shuffle-defense
A low, wide defensive stance sliding a little each way, hands ready. Translate root while OMITTING faceDeg so the heading holds.
Composes: move-leg + bend-knees + balance-and-posture
How
- Use a
sequence with loop:true. Stay low (root.y~-0.25, hips abducted, knees 50, Spine+X16, arms out).
- Slide
x one way then the other; do NOT set faceDeg.
durationMs per cycle ~1800.
Example
- "get in a defensive shuffle" ->
