See, I can kinda predict when a neutral throw is coming, but I'm always late when I go for the T button to break it. This is a much better way, because my finger is constantly on R1.
Why not fuzzy guard to shut it down completely? SS only works against linear strikes. If your opponent decides to do another 6T, you're getting counter thrown.
I have a replay with 5 Honoka hugs in a row, so I really wouldn't recommend sidestepping, unless you don't mind the counter damage. Do 334 or 33H to fuzzy guard.
