I can’t even think of something in WoW that would qualify as being cool enough for this, actually. </p> Nope, it was my editor’s idea.

This article wasn’t inspired by your new de-cap-i-ta-shun weapon in WoW, was it?

At least, that’s where I’m coming from as I write it. Better make sure my editor is on the same page, lol </p> I’ve always used “throw” as a generic term for special attack. “Throw moves” usually encompasses any kind of combo, special ability or throw, even though a lot of those are grapples, grabs, pulls or weapons.

I’d consider the above Scorpion “Get over here” a grab, so just want that clarified!  Can ya share an example or two? Do you mean those those takedowns like in Soul Calibur when you clutch someone and beat them up the head with a pole?  For some reason, I’m blanking on just straight throws, mostly because I remember them all being the same in the fighting games I’ve played. </p> Throw moves or grabs?
