if throws were unblockable, it would make a huge difference in gameplay, as it would force players to be more offensive, instead of hanging back and blocking everything

I agree. Throws should definitely be unlockabale. The ability to reverse them and throw the enemy if they try to throw you would be good too.

It will be to much like a action aventure game so I disagree,you as a fighter should learn how to use the throws and you shouldn't just bye throws to have the advantages.

I think it'd be cool if throws would be unblockable, and when the opponent tries to throw you, you cn counter and throw him instead, by tapping the throw button and another button. It'd add something interesting to the game

I think a few of you misunderstood... the topic says unBlockable not unLockable...

I also agree they should be unblockable. It made me really mad in DA when all the computer did was block and you couldn't do a thing about it. Besides that's the whole point of a throw. To get back at the block type characters.

I think they should be unblockable too. Isn't that the case in the classic MK games? If someone is blocking you can run up to em and throw them. I think it should return to thatgrin

Yeah lets have a bit more classicness in MK since some classic moves are returning.

I'd like to see more use of the throw, so reversing them sounds good to me.

I agree, unblockable but reversable.
Speaking of throws, I think the throw oriented fighting styles should have string throws.

That is if you are playing with Scorpion. And I do like the idea of throws being linked, but not into another throw. A throw linked into a stomp to the head would be pretty cool.

I agree. In every other fighting game the threat of a throw forces players to be on the offensive. It kept the pace up. Why throws were blockable in MKDA is beyond me.

And yes, throws should be reversable or at least escapable.

If you think about how it applies to reality in a match,...

If a guy holds his arm out to block a punch, that in no way means that you can't grab that arm and give him a good toss.

Blocking Throws is very unrealistic.
I don't remember the last time I went to launch my little brother and his raised arm stopped me...
grin

So blocking throws should be out.

Like many of you have said, throws shouldn't be blockable but they should be breakable. Perhaps by using the universal combo breaker. wink Timing would be a factor, I'm sure.
I'm sure most of you have played MK3 arcade and know just how cheap the CPU is with throws. wink

hmm, unblockable but reversible... that might be better. Regardless, an opponent attempting to throw you should force you into something more interesting than hanging back and blocking
