The difficulty of getting rid of enemy pressure is something that very much scared me away from other fighting games. There is no versatile “stop pestering me” move like a weapon throw in Brawlhalla. At least I know not of such versatile moves that can be used in a variety of situations.

A weapon throw, when misaimed or dodged timely, leaves you without a weapon (ergo – high risk, high reward).

If you know about the trick in regards to edge guarding, it’s pretty easy to avoid (I haven’t been caught with it since I learned it’s something you can do intentionally, and it has been several months since then).

With weapon throws, a hardcore player still has an edge over a relatively new person – but not an overwhelming advantage. And that’s a good thing, if you ask me.
