well thats anything in DOA. if you get caught jabbing when i throw out a crusing launcher its gonna hurt. honestly throws are one of the safest things you can do since the most you'll usually get is stunned or launched bu your opponent is surprised by it so they cant get a full juggle.
its interesting if you compared our normal characters throws to other games grapplers they could play as grapplers. you have characters like Eliot doing launching throws,frame advantage throws, high damage unbreakable throws
True.... but getting Caught Throwing is the worst.... getting caught Holding is 40% loss of health at best..... getting caught holding is 50% loss of health at best...... but getting caught Throwing is easily more than 50% loss of health.
Not to mention for some inexplixable reason Tina has a much harder time getting throws than Kasumi or Jan Lee and they aren't even grapplers.
