Apparently tick throws are cheap? Really GamesRadar? REALLY?! I really like their podcast, but their content leaves something to be desired. Justin Towell, if I fight you online I will do nothing but throw you as ken over and over again while yelling obscenities, rest assured.

They have a point about many of the things on that list, but they're just being nubs complaining about throws.

I really hope the Championship Edition Pack fixes many of the issues listed.

Finally, their Character Select Screen pic did make me lol :)

Tick throws are practically essential for characters like da 'Gief.  A simple tactic like a blocked low jab, very slight pause into SPD is something that works wonders and is part of playing him.  Same with normal throws too.  What are they complaining about anyway?  They can imploy these tactics too!

i am totally down with throws, but man, when I played with a friend of mine the other day (wasn't you), he threw at EVERY POSSIBLE MOMENT EVER and it did make me want to dropkick a carriage full of babies. At times I'd even try to counter his throw to no avail, or I'd spam some weak attacks to try and stuff that, to no avail as well. Yet he was able to do that to me just fine... I about lost it.

looks like games radar is just a scrub

I'm guilty of throwing quite a bit...but only because I like to set people up for an ultra with it.  That being said, Justin Towell is a whiney little douche.

I'm fine with throwing... guess I have to be because I use Abel and I'll Tornado Throw your ass every chance I get.

What big fucking crybaby article. Mr Towell, grow a fucking pair.

He has 2 or 3 fair points, like about the 30-second, 1 round matches, but most everything else can be summed up with: "waaah, I can't stand it when people are better than me!" Point 1 is not jerks, just 90% noobs.
