    I call stuff like Blanka's headbite a grab, but even then Throw is still a better term...as long as people understand. I also don't see how long range fighting is unfair...

    That being said Hakan is awesome, you all are haters. He is hilarious!

    "Throw" is fine with me. However, in Danish I've always heard it as "tag fat trick", which directly translated means something along the lines of "grab trick".

    So, I suppose I'm ambivalent.

    I don't really care enough to not call them "Throws".
    Boy am I an unfunny ass.

    Never ever called them a throw before. I think this is actually the first time I've ever seen them called throws. Grab is what I know and seems to fit the description well enough.

    No need to change the name. The second most common thing they're called are grabs.
