Like Gordon, I'm new to chain throwing. After one night I was able to figure out a rudimentary way of doing it, and I am interested in learning better ways.
The only one I can do consistently is Popo d-throw into Nana f-throw repeates, and I suspect that this is the easiest way (or at least, the easiest way for me) until I learn something new. I worked it out in my head like this:
On the initial downthrow, you want Nana to grab almost immediately after PoPo makes impact, but it feels to me as if she is just a few frames slower than PoPo when receiving commands so I have to compensate for that. You also want to walk her just a little bit in front of him so she is positioned right. After she grabs following the downthrow, I TILT WALK Popo forward, which begins the forward throw by Nana and makes it so that I dont do a dash grab with Popo, but that I'm in the right position for the grab when it happens. Also, it seems to me as if chain throwing is just easier when it is time for PoPo to regrab them, maybe because you have slightly better control over him. I would like to note that to keep repeating this cycle, I felt as if I had to pummel them once when it was time for PoPo to throw again after Nana did because a pummel would bring her back to him when she was too far behind to grab them.
My main goal is to chain throw to the edge and end with the ridiculously broken Nana fair, which seems to be working well for me and easy to do. My only problems with getting to that point are these:
1. I can only keep chaining until about 50% or so at best, and sometimes I can't do it enough to chain from the middle of a stage like FD to the end of it.
and
2. I don't know how to turn my chain throw around, so I need to position myself accordingly facing the edge a certain distance away so that I can rack up enough dmg but that I'm not TOO far away that I won't get them to the edge with my limited abilities, but any opponent can read through this really easily and not get put in a position where I can use my nooby chain throwing techniques for the Nana-fair kill.
I would also like to agree with Gordon that this is one of the first places where I've seen someone give either a visual or audible clue as to when the next part of the chain should occur. The video guides on youtube, for the most part, are NOT helpful at all because all they say is "grab this way then that way then this way then they die lawlllz". If I want to get to the moon, don't tell me the obvious fact that I need a rocket ship, teach me the necessary and integral parts of ASSEMBLING a rocket ship to reach my destination.
Sorry for the bad metaphor. And I apologize if I'm missing similar threads that talk about when to do what. Can anyone else suggest easier, lesser skill level CT's to pick up for now until I get better?
