Chun-Li's Throw on X-Box

[typetenchi]

This is going to sound really scrubby of me. I know this. If you have something dumb or insulting to add go ahead but I can't really take it anymore which is why I am asking.

Ok. I really didn't know where to put this but it feels like it only occurs on XBL so I figure this is the most reasonable place to put this question.

I really feel like there is some kind of property to Chun-Li's throw that I don't know that maybe you guys would know. (Maybe it's a Xbox only thing?)

Anyway, on a few occasions while playing against Chun-Li really strange stuff happens when she throws me. I mean insanely strange things.

Here is something that seems to happen to me once every .... maybe 30 throws.
I'll be cornered. Chun will do a c.Lk, walk up, throw. So I see the throw coming a mile away. I wait for the blockstun to wear off. I try to tech the throw. My throw whiffs while Chuns throw lands.

So I'm sure someone would say:
"Well Tenchi, your timing is just fucked up"

Ok fine. Lets keep going.

Ok. So I'm Ken. I do the basic c.Lk > c.Lp > c.Lk xx SAIII.
Strait forward right?
Well for some random ass reason, Chun throws me mid combo. Usually after the c.Lp. This has happened to me about 3 times.

So maybe someone would say:
"Well Tenchi, It's probably lag. Your opponent is probably mashing throw and somehow lag kicks in"

Yeaaa... ok. Sure... I suppose.

So now for the reason I wrote this thread.
My Ken vs Chun.
Chun walks up, c.Lk, then tries to throw.
From point blank range I do a c.Mk which CONNECTS.
In the middle of the hit I get thrown!

Ooook. So someone explain that to me?

I dunno. Maybe I'm being dumb. I dunno.
If someone can give me a good reason why this is happening to me on live that would be great. I'm just going to chalk it up to lag because honestly, I don't seem to have this problem in my local arcade.

Anyway...thanks in advance. Sorry if this was a scrubby thing to ask...

Play sober.


Seriously... the first example is probably just kara-throw getting the best of you ... 2nd lag.... and 3rd.... wtf???

[MaybeMemories]

her kara throw range is INSANE, like with hk its "wow, cool" but with MK its a real "WTF" and i think your combos do not connect which is why you get thown. Try cancel out properly.

and tr chunli's kara in training to get idea of her range so you dont have to be wiffing yours.
F.MK > THROW

also yes lag sometimes causes more block stun, for eg, if a chun does SBK and its blocked. she can go straight into a throw and only way opponent can get out of it is by a tech throw, doesnt work offline !!!

try regular jumping after getting ticked?

[Korin Zynn]

Its not just the range that messes you up but you could also be teching it too early. That is why you are whiffing and she is kara throwing you. As with the kick hitting her and you still getting thrown? I have no idea. Maybe you are just hitting cr. mk and doing nothing afterwards?

[Mechanica]

Yeah, have you played around with Chun-Li's karathrow before? It has sickening, sickening range. You're probably doing it a tic too early and getting karathrown because her range is like 3 times a normal throws range when she karas. That, and if you're talking about Xbox Live, I'd be even less surprised. The good thing is that, at least for me, when the connection is shoddy enough that I get bs thrown all the time, she generally can't hit confirm c.mk which is a much worse tool to be thrashed on by.

[HarmoNaz]

Chun's throw is god tier. The priority on that is like her back fierce.
