So my whole game is moving my feet, moving my head, and finding counters. I see a lot of people abuse the Parry, but I don't see hardly anyone looking for proper Sway Counters.
The extent of many peoples head movement, is just leaning straight back, or just rotating the stick in circles. Leaning back can be effective, but the mindless spinning and hoping you'll dodge something isn't.
One technique I use frequently is the Lean, or Sway Counter. We you lean to the right and throw a Jab, you lunge out a very fast Jab. When you lean to the left and throw a Right Straight, you lunge with a fast Straight. By using these you can slip your opponents strikes and unleash a counter right away. You can counter with an entire combo in some cases.
Here's a fun video/ example of me using this exact technique multiple times to set up the finish.

And some more finishes with this technique.

There a few different way to make this work. I have a few different techniques, and then just link them together.
Basically I like to pump a right Lean. This is a real life technique. The idea is the it slips the opponents Jab. Remember off the Lean, at any point you can lunge with a Jab, so by pumping it, it can act like a feint, and keep the speedy Jab ready to fire whenever.
Another thing I'll do, which you can see in the first video, is lean to the right, then rock back, and rock to the right lean again. Just adjusting range can slip hooks and kicks, and uppercuts, etc, and can draw out an attack to counter. A very effective draw technique when combined with good movement. The opponent sees you standing in 1 place and will think they can hit you, but you're using smart head movement, and can hopefully set up a counter.
Another technique, which I don't have a video for i don't think, is the Slip and roll. These are all real life techniques that totally work in the game. So you are pumping your right lean, the opponent Jabs, you slip the Jab, and immediatly roll under to the left, which is gonna dodge any Hook the opponent throws, then you throw a Right Straight or Hook, and with the Lean, it fires out a special animation much faster Straight or hook, for a devestating Counter.
If you want to continue head movement, you can either roll back to the Right, Or lean Back, which will dodge the follow up left hand side Jab/Hook/Kick
I use these techniques in combinations with each other constantly, and it works great for my style. I don't see really anyone else playing like me. Maybe it would be something worth trying out!
Hope this made sense. Haha
