I can break it 100% of the time so no its not a mixup to me atleast.

how do you always break it when the animation is almost identical?

It is. 1+2 animation for 1 break.

Not with me mate. I never use GS because I can't be bothered to hammer it down into my muscle memory. xD

From what I've read, the animation is slightly different than 1+2 throws BUT the animation is identical to SW.

The 1+2 throws come out 1 frame slower. Isn’t it obvious.

This is the correct answer. I can "see" the difference, even if I can't always hit the right escape.

It's not the same but if pro players can't tell on the fly then how could anyone else?

Yeah, it has the exact same animation as a 1+2 throw, but it's a 1 break.

Yup its 50/50 if you dont duck or sidestep
