Kara Throw Tech (2.0)

[Kjam]

  

As of GGST 2.0, it is possible to perform a kara throw tech OS that theoretically lets you attempt a throw tech and then PRC on whiff (something that is not usually possible as of GGST 2.0). In the below clip, you can see that performing 4/6D + Taunt on the same frame causes Sol to taunt, as Taunt has higher priority than throw in-engine.

 

 

 

This is where things get weird: performing this kara cancel bestows one singular frame of throw tech window to the character, allowing them to tech a throw that they ordinarily wouldn't be able to within Taunt. By performing this at the right timing, theoretically it is possible to OS normal throw entirely for a single frame by performing a throw tech kara into taunt and then PRCing the taunt on whiff. 

 

 

Let me reiterate; this applies for one singular frame. To make matters worse, the cancel does not use the usual 2F kara window you would expect from things like kara cancelling Sol's 6S or Potemkin's 6K. You have to press both inputs on the exact same frame or it will fail (either giving the full normal throw and being vulnerable to shimmies, or doing a regular taunt and losing to throws). Whether or not you think this is remotely worthwhile is up to you, but I'd commend you for trying it on defense at the least!

Not anymore, buster. ArcSys just announced they're patching it out.

Use it while you can ig
