VF4Evo Throw Escape Guide
=========================
Author: Drift++
Version: 1.0b for US VF4 Evo
Date: Nov. 17, 2003

Changes from 1.0:
Revised damage quotes
Changed some throws from normal to catch
Added Kage's back-turned P+G throw.

DISCLAIMER:  This guide is by no means perfect.  Accept it.
Most of the information here was gathered from the In-game command listings.  Other info,
mainly about catch throws, was taken from the command listings at virtuafighter.com

Much thanks to all of VFDC (extra to Myke).  I'm just a noob, throw me a boon.

Purpose:
  To detail the throws available to all characters and aid in the selection of appropriate
  high/low/ground throw escape directions.

  This guide does not detail how to escape character specific throw or catch throw chains.

Notation:
High Throw List
  Throw Command      Damage (Note: IR, stagger, switch, light down attack, catch, wall)

Escape List
f  : # of throws that escape with this direction (damage potential/wall damage potential)
df : "
d  : "
db : "
b  : "

Side Throw List
  Side throws are escaped with f/b P+G depending on which side your opponent is on.
Back Throw List
  Back throws (for the most part) cannot be escaped.  Simply don't let it happen. :)
Low Throw Escape List
  List of low throw escape commands
Ground Throw Escape List
  List of ground throw escape commands


Sections omitted where not applicable (characters with no low throws, etc.)

u,uf,f,df,d,db,b,ub  joystick directions (Hold if capitalized)

^-- means to perform this command during the execution of the pointed-to command (a throw chain)
