I usually HAVE to mix it up. Due to the fact that our community is so tiny, depending on who i face depends on what I use. I tend not to throw at all tho, dont like it :/
In regards to being on the recieving end of a throw 9 times outta 10 I wont even bother resisting it, I'll push left click and hold space bar down after he's throw me so I can use recover immunity to smack him in the face. If I try to resist I often find 1/3 or more of my ki-bar just disappears.
Oh yeah, and block is your friend...especially if you playing on the spectator side (cant believe they fixing this bug...my frantic ESF experience is gonna be ruined
)
