yeah Ryu and Hayate's throw launches are pretty badass and definitely rack up huge damage on hi-counter hit if the proper juggles are used (not to mention the wall damage/danger zones). Part of the reason why I use Hayate.
it's not so much the launcher throws that scare me, it's the throws into guaranteed critical hits that scare me the most. hayates 236 , helenas 214 throw, alot of pais' command throws, throws that lead into guaranteed stun which can be converted into major damage are WAY scarier than launch throws or throws that do big damage on hi counter imo
In my opinion it is one of the less scarier throws(unless wall is involved), but I don't really know what is guaranteed after it, however, Ryu's 46T is a lot more scarier in my opinion.
