It is absolutely an air grab by DOA mechanics and Leon's is 100 times better than Rachel's is.

I'm...pretty sure that's not actually a thing. I mean, it is technically possible, but I highly doubt there's a situation where it's of any actual use besides trolling. If anyone can correct me on that, though, please do. I'd honestly love to see it used in an actual, practical manner.
Yeah, me too. I usually SS-cancel it (is it called that??) to lure out a hold and then punish that
You can't change the direction of Rachel's air throw to give you complete positioning control and throw people into walls, off cliffs, into dangerzones, or into breakable objects to get yourself a guaranteed launch into another air throw into the direction of your choice to go for another wall, cliff, dangerzone, or breakable object.
Leon's is definitely way, way better than Rachel's.

Which is why I hate fighting Leon on certain stages...hello 50% combos...
50%? How about Home? Hello 100% combos -_-!

It would be very cool though. Maybe for the next game if she return.
Leon's amazing environmental setups are so awesome that it's great to see them even if you're the one getting obliterated by them.
We need another stage like Home.

It'd be 100x better if either a) he could control directotion of standing version, or b) punish with air version. As is, only 25x.
There was a clip of her just jumping up and grabbing ryu out of his port. I imagine she can grab other aerials.
Not just that, I've flat out led people into a bare power blow by a good read/psyche out more than once lol.Yeah, me too. I usually SS-cancel it (is it called that??) to lure out a hold and then punish that
But that's only good for combos/setups.
I'm talking about how you can actually punish more with Rachel's, while Leons is restricted to only punishing holds, in which case, he loses the ability to control directions.
Leon lacks versatility, is what I'm saying. I wish he could grab aerial opponents when they are jumping/flipping/whatever, not just when they are being launched. They are at the right height either way so no reason not.
He doesn't even need combos to hit 50%...just hit you twice lol.

That's only in Home...I hope.
Well if DestructionBomb gets his way, it'd be in the Office stage too .
.
Very funny joke.
I believe you're referring to 236P+K T, which is actually a hit throw and not an air throw.
So use WRK as a punish intercept and then go straight into the air throw.
Leon's air throw is the most versatile in the game, lol

If it requires a setup, its not versatile.
Same reason I wish Milas mgp could be done from neutral. Only being able to do from feint makes it not even worth the hassle.
Anyways, all I'm saying is I wish Leon (and mila) had a real anti air grab.
2-in-1s are not set-ups. They're just extra buttons for the same effect.

Actually, funny thing. It is an air throw. It can connect regardless of whether or not the hit proceeding it does, and if you look at the move info stuff, it shows it as a throw with a 12 frame startup, if I recall. I initially tested it by seeing if she could do it from her PL without the strike connecting, and it works. Turns out it also works against jumping opponents, which resulted in this old gif.

Does it work on P4's ports, or other aerial flips/attacks? Wonder if that'd grab Lady T out of her flight.Actually, funny thing. It is an air throw.

You should be asking for more hit throws especially Goh Hinogami's hit throws. mid kick that stomps you to the ground whether it's hit or blocked. It's....so....Beautiful. O_O
Or a sliding throw, a stance just for throws, a hit that turns into a throw automaticaly when it connects, a hit that can become a command throw, wind throws, portal throws, magnetic throws....maybe I'm getting tad to excited at this point.
I'm just waiting to create the ultimate throw character the one who has everything. In our darkest time when strikers and jugglers rule the fighting game genre there will be one man(or women) who will arise to dethrone them. he will be the grappler messiah and he will be awesome

I highly doubt it. The only reason it worked on Hayabusa's tele-throw is because of how slow that particular move is, and the fact it's an OH. I personally can't see it being remotely practical, but if anyone can make it so, please show me. I want to see that work in a proper match.
