A Tick Throw is a specific technique where a player does an attack with little blockstun (like a 2A or 5P), and immediately throwing the opponent afterwards.

This takes advantage of the fact that fast attacks with little blockstun usually have frame advantage. The opponent expects a Frame Trap and decides to block instead of attacking back or jumping out.
