you can duck throw attempts, so yes. Just tap down as if u were parrying low and youl be safe
Q’s dash forward or back is not safe and can be thrown hit low whatever, just don’t expect anything from it.
Q can duck throws tho I do it all the time and it annoys the shit outta people.
what?
Q can duck throws?
so thats what it is
i knew something was up with trying to throw Q. I just couldnt put my finger on it.
Thanks.
Wait, Q can duck throws? You can duck throws in Third Strike? It’s been about a year since I stopped playing the game seriously, I honestly don’t remember anymore, but I think these guys are pulling your chain. General rule, never trust anyone who plays at FFA.
I’ve ducked throw attempts from Ken a couple times, actually. I don’t rely on it much though, I just tech them.
I still don’t believe this “duck throws” stuff. I’ve seen things that looked like a ducked throw, but it was actually a range issue.
it works though it’s hardly worth the risk. w/ tech throws you can at least react a couple frames into being thrown, and you’re at least applying offense back. With ducks, you either hit it perfect or you eat shit. The frame advantage you get from ducking a throw is nice though.
The only way I could see ducking throws being true is if Q (or anyone) crouching hit box or possibly the transitional frames going from standing to crouching of their hit box was not as wide as their standing hitbox
Don’t see how hitbox width would matter here, since you can duck a throw right next to ur opp.
How about this, instead of theorizing about it, you guys actually try it?
seriously guys, do you realize what your saying? if Q could duck throws, why would anyone ever tech a throw? if that was true, Q could sit on his ass all day and get hit by nothing but jump ins and over heads. he would seriously be top tier.
Indeed.
When he says “duck throws”, I think he means that you can duck it just as they execute it, but that you can grab a sitting/ducking opponent? Maybe? I don’t know if it’s true or not, I’m just meddling!
I feel like testing this. TO THE LABORATORY!

It’s a krec file so you’ll need nfba to view it.
To Randomness, ducking = TAPPING down. Not SITTING there crouched(wtf?). It’s the ducking animation that makes Q invincible to lp+lk throws.
ya exactly.
This might be a dumb question,but how do you do a close standing MK > Dash Punch? I can’t figure out how to do this while still holding the charge.
You just do it, The MK doesn’t change no matter what direction you press.
…well, it’s hard to just do cl.MK->Dash Punch on the spot. What I do is I hold down-back so I’m in the same spot but still charging back, then I do b.MK->Dash Punch. I guess the input would look like this:
Charge :db:->:l:+:mk:->:r:+:p:
I sometimes do this when I get cornered and the opponent is right next to me on wakeup, or when Urien attempts to do headbutt-throw on me in the corner.
Thanks a bunch. Are there any other situations this is effective in?
Outside of a jump-in combo, I’m not too sure. Those situations I listed are kinda risky themselves and only worth trying at least once. If you don’t have time to charge a move, then you’re better off doing cl.MK->Slaps.
