Description
In fighting games, a 'Throw Reject Miss' occurs when a player attempts to counter or escape a throw move but fails to do so. Throws are typically powerful moves that can bypass an opponent’s guard, making them a critical aspect of gameplay. To counter a throw, players usually have a small window of time to execute a specific command. Missing this window results in a 'Throw Reject Miss,' leaving the player vulnerable to the throw and often at a significant disadvantage. This mechanic adds a layer of strategy, as players must not only anticipate their opponent’s throws but also execute precise timing to counter them effectively.
Examples
- In 'Street Fighter V,' if a player tries to escape a throw with a tech but mistimes it, they experience a 'Throw Reject Miss' and get thrown by their opponent.
- In 'Tekken 7,' a player pressing the wrong button combination to counter a throw results in a 'Throw Reject Miss,' allowing the opponent to complete their throw move successfully.
Additional Information
- Practicing throw escapes in training mode can help improve timing and reduce the chances of a 'Throw Reject Miss.'
- Some characters have unique animations for failed throw escapes, adding visual variety to the gameplay.
