I love the way GG handles throws...   it was one of the main things that 
annoyed me about BB(Other was ground teching/rolls).  Going to neutral if 
throws "clash" would be fine tho.

I agree with Mike Z on throw teching in GG:
Throws in Guilty Gear are incredibly good.  I'm fine with that. 
 The throw tech window in GGAC+R was about 2 frames, too difficult to do
 on reaction.  I'm fine with that too, because having techs actually 
handled the case where both characters input a throw on the same frame 
by returning them to neutral.  Now, you both get 6H/4H or your 
option-selected other normal, so one character will win and one will 
lose, which does not accurately reflect the fact that both players went 
for a throw and both were able to throw.

In ST and VS if both characters throw on the same frame it's also random, but 
because the nature of how teching works, the loser usually techs out 
automatically and suffers less damage (unless it was a grapple like Blanka's 
bite).

In GG, it's completely random and can lead to OTG combos.

What I don't understand is how he can be against OS, but for 1-button throws 
which are inherently Option Selects.  I believe that throws should be a 
conscious, intentional move.  I don't care if they are zero frame, but if you 
go for a throw and miss, you should be left in a punishable state just like any 
other move.  1-button throws aren't a major issue on their own, but in a game 
where 50-50 situations are so common, I think untechable OS'd throws that lead 
to combos and then oki isn't a good design choice.
