The Return of the Guard Break

While normally you can't throw an opponent that is just coming in off a snap back or character death, if you hit them first, it clears that state and you can now throw them.

Phoenix=Worthless now?

@Damie904 She just has to be more careful coming in. You can tech a normal throw and pushblock most moves that would put them in block stun. If someone found a set up with an assist into a command grab, she'd have to do a 1-frame reversal between the block and grab, or as she enters.

@Cauldrath So Spencer/Deadpool/Other angled assist + something like Haggar's anti- air grab?

[Cauldrath]

@Masasoul Deadpool's assist seems to leave them in block stun for too long. Spencer's Wire Grapple requires you to stand pretty far back when you call him, but you can dash up and go for the throw. It looks like it could work, but I couldn't get the timing right since I don't really play either of these characters. Magneto's Hyper Grav seems like it might work, too, but, once again, the timing is really tight. The nice thing about those assists is if they don't block, you can combo them.

[wuzzuuuuuup]

Air tick throws?

Mahvel you so crazy.

[fireguysith]

can't you just tech break the throw?

@DeathByPoke

trish round harvest while they are in the air, raw tag out> throw.

or assist> throw.

just like mvc2  guard breaks are just option selects...but instead of them flipping back and you double jump throw, you are supposed to hit confirm the jumping light attack into a combo.

Also pushblocking in the air will just make you sit in the air longer to be thrown

@EvolutionXRev what are you talking about? push block solves EVERYTHING!!!!! <---Sarcasm lol

you could block then attempt to tech or straight up reverse. just watch for the move they throw out. if its a light attack you pushblock with little to no problem afterwards

[xero18]

@OcTix they probably werent blocking

[OcTix]

Command grabs work though correct?

I have done Hulk's grab on incoming opponents before

[puroresuraa]

Combofiend did this at Final Round XIV, if anyone noticed

dude you always have the most helpful videos..

Balanced way to handle a balanced character. Just because people didn't understand every mechanic perfectly before doesn't mean their existence wasn't intentional or there all along. Good find.
