What Is "Delay Tech?" Learn This Powerful Defensive Technique!

[@imjust_a]

Thanks! I have a friend who got me into the game who play's a gnarly Rashid. He's spent so much time practicing his offense to make it airtight. I never know what to do against him. He's very honest about the cracks in his playstyle and admitted that delay tech really kills his momentum, but I never knew what that meant. Gonna practice this and give it a shot!

Great explanation, James!

I've always heard about Delay Teching and it of course is as simple of a concept as the name is literally what it is, but I have never actually learned it. I always have the problem when I'm in the corner of being the most wrong guesser imaginable. I can get thrown 2-7 times in a row but the *EXACT* attempt that I try to tech is also the same moment my opponent decides to press a button. Hopefully after I practice this I can remedy this issue because I don't get shimmied enough. Also, I need to shimmy more.

I do it when I condition my opponent not to shimmy

I think the fans need a cross-over with Versus Vortex more.

People think I’m cheating because I’m good at throw tech but the way I practice throw tech is I react to the throw animation. Each character has a specific animation when they initiate a grab if you practice recognizing the animation then you can practice reacting to throws when you noticed that animation on the first two frames some characters you could do it in three frames

You can do it if you put your back into it.
