one of those two speeds, you should be good. (It’s not that hard to switch between the two.)
You just made my day!! <SMOOOOCH>
Back to the old school. F’ console and f’ AE.
yeah i agree…
What are the odds of it going to 3 on 3 for the SBO? That would make things much easier to decide on teammates without having an anxiety attack. Also what happens if 1 or more persons from a specific team cannot attend? How many teams will qualify? Are there going to be more than 1 qualifier per location?
what does this mean?
it means arcade ST is king
Mikado lost their lease. ;_;
Ehonda - SBO is using the different format for SF2, I guess, to contrast themselves with X-Mania. 3 on 3 is definitely preferred by players. It looks like Choi deleted a message above? heh If he’s still the liaison (along with Chie & Andy @ TGA) he’ll be the one with the answers to your Qs.
Noooooooo!!! Say it ain’t so!! :sad:
That was my bad. I was staying at his place two weeks ago, and I accidentally posted under his account.
I’m a little confused does this mean that there will be no SBO qualifier here this year? Also who else goes (countries) besides the USA? or is it exclusively a USA vs JAPAN thing? Who is Mikado?
Mikado is an arcade in Japan. They hold several tournaments through out the year. Unfortunately, the just lost their lease. Meaning, no more Mikado Rambat Tournaments… :sad:
