thats my old attempts from....forever ago. Basically just do a high btwist and spot your target and extend your first leg, then land on it.

My new ones are inverted and much better, you can find them in here.

I cant be bothered to sort the footage, but theres like 2 or 3 in there.

your friends turning his shoulder down like its a flip or something, do it like a btwist and then cancel out the twist mid way so you go up really high and one leg is still swinging around.

thats for an illusion kick/twist.

shurikens are very different.

[Siphin]

i thought shurikens are just hypered illusions...

[saunders]

i do shurikens just as regular bkicks, but with a powerful outside crescent kick over my lifting leg, then just land. i don't think of shuriken twists as a btwist

[Siphin]

yea hypered illusions...

[Alexx]

i thought shurikens are just hypered illusions...

nope shurikens are a btwist with a big cresent with the inside leg.

o0o0o ok thanks for clearing that up for me alex ok so just focus on illusions because i can't b-twists so shuriken twists are out of the question for now

how are your pop360's??


and even though its not really a pre-req, you should have btwists, b/c it is an illusion TWIST so having a bTWIST def. helps

[Siphin]

my pop 360 cresents are perfect.. lol thats like the best move i have..

[NOT Muscle Man]

how bout btwists? cuz you could consider this a distant variation of a btwist, and it does involve twisting

[saunders]

i find shuriken twists way easier than btwist, and if you kick that leg hard enough you don't even need to twist. imo you don't need btwists as a prereq, only illusionkicks or -twists or w/e
but having btwists always helps, i guess :eh:
