"I can understand getting throw because I'm running right next to them like an idiot, but are you saying I can't even jump in on my opponent without being thrown? How am I supposed to open people up?" Fear not, brave attacker. "Well that's great" you're thinking as an attacker. It's going to get counterhit by their jab or correctly spaced Slash and it's going to hurt. You should be absolutely sure they're close enough to be thrown because if they're not, a Heavy Slash is going to come out. There is one very important rule to understand when doing this though: know what the range of your throw is. You'll start to see when people are getting way too close to you and when you're coming out of blockstun in a prime time to throw. Working out when to throw is very much something you'll learn by playing the game more. Likewise, if you ever see a jumping normal miss because of bad timing or poor positioning (such as it whiffing you as they try to cross you up), then that's a perfect time to throw them. However, if a jumping normal comes out too early or too high in the jump arc, then you'll be out of blockstun before they can jab you to lay on the pressure. Only jump Dusts have recovery frames upon landing (which means you can absolutely throw them if you block it).
Guilty gear xrd revelator character strong normals how to#
Guilty Gear throws are an incredible tool that will frustrate every single newcomer to the game until they learn how to use them, and how to fight them. On defense it means that if the opponent is overextending themselves while pressuring, you can completely turn the tides by knocking them down and starting your own pressure. In offense this means that every character has an effective attack/throw guessing game they can put the opponent in. If you press forward/backward and Heavy Slash (6H or 4H) and are in throw range, your throw will be whatever the other guy's pushing. Silly metaphors aside, throws are 0f attacks. Scissors so fast that they can cut rocks in half. Guilty Gear's scissors came from the same factory as Street Fighter 2's.
Scissors (Throwing) beats Paper (Blocking) Rock (Attacking) beats Scissors (Throwing) Do you remember that post about fighting game basics I wrote where I encouraged people to learn the genre with Fritz mirrors? Let's look at that core Rock/Paper/Scissors I said offense and defense starts with again: The most oldschool design decision in Guilty Gear is the throw. He likened it to Samurai Shodown's weapon clashes.
The director, Daisuke Ishiwatari even remarked that he put that system in so new players can become accustomed to dealing with strange little situations that make you play differently due to chance. Xrd most definitely carries this mixture of old and new by allowing Roman Cancels to slow down time while also including a mechanic where if moves clash they will sometimes cause the situation to return completely to neutral but the first hit of any combo has like quadruple the hitstun for the next 8 or so seconds. On the newer side you have a variety of ways to use meter depending on the situation and a great deal of movement options. On the older side of things you have situational combos based on your positioning and late-90s systems like Instant Blocking. Its sequel and updates then carried on through the relative drought of 2D games, making it a bridging point between old and new design philosophies. In other words, near the very end of the 2D fighting game boom. Guilty Gear's design is an interesting melting pot of systems and ideas.
