Hi I'm stupid. (slips question)

Okay I'm trying to figure out when up and down are right slip and left slip. I guessed it has nothing to do with going towards his right hand or left hand, or the opponents right or left. What determines which direction I push for right vs left slip?

If this sounds stupid...probably because it is.

 

I'm not a Brad player but I'm guessing it's your stance, or which foot is in front (left or right). I don't know how it goes though.

 

The side of his leading foot does. Iirc his leading foot side is left and the back foot side is right, but I dont remember for sure. Try it. I think the naming of his slips is stupid, quite frankly.

 

Slipping toward Brad's back is left and toward his front is right.

Slipping right is the one with the mid punch stomach crumple and the hunting knee.

Slipping left has the high hook head crumple and the over step kick that gives advantage on block.

Funny fact: they reversed left and right from VF4E. Just to bug you.

 

I knew it they are just trying to annoy us! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/crazy.gif

 

Or it might have something to do with switching stance at the beginning of the match between the two versions... /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

He used to start southpaw.

 

I still wished Brad started on an unorthodox stance. I had really liked this unique trait.

 

None of this removes the issue that naming his slips "left" and "right" is stupid /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/mad.gif

 

Hey, Sugar... umm, wait, that came out gay, let me try this again:
Hey, Sugarman... umm... no wait, still gay... ok, I got it:
Ey yo S.G. (much better, lol) you're not stupid man, it can be a little tricky at first to keep track of which way Brad's chest/back is facing but it gets easier the more you play with him.
Be mindful of the moves that you can go into slipping from which change Brad's foot position, such as:
4P, 4P+K, 4K, etc.
This can really affect some of your tactics and combos. Just like with every other character, with time you'll get used to all of his unique quirks and perks.
