KryptonianSurvivors Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I always liked Nina Williams with her speed and chain throws. I noticed online whenever there are tournaments, I never see any Nina player use her chain throws. Is there a reason for that? If done correctly, it can do some decent damage. It seems like a waste to have that part of her move list and no one uses them. I'm a casual player so if any Nina experts or Tekken experts can explain why her chain throws are basically ignored, that would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonth Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Useless? I won alot of online battles by using her chain throws The lag can be a bit annoying when you input the commands, but her chains (at least nina's) have plenty of time to imput the next command, so the lag isn't really a problem (I repeat, at least not a problem for Nina, I think it's harder for King) Maybe some people doesn't want to use grabs because can be easily reversed. I used to do that everytime with Jin, I could even reverse those rare grabs from King and Dragunov Escaping a grab will be even easier on Tekken Tag Tournament 2, since your partner can sometimes help you to break free (and you can also do a grab with your partner, double team for the win lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KryptonianSurvivors Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 Thanks for the reply Jonth. I know the chain throws are far from useless. So, one reason they are not used in tournaments is they are easily countered. I know the pros just look for an opening to land their favorite combo and do damage. I just think players should look for openings to do a chain throw as well. I'm a beginner so I have a lot to learn. I have surprised people online with chain throws. Maybe that's the best time to use them...when your opponent does not expect it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the time when Tekken 3 came out, people used every strategy to take full advantage about the character's moves. Combos, specials, grabs, evades, etc. Right now everything's about juggling, now people just learn to juggle and that's all, they just launch an opponent in the air, do the juggle combo and ta-da, around 50% of the opponent's health is gone without a single chance to do something to defend Is just not fun when you kill the enemy with just two launches and alot of juggle But well... this is how Tekken decided to evolve. I just hope they develop some system to avoid juggling. BlazBlue did a great job developing the Burst system to cancel enemy combos at any moment and escape juggles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaCheetah Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Pro players break throws pretty easily, that's why they are so rarely used in tournaments. While it is a decent noob-killer-move, some can break it, even with lag. But they seem to be a good weapon online... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still learning Nina but this will force me to learn someone else as well....maybe Jin or Kazuya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how familiar you are with the game, but for chain throws, I could easily suggest you using King. He has the easiest, and the most chain throws. If you want to learn the juggling aspect of the game, use Paul. He has the easiest juggles in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
