A shimmy in Street Fighter is when you bait your opponent into whiffing a throw by moving in and out of their throw range, then punish them. It's all about mind games and footsies!

A shimmy in Street Fighter? It's like dancing, but with more punch-punishments! You dodge the grab, then make 'em pay.

Simply put, a shimmy is a fake-out move to get your opponent to miss a grab so you can counterattack them hard!

Shimmying is basically moving back and forth just outside of your opponent's throw range to make them whiff a throw so you can punish them. Trust me, it's super effective!
