Unlisted Throw Break

Wow, 4 pages in and still no correct answer to Wolf's DM /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif Catch throw escape.

Firstly, I apologise that in the Command List, this is listed as (defensive move) /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif, when it should just be /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif. This will be corrected in the next update.

However, the notes for this command state "Catch Throw depends on position." While this is somewhat cryptic, what it means is that the throw that results depends on where Wolf is in relation to his opponent:

<ul>[*]If Wolf is in front: /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif to escape[*]If Wolf is to the side: escape as per Side Throw escape rules (look up Throw Escapes in the Wiki if you don't know)[*]If Wolf is to the back: cannot escape![/list]

 

I did test it out Frash, and the side throw escapes follow the Side Throw Escape rule! What's funny is what you wrote also follows the Side Throw Escape rule as well /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

The way you wrote it didn't indicate that you knew this fact, so I had to connect the dots to make the connection, whereas you stated the rule like it was it's own unique escape rule set.

Just to be a little more explicit, the DM /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif can result in three different types of throw for Wolf, depending on where he catches the opponent.

1. Front catch
Damage: 50 pts.
Throw animation: looks like the last part of the KS where he tosses you in the arm lock.
Throw escape animation: same as the F5 throw escape.
Throw escape command: /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif or /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif

2a. Right side catch
Damage: 50 pts.
Throw animation: identical to the (right side) /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif throw
Throw escape animation: identical to (right side) /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif throw escape animation.
Throw escape command: /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif (if youu're 1P side) or /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif (if you're 2P side).

2b. Left side catch
Damage: 50 pts.
Throw animation: identical to the (left side) /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif throw
Throw escape animation: identical to (left side) /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif throw escape animation.
Throw escape command: /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif (if youu're 1P side) or /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif (if you're 2P side).

3. Back catch
Damage: 70 pts
Throw animation: identical to (back) /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif throw
Throw escape animation: none
Throw escape command: none

Just an additional note when testing: If the opponent is standing idle, and you only do a single DM with /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif, you will always get the Front Catch version. That is, a single DM doesn't move you to the side enough. If you do two DMs though, you will get to the side.

Having said all that, there's something new to me that I found while testing -- you can actually multi-throw escape to beat the Front and Left/Right side catches with a quick /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif~/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif. If you can multi-throw escape then you don't need to be too concerned with which direction of Wolf's escape!
