Super Street Fighter 4 Throw Range Comparisons

Sweet!

wow I knew there was different damage on throws but.. Seeing how big of a spread thats nuts.

I never realised Guy did so much dmg on his throws...

Gen's throw range seems shorter than most. Maybe his light normals push back more than others. Be neat to see Kara throw ranges as well. Once again, Gen's Kara throw range is trash.

What throws are those tables about, though? Some characters have different properties for each throw, one having better range, the other dealing more damage. And combining the two (i.e. taking the highest value of the two for each column) wouldn't make sense.

There's also stun. Ryu's throws (according to frame data) have the same range and damage, but his forward throw deals more stun. And finally there's the distance it leaves you from the opponent, but this is harder to measure.

@#4 Nikon
Maybe I'm just too used to his range and under-utilizing other characters' throw potential, but I don't have much trouble with it. Just remember to use the back throw if you're not too close. Judging by the frame data, his back throw range is as good as Chun's (though it deals less damage than the forward throw).

Would be cool to add backthrow and stun rate to the table.

Nevermind the backthrow, lol.

@xXAngelBoyXx
Guy only does 130 dmg on his throws, it's not that great.

the lists aren't that off from each other, i mean at least most of the characters are in the same general area on the list

#3 I know thats Zangief damage, could you imagine Zangief moving at that speed?

Well, Makoto has weakest damage and range is one of the worst. I'm not surprised, though.

i hate vega

lol, Cammy has a Kara throw that put her throw at normal range. sad.

@12 Makoto's forward throw is pretty bad in both range and dmg output according to the table above, but it makes up for it by causing extra stun than most throws.

this just makes me even more sad... every time they post some new chart, guy is always at the bottom... so from on now, ill just look str8t for the bottom...

@ 3

guys forward throw does 130 dmg... that chart on the left is wrong...

the other thing i dont get about capcom is that y r u going to give characters that have the fastest walk speeds in the game more range on their throws.. i.e. vega, chun, and rose.... and not to mention they all have great dashes, forward and back.....

@Tankverso

Hahaha, I feel your pain. I main Vega, and I get the occasional angry message online. Honestly, however, Vega is not broken with these adcantages, he's a mid tier character as he should be, I think when you look at his tools and aspects as a whole, he is right where he needs to be, and is IMO a very good and underplayed character. But everyone thinks that of their mains, right?

@cloudstrife360

agree with you dude, I main vega too and have good speed, good throw range, and good kara throw,dont have great dash maybe long range but long recovery too, but even with that he is mid tier cuz low damage and 0 reversal that make 0 defense for vega and plus he has very low stun defense, anyway I think he is ok but need that ex ST viable reversal

@11 and 16
oh you're right, Guy's throw should be 130 dmg.
Damn you left table!!

Adon has greater normal throw range than that I swear. He imo seems to grab further than that of gen or cody from my experiences vs him.

@cloudstrife360

exactly, anyone who moans about Vega having this slight advantage is a pu$$y, lets face it, as far as the rest of vega's attributes he's pi$$ weak........However his speed evasive manouvers and throw range make up for it.
I also main Vega, the amount of flack i cop online is unbeleivable and this is coming from players using Sagat, Ryu, Balrog, if you're using these characters you don't have any right to complain about a loss. Imagine if Vega's Barcelona claw drop had no recovery after its blocked (like it did in SF 2 Turbo and SSF 2)Now when its blocked he does the little hop thing as he hits the ground leaving him open.
I'm sure there'd be morons online complaining that Vega's the best character or some complete garbage like that!

vega needs that and that drop claw is screaming ultra me . .. i agree with Ghost, @ Angel boy . . . guys grab is about the only thing that he has going for him on her, his grab is a small grab radius, with a extrememly nerfed walk speed, i Main guy and all the people with 8 and up walkspeeds are where tick throws are dangerous!, and any 1 like chun/boxer/Dictator have fast walk with a jab/short? in Alpha his walkspeed was right under Vegas!, but there was no dash, now his is horrible cause he has dash and Run, which has too much recovery? i could se 10 12 is pushing it, he has 17 recovery, and if you hit him its a counter unlike Fuerte?

I think Capcom gave Rose, Chun, Vega etc. fast walk speeds AND high range throws to make up for their absolutely TERRIBLE wake up/reversal games. For instance, Rose (my main) literally has no go to move to throw out on wake up. So if I get knocked down I don't have many options to choose from in terms of regaining control, I have to escape first or hope my opponent will make a mistake. While Chun and Vega have a slightly better wake up/reversal game than Rose, it's still very dangerous for them to get knocked down. Believe me I know how annoying it is to be repeatedly thrown, it's an essential part of Rose, Chun, and Vega's play style. No lightning fast SRKs for us lol

Guy Doesn't Have that and He Also Has a Horrible footspeed unlike all of the top characterss that are near the top I believe in Rose and Cody but if you walk slow you should have and exceptional foot speed mediator like a good grab range for Guy He has no Reliable wake up game either and His has to be 100 % fully committed he can't back out like even the bad SRK's and Even EX Soul Spiral can

adon has a great grab where is he
