Just finished collecting all the data and captured 400+ screenshots.
Here are the throw ranges in ascending order
Move Distance advantage compared

sagat 2
cammy 1
deejay, guile 1
ryu, ken, zangief/super 1
vega 1
zangief/lk suplex 1

When you slightly tap the stick, you usually move the character from 8~15 pixels / in game counter.
For example, sim will beat vega by 5+1+2+1 = 9 pixels. So you need to control his slide within that range to tick throw vega without worrying about getting counter thrown.
And since feilong’s 31 from point blank, if you tap 3 times away from him you’d probably be outside of his throw range.
Boxer’s mp is 10 pixels further away from his hp (1 tap).
Honda’s normal throw outranges Fei by 25, and yet Gief’s spd outranges Honda’s normal by 30…
Here’s another view of the same data
