"Because that is one of her safe moves. If an opponent immediately attempts a throw, she can quickly repeat the move or something else to cancel the throw. I use that whenever an opponent tries to do that to my Phase 4"
That is the message he sent me. My friend and I went to test it earlier to give him the benefit of the doubt and the guy is so wrong lol Any grab that was 4-8 frames were guaranteed. Which is obvious lol
"yes the move has negative frames, but most opponents I face are actually not going to throw punish. What I meant to say is that the opponent will let you repeat the attack or do something else because Phase 4 mainly strikes high and mid, so it's much easier to let her just attack again and hold her, because the phase 4 player can easily break out of a throw."
He clarified. He was replying to a comment I made on a YT tournament video. Since I asked why don't people grab punish her. Seriously though, people don't. Its really stupid.
