using LEFT stick for head movement

[1212headkick]

you can time your opponent and flick the left stick to evade strikes practice it the same way you use right stick head movement benefit is no stamina tax but very hard to time cheers

i use the minor back step sometimes in the late rounds as thompson to break shorter guy's combos. I wouldnt use this as a primary defense, I've seen some guys try to use this as a defense and I usually open them up with a jab lead hook/hook or body kick, plus it doesnt have the counter window that head movement does, but is less risky

I do this with guys who jab a lot. If you do it well, they can’t even tell you’re doing it and suddenly you have a stamina advantage and they don’t know why.

I'm bad at using them. If you guys have videos of fights where you used them a lot, I'd like to watch and try to learn. I've seen Zombie Rommel using them with major elegance.

I suck at the side slips unless the opponent is reliably spamming straight strikes.

But I love the back slide with karate stance fighters like Machida, feels great when you juuust slide out of the way of a strike then fire off a straight.

These are the minor lunges done by flicking the left stick. I have been using them for a while now.

They are real effective with people who have high footwork stats.

It's good against straight strikes, but hooks/round strikes get you in trouble when using the minor lunges.
