13f isn't much if there's several frames of latency.
Well, 13f is juuuuust breaching on reactionable range, but the thing is, if I think there is a 50/50 throw/low mixup, I can put out my throw break on frame 12. This means you have to do you low to hit me at frame 12, or I am still blocking. Well, if you put out your low so late as to catch this, that means I could have jabbed you out. This takes alot of power away from the attacker in the throw situation.

There's not a lot of Low or throw situations in this game to be honest. The characters who do have a low or throw situation have command grabs, so your jab won't work and you can't throw escape. Your guessing game instead becomes "Short Hop (throw), Block Low (Sweet or low hit), Block High (All Out Attack which hits over head)" Granted there is only one real grappler. Throws are weak in this game because you have so many options for pressure and mixup.
I mean someone point out to me if this is wrong, but that's what I see so much of. I use air throws to beat out air normals and to set up traps, but ground throws I just do it when I have someone trained to expect constant high/low pressure.
Latency matters more for reaction than in the situation I described.
ThiefArcsys likes to put 4f of throw invul coming out of blockstun in their games, so if the jabs are fast they probably do come out while still throw invul).
Yes, you can get around having a strong throw game by having a strong high/low game, 3d games often do this. I just tend to prefer games with really strong throw games. Actually MvC3 also has a piss poor throw game too.

Fuck Score Attack in this game, and fuck the achievements tied to it. I've been as far as the fifth fight, only once, with one character. Beat the whole thing with every character? Go straight to hell.
Yeah I hate it and have not done much. It is basically a test to find out what gimmicky setup works.
Also it does not feel like ou are ever grow I vuln on the ground in this game.
Looks like Thief's batteries are running low.
Heh, I liked that comic series quite a bit.
