Kind of. If you are standing and enter the throw command at the same time as the other guy, then the result will be a tech (either you teching him, or vice versa). However, if you are crouching you will get a short instead. If done at the same time, the throw will beat the crouch short. For you to get a tech, you have to hit it during the tech window, after the throw becomes active.
The longer the opponent’s throw range, the riskier crouch teching is. Like mike said you basically have to tech after they’ve input the throw. If you are standing and trying to throw you’ll either throw tech or throw him. Or lose to a throw bait. Hahah. But yeah during a lot of blockstrings you can be surprisingly careless with mashing on low throw tech. Obviously yes there are frame traps to beat it, but I know I’ve HEARD my opponent mashing throw tech, and I go in for a counter-hit bait/frame trap and I just get thrown or poked by low short. Especially by adon because he is a bitch with a kara-like throw without actually karathrowing. (He also HAS a karathrow on top of it.)
It’s always great to read your opponent like a book and fail to capitalize.
Yea, I’m one of those people that just mash option-select throw during blockstrings and pretty loudly at that lol. I will try to improve and read my opponent a little more carefully. I guess like you guys said, in some situations, you would rather get thrown than get hit with a buff-ass combo… but people shouldn’t be afraid of the throw, they should be afraid of the mixup that comes after the throw.
I just like hearin the words, “nice FUCKING break,” either from my opponent or somewhere in the crowd, and that way i don’t have to worry about getting gore-tex’d. ESPECIALLY with Cody. He has nan wakeup options. It’s like block, or ex bingo.
:razzy:
Don’t forget that this saturday is the deadline for characters.
Ejdge and Jaredpill, I need to know what’s going on with your team. I heard that Jaredpill was there last Saturday, but since I’ve never met the dude I have no idea what he looks like.

is it possible to ENTER tournamentwars this late? i don’t know if i’ll be able to because i always work on saturdays, i was just curious haha
I just want to chime in about how fucking evil Adon’s throw is. That thing is ridiculous.
It was hilarious to see the hit box video of adon’s throw. Most characters throw range ends at their feet while adon’s starts at his outside foot lol
Three weeks into the season of a 2-man team league? If there are people who signed up on time (like you’re supposed to) still looking for a teammate because their original partner dropped out, then possibly. I highly doubt it, though.
In gimpy’s defense, I had “earned” his desire to play SSFIV after the deadline happened at Sakuracon in April.
There’s a chance of a team dropping, so there might be a chance for someone to fill in for them, if I were to that, they’d have to take that teams current record though which is 0-3.
I’m still waiting on them to reply. Edjge, and Jaredpill what’s up?

Just watched the chemical love v the business set. GGs you guys, sad I missed the hype irl.
Uploading the last bit of videos I have:
Turtle Bait Stunnaz vs. Hanz & Franz
The Goons vs. Team Salt
HNIC vs. Team Salt
I believe that’s all the matches from the first half of last week.
Remember that the deadline for characters is due on the 22nd. I will only be taking requests before that deadline.
Cermaic Sugar I have you down as switching out T. Hawk for Abel.
I should be at the Dojo tonight asking those that haven’t given me characters (or entry fees) who they are playing and for fees.
I dunno if SRK ate up my post or something or what, but I swear I already posted this:
Frank, please change my SSFIV characters to T. Hawk and M. Bison, and my HDR characters to Boxer and Ken (My teammate is using Ken too, is that okay in the rules? If not, I will keep T. Hawk)
Oh yeah, Frank, can I get Honda/Ibuki for 4 instead of Honda/Guy?
I’d like to change my characters as well. If Rick is doing ibuki, though… I guess I won’t play her. Umm… akuma/dudley?
please finalize blacksteev for Tea Haywk and Dollseem (t-hawk and sim )
