Kage Side Turned(ST) Game

Sorry, let me clarify: Side Fuzzy with TE is the go-to defensive option when you're side turned because:

• You instantly duck any high "unblockable"
• You stand in time to guard any mid
• You'll escape any Side Throw attempt

When I replied "that's exactly how it works", I was referring to your statement:

Meaning, yes, if you read that your Side Turned opponent will in anticpation of your , then using for a Side CH reaps good reward for Lion. "That's exactly how it works" was in reference to your (correct) choice in this particular guessing game.

But(!) if your opponent knows how to Side Fuzzy TE, then neither your nor will work.

 

Just like defeating a regular fuzzy guard, you can try delaying your throw or use a catch throw (which are generally slower) if you have one.

Also, using a guard break with a slight delay, or using low attacks, are generally effective too since fuzzy guarding eventually ends in a standing guard.
