I am sick and tired of the "you lose to throws and mids" quote in strive
People LOVE to throw this LK quote around like it means something, but anyone with half a brain should know it means absolutely nothing for strive. This quote comes from GBVSR, a game with 7 frame startup throws a 22 frame throw tech window, and a literal block button. With 29 frames to react to strike throw, it doesn't even count as a real mixup, it's just a skill check. Compare that to strive with it's 2 frame throws and 10 frame tech window and you can see that it really isn't the same at all.
To all the Ky players out there who think they're hot shit with their "fundamentals" for doing dashblock > cs // dashblock > throw while complaining that they have no mix: You're a chud and your character isn't bad, he's boring.
