CvS2 Air Throw Exhibition Guide

Game Version: Capcom vs SNK 2 / Dreamcast / Japan / 2001
Soundtrack: New End Original - Weary Progress

This video showcases every air throw in CvS2. Hopefully you will find some of these setups clever and amusing. Since all air throws are instant, it can be difficult to see exactly what is going on in some of these clips. This guide explains each scenario in detail. As always, everything was performed using a standard Dreamcast pad without any assistance, using the Training Mode Dummy's Record feature whenever an opponent action was necessary.
