**Inputs:**

Lead Tornado Kick: ^A^+^B^ then ^LB^+^A^

While throwing a strike, your own Strike Vulnerability increases; in other words, you take more damage if you are hit while attempting to throw your own strike. Time your strikes carefully!

Active Strike Vulnerability


Body Roundhouse Kicks when landed flush can cause significant Body Damage to your opponent. It also eats up your opponent&#39;s Maximum Stamina. Becoming predictable with your Body Roundhouse Kicks means your opponent can easily catch them. See Catch Kicks in Striking DEFENSE.

**Inputs:**

^LT^ + ^A^ or ^B^

Body Roundhouse Kick


A good way to deter a kickboxer is to close the distance and pressure them. You can counter this by pushing your opponent. You can push a fighter who is attempting to crowd you with ^RT^+^X^+^A^ (^Y^+^B^ for Southpaw). Pushing your opponent can combine with a Roundhouse Kick.

**Inputs:**

^RT^+^X^+^A^(^Y^+^B^ for Southpaw)

Pushing For Distance


Leg Kicks are brutally punishing when landed. Leg Kick damage does not recover over time. So landing a Leg Kick at the start of the fight might not mean much, but they can add up quickly. Leg Kicks can also be checked easily, which causes significant damage to the thrower. Becoming predictable with your Leg Kicks could lead to you being hurt badly.

**Inputs:**

^A^ or ^B^
