what does this mean?

Prevents using light attacks to option select with throw escapes.

Karin's EX srk on wake up will whiff if you neutral jump at point blank range.

Tenko is at least -7 on block.
Mujinkyaku is at least -5 on block.

Previously you can press LP then press LP+LK (Similar to crouch tech in SF4 but slower.) and your LP will come out but you will still tech throws. You can't do that anymore.

ah, the famous daigo corner throw....
i thought that was legit....

It's great that Capcom are removing option selects. Absolutely hated that shit in SF4.

This only affects the defender not the attacker. I dunno what corner throw you're talking about though.

oh, its the other way round....i thought its for the attacker...
erm, daigo like to do light punch then throw when the opponent is at the corner, i thought that patch is about that.

Techthrow OS existed in SF5 beta and SF5 v1.01

Beta - MP + LK + LP together, MP will come out if no throws, if thrown, your character will tech it, removed.

Beta v2 - Plinking V-Skill(MP+MK) into LK+LP, usually used by defensive V-Skill char like Zangief or Ryu, V -Skill will come out if no throw, if thrown, character will throw tech instead, removed.

v1.01 before patch - Plink the buttons LK or LP into LP+LK, your character will dish out the light attacks, but if thrown, will tech throw automatically.

By having additional 2 frames that unable to throw you after hitting any buttons will help in removing option select.

Option select has been used by advanced user or Professional in fighting games such as SF4, including the basic throw tech of crouching LP+LK in SF4, useful when guarding opponent, just hit the button following the rythm of your opponent attacks while guarding(its really hard to throw decent player in SF4), or plinking/ buffering moves example buffering hadouken after a CMK pokes, if the move hit, hadouken will come out, if move doesnt hit, nth will happen, plinking also made linking 1 frame combo is easier.

Anyway long story short, if you don't know what is option select, don't bother, Capcom is removing all of this and making the game more honest now, there will be real risk in every single moves you made in SF5, no more DP FADC or any 100% safe action, it allows more risk and reward and mind games, in short, making the game back to basic, until someone figure out some imba techs that still has risk but not an option select.

Slash elbow?
Flash chop?

NEEEEUUUUUUU!!! What have you done to Alex!!!

Looks like gonna out Alex in my main list, joining Zangied and Mika.

Muscle Grappler Spirit here we go!

No birdie? What nonsense!

To me, Birdie is not much of a grappler. I can say he's between rush down and zoner in a mix.

True on that. I probably grab with him like probably once every match for the surprise element that's about it.

Rank matches really turning me off right now, some matches I am getting frame skipping but my opponent is executing all combos on me. It seems that the lag only affects 1 sided, I lost most of my points to this type of matches and after lost my focus.

Lag switch turned on, perhaps?
I am still frustrated with Capcom of not fixing the CFN profile bug till now.

Did any of you notice, that apart of the ragequit disease, there is another thing similar to that. Its where you won tge match and the opponent didn't rage quit during game but after the game, before the point/ranking part. At that time the point didn't register, and it saying something like failed to send data and end up everything just dash dash dash (---) on your LP, FM, Ranking.

Or maybe its just me?

Those still registers. As long as they don't do it in game its still valid. Had a China Nash player that quit on me. Ultra bronze player too. Funny shit come to think of it.

Never had point not being registered before.

Was on 5 losing streak for rank battle, cuz didn't play seriously for 2 days.. Lol

Then go back in training mode this morning and trained hard.. Win like 7 battles in a row.. Good day lol

Oh so it still registered? Good to know that. Just that I always got confused with the CFN profile, where it shows the other dude's point instead of mine.
