Side-step is advanced technique

the tilting is not that bad...... it's a relax position for me. the thumb on guard is better but i am comfortable with using my first three fingers.

and in summary::::: sidestep is a useful tool but not an advanced technique. what moves are considered "advanced techniques"????????? im thinking of guard cancel into another move or.........

 

eh, advanced technique is kind of a poor choice of words. There are just good strategies and poor ones I think. Mixing in a throw escape with every reversal or dodge when you lose initiative is pretty good technique. Capitalizing on elbow staggers correctly is also. Sidekick MC, crouch dash throw is nice.

 

"side-step is an advanced technique"

heh,... yeah, the only way i'll believe that is when i see some people revive the k-step in vf4,... which reminds me..

has anyone actually managed to hack it??

 

I reckon anyone who can reverse, block or side-step every opponents move is considered a master.

Remember those Hong Kong kung-fu movies you have watched over the years? About 50% of each major fight always has them blocking each others moves. Although half of those movies are complete and utter rubbish!

 

Creed is it verified that d/f+P+K+G or its mirror u/f+P+K+G will complete at a frame rate that negates recovery time for Lion VF4? Would hcb+P+G ( held down) be initiated before or after Dodge move? Thx.

 

I haven't seen anybody use d/f+P+K+G or its mirror u/f+P+K+G effectively yet. It's a bit subtle and I haven't got to grips with it yet.
Back+P+K+G is effective but a bit obvious and uncool.

 

Dunno the answers to any of these, remember - I can't test much of anything because the machine is 5-6 hours away. I doubt that lion can negate the recovery of moves though, with the exception of the weird punch looks like his normal P but recovers a little faster (if you're wondering what I mean, I think the gist of it is that entering f,b+P+K or something like that does a normal punch and it looks like nothing special, but it appears to recover more quickly. Read about it on this board a while ago)
