There’s something extremely satisfying about landing a powerful throw to open up an opponent in a fighting game. This is especially true for throws that effectively chuck the opposition from one side of the stage to the other.
RDE recently released an amusing clip of him imitating the throws of Dr. Mario from Super Smash Bros., Rock Howard from The King of Fighters, Heihachi from Tekken, and Twelve from Street Fighter.
To properly demonstrate just how powerful these throws would look in real life, RDE performs each action against a lifeless dummy. He also showcases each throw from multiple angles.
While imitating Dr. Mario, he lifts the dummy completely over his head before chucking it backwards. You can really tell that he puts his all into capturing the motion needed to pull this off.
Heihachi’s throw is particularly cool, though it would also be especially painful to use against another human. The character ends up lifting the opponent by their neck before tossing them in some direction. This scene ends up being extra cool as RDE opts to give the perspective of the victim in one of the angles.
RDE ends up going above and beyond to capture the essence of every character that he imitates. While performing their respective throws, he does his best to also look the part with his attire.
