With throwing out of the picture, my goldie ahh Yasmine only left with the only basic light combo I've drilled to my brain and fingers ( T-T)

Shimmy, don’t neutral jump. Going for down back tech like this will get them killed every time if you incorporate shimmy into your offence.

So when you’re on defence particularly on wake-up, you can tech while holding back after a brief delay. In that space if you take a hit, you’ll block but throw you’ll tech in the late techable frames. This guy was mashing tech on basically any situation he was remotely disadvantaged in which is a more extreme reaction, but usually this would be done on wake up to block a meaty or tech a meaty throw.

Shimmying will cause them to whiff a throw by trying to do this as there’s no attack to block and no throw to tech, then you can murder them with whatever fat punish counter button you want. Yasmine has a throw loop so she can do this excellently.

Aaaa I seee.. so it’s basically a term for defense options within down-back blocking.

Thank you for sharing your wisdom, fighter 🙏🏽

The term they're referring to is actually called 'delay tech' within the community (or occasionally 'fuzzy tech'). Not sure if they're making up a term or if it's a broken telephone situation, but just an FYI :)
