He said yes! And we got a private room and started experimenting. Totally not gay. After we figured out how to shovel, we started testing some counters. Shovel Counter trial 1 Shovel Counter trial 2
I wont upload ishi's counter cause it didn't work... at all.
Then I tried my decap counter. It didn't really work. So we pretended that it never happened.
shovel is a move when you lower both arms and then raise right on next time
so be sure if it is before post it

And so ishi and I put it to the test. Shovel test 1 Shovel test 2
Apparently in both those replays we did about 2 shovels each. Thats 4 shovels per replay. It was too intense for us so we stopped.
The thing with shovel counters is that if you don't do a normal opener on the first turn, it won't come to much use unless you know that your opponent is going to shovel.
I like to experiment with clap as opener. Sometimes a kick after clap works. It forces the foot on the ground to go down. If the shoveler still has power left after your kick attempt, you're kind of screwed.
