Basic tutorial:How to break throws
When you play on matches,
it is very important
to break “throws”.
No matter how long
have you played TEKKEN,
for those who have
difficulty in breaking throws,
please read my article.
I won’t talk about
how to break throws,
I am writing this
for those who
“know how to break,
but can’t break.”
1. First of all, practice it!
To be frank with you,
what I can suggest you
for breaking throws,
is that “Practice it!”.
I know some players think
“I will be able to break them
as I play online games.”
I totally disagree
with this idea.
When you play sports,
do you think
you can be better
just to play games?
When you play tennis,
you need to practice
to hit the ball.
You practice
how to hit back
“slow ball”
“fast ball”
“spin ball”
etc.
And one day,
in games,
your body act
as you have practiced.
It is same as TEKKEN.
When I break throws,
I don’t think.
My finger or brain
reacts automatically.
It is because
I have practiced
breaking them.
I will show you
how to practice
effectively.
2. Step by step
When you practice
breaking throws
with Play station
or something,
I would like to
show you
how I did
to improve my
skill to break.
Step by step,
first try to
break throws only.
Normal throws
and Special throws.
You need to see
which arms are
coming to you.
In practice/training mode,
you can set up
to see the throws
randomly.
Personally,
I recommend Law
for practice.
First step,
only throws,
left/right/both.
And then add
Dragon dive(f+2+3).
This throw is kind of
special, because he
shows his foot,
not the hand.
And for the next step,
add
Dragons’s tail(d/b+4)
and
Somersault kick(u/f+4)
For Dragon’s tail,
you need to crouch.
And for Somersault
you need to keep standing.
It is very useful to
face with the mix up
situation.
For my next step,
I did against King as well.
He has special throws,
and also Leg breaker,
crouching kick(d/b+3).
You need to practice
until you react
without thinking.
3. Expectation
After you practice,
it is also important
to “expect” the throw.
For example,
when you fighting with King.
And let’s say King
is against the wall.
King will do Giant Swing
more than other throws.
For sure King will do
other throw perhaps,
but you need to
focus this GS will come to you.
Conclusions
My best advice for
breaking throws
is “Practice it!”.
Although the effort
seems hard and tired,
it will be effective.
Because you don’t need
to be afraid of throws
any more.
