You can’t pre-input transitions, ever. So in your example of your opponent transitioning to standing over/under, you shouldn’t be inputting the throw while that animation is still playing out. You should wait until you have entered the new position before attempting the throw.

All this being said, you also need to remember that it if your opponent starts a transition, that transition must be denied. Instead of just trying to “power through” their transition with a transition of your own, deny theirs first. As soon as their transition has been denied, you have priority, assuming you transition immediately.

There are some transitions that are designed to be dynamic (you and your opponent can transition simultaneously and there is a unique animation to show this). Such as passing to sidecontrol while your opponent attempts to take your back from HG. But even in those cases, it’s best to just deny THEN transition.
