Throw Setups

[JamesChappell]

When do I use a throw my opponent for pressure, and how do I need to adapt for other opponents who kept using throws?

Depends on the situation and what the fight is like at the moment. personally, I would use mix ups between highs,mids and lows.(Have complete knowledge of your characters) if they start blocking a lot to the point they aren't doing anything. Just throw them, use the lows sparingly because you don't want them to catch on and duck quickly. As for them if they start running at you so they can grab you, duck. It's pretty much like reading the body language of a persons movements on what they're going to do.

I hope this helps, if not I'm willing to assist in a practice session(Not actual versus matches, but a practice room) to help you get the grab breaks.

You shouldn't have a setup for throws because your opponent will figure you out. Throws should be spontaneous, use them when you feel they won't expect it.

I will generally pull a grab out after a strong mid connects, example d/f+1 with A. king (+7 on hit) or d+1N4 and with that frame advantage i have time to enter the command for the giant swing. It's unlikely that someone will duck after getting hit by a mid unless you have used the set up before.

Actually Jac , throw setups against a strong opponent are very useful. Jaycee has some amazing grab setups , if you don't have the reaction time to break it then you're certainly fucked.
OP - You should practice frame traps with your character. Using safe moves with positive frame advantage and then followed with a grab will give you great pressure , but under no circumstance should you use the same setups back to back , you will get figured out and if you're going against someone like me , I will duck it and launch you. If you need to find out some safe moves with your character we will have some up eventually , but until then see the frame forum on Tekken Zaibatsu.

If you are talking about Jaycee ff1 or d,df1 into Mad Axes then people usually expect it

Dragonarse1: Those are AK's most common throw setups, i always have my thumb on 1 ready to break GS. 2,1 also.

Yeah it was only an example to show that after a strong advantage mid hit is a good time to pull out a throw.

True Ogre's arms are to damn hard to read compared to the rest of the cast. If you play him: just willingly throw, against him: I suggest just hitting 1+2 everytime you see a throw attempt to not get wanning mooned. You'll eat other grabs but its better than eating a full combo. It worked against nin, he ate 1 or 2 grabs instead of 1+2.

I love to use throws from BT but sometimes I just don't have the guts to try and pull it off.

Ff1+4 is one of heihachis worst throws if your opponent is male.

True, but it's still a powerful wallsplat compared to ff1+2
