I've heard this term since SF5 came out but dont know what it means. What's a shimmy?

pretty much just walking in and walking back out(it's slightly more complicated than that but that's the basics), there's a lot of reasons to do it. Sometimes you get damage off a counter hit, other times you get information about how someone will react in a certain situation.

You can even shimmy without moving. When I play Ryu and I knockdown in the corner I can go for a meaty crouch jab into nothing. If they throw I'm just out of range because of the jab spacing, but if I hold forward and throw I throw them. So it puts people in a situation where if they do nothing I get to throw or apply pressure, and if they try to tech I get a counter hit.

Dirtier inescapable bomb set-ups need to be discovered or something meterless midscreen.

I'm using her in some fight and I've never felt so disrespected from my opponents. Holding back showing no respect for Ibukis uncancellable neutral on hit cr.mk or -12 sweep that she won't even get a meaty off at that range. She might have the worst offense in the game before she has V-trigger

I doubt we'll see anything new at Evo, but I keep thinking that Rashid is probably the most slept on character in the game right now.

I'm probably going to stick with Ibuki for awhile, but man, it is the struggle right now. By the time you get v trigger, you're damn near dead and unless you have Sako's neutral, you'll just get bullied to the corner like it's nothing. I think I may move to Nash next.

You simply need to be good at neutral play. She has the tools to do it, and even Chris G is finding success. I have a local Ibuki that's pretty solid, too. She's not a struggle character, she's simply HARD to use. She has a lot to take in.

It's just an observation that getting nothing off a throw and not having a low don't go well together. It limts you to very honest offense in a dishonest game

Sorry her throw game is weak midscreen. :/

She's got other shit to use than a throw and a cancelable low. fHK is a silly normal for starters. EX kunai exists and is on some NRS shit. When she has V-Trigger, don't get hit or may the odds forever be in your favor. An overhead that leads to combos and hops over lows. A command jump that cancels into a float that gives her some slight corner escape options. A target combo from a comboable jab. She doesn't have 2 things out of the other silly shit she has and she's "the worst in the game."

I thought my Necalli downplay was bad. But I remembered, this is MylesWright.

GGs! It's okay, Rog is pretty different from 4. He's not very defensive like he was in 4, though his normals operate like fucking walls still lol.

Cause Ibuki is broken. Don't listen to the naysayers. She singlehandedly caused capcom to shut down the servers.

I always want to play more SFV when the server are down. BTW I want to play your Mika more, getting used to the matchup at the start then I cracked big time.
