7F Gio player here. Have a few questions about the game

  1. Time an attack just as they wake up and and they wont be able to jump.(there's a mission in mission mode "meaty attacks". https://glossary.infil.net/?t=meaty
  2. Definitely, its just that you cant react to when they land because by then its too late. If you see that they're going to miss you swing at them a bit before they land or try to catch them with a low as they cant block crouching for a brief moment after landing.
  3. Unfortunately it depends on the move and isnt really listed anywhere but most characters have 1 aerial normal that crosses up you can try testing it out in training room. (for Gio its j.K and your hop kick special)
  4. You cannot break comand throws, the only way to dodge them is to make yourself unable to be thrown(airborne) with a jump, backdash, some special moves or a specific normal move. (same goes for Sol's Heavy Mob Cemetery super grab)
