Ground and Pound Strikes

Your objective with Straights and Hooks is to keep your opponent guessing between Head Movement and Posting against strikes. The better you switch up between strikes, the harder it is for your opponent to guess or react to your strikes. Elbows can cut your opponent but will force you to posture down.

Inputs:

Straights with ^X^ or ^Y^

Hooks with ^LB^+X^ or ^Y^

Elbows with ^RT^ + ^X^ or ^Y^
