How do angled strikes work

[1212headkick]

Now I’ve always used the angled straight to the body to avoid uppercuts but what about the rest of them what’s there utility? Anyone know? I’ve evaded jab straight spammers with angled straight to the head. What are their full potential usage?

More damage to the opponent if they circle into the strike and evasive properties against certain linear strikes when timed correctly.

Re: How do angled strikes work

This has been my biggest curiosity the whole games lifespan and in that curiosity I’ve found many tricks with moving strikes

1) being able to throw a stationary combo and finishing with a moving strike is a big advantage to have in your arsenal

2) using moving strikes to cut off the cage and flowing into stationary once you have them trapped is just as important

3) watching you opponents feet and knowing and throwing your strikes in direction of their movement ex. He goes back, I throw forward moving jab I read that after that he goes to his left so I move to that side with a hook to cut him off and throw the rest of my Combo stationary.

4) Side moving and backwards moving jabs if timed correctly at the start of their forward moving combo can actually make them whiff their entire combo without the need to step or move your head and can set up some deadly counters

5) when being walked down chest to chest if you throw a backwards moving strike into stationary combo you can surprise people and get easy rocks as they have to reach cause you moved back with the first strike and as they reach you are planted so it tricks them one of my favourite uses of this is to throw a backwards moving straight or lead hook into my stationary

6) throwing a combo in the pocket and exiting with the last strike being backwards or lateral gets you out safely, some of my favourites are throwing combos that end in a backwards moving rear leg kick or backwards moving straight to keep them from being able to advance

7) lateral strikes track better and are more easily timed on advancing opponents compared to trying to plant and wait for them good examples are the moving back lead hook, lateral straights n jabs or lateral leg kicks.

8) throwing a strike moving towards your opponents lead will close the distance, throwing it towards their rear side will creat distance.

Re: How do angled strikes work

This would be a great video to make along with a good look at properly using stopping power

I don’t have full videos on it but I could maybe whip together a practice mode video of me showing the different combos and uses for moving strikes later

Re: How do angled strikes work

Here’s a video example of how I was using angles on strikes laterally and backpedaling to disrupt this guys forward pressure and knees and elbows, in this clip I only got to showcase the straight right hand but you can see it’s effectiveness against his constant crowding

https://youtu.be/mO8oqhgC6hQ

I’ll try and get more examples in Ranked over the next week and post them here

Edit: looking back this didn’t have the most pronounced examples but you can see what I was doing with it here and there guy I was fighting was on a very laggy connection here so it was 10x harder too

Wow! Your style is so entertaining!

Why the stance switching? Flair, or some practical reason?

I do it mainly to create angles and open up different strikes and it makes people have to change their attack it works wonders against most people

Nice video. I use this same concept, albeit at a much lower level.

Here's a video where I'm doing a similar thing. The first round is sloppy, but I really find my groove in the 2nd. Also note, this is just quick fight, and this player is not very good.

Also, how does Theodorou have no spinning attacks? Dude just aimlessly flails around like a whirling dirvish all fight, every fight.
