Shadowing and Quick Step

Post by sann0638 »

One from the world cup (456 x 6 games produces lots of rules situations!).

Can you use shadowing if someone is moving on quick snap?

Difficult to decide.
Yes, the movement is not an action, there for Shadowing shouldn't be usable.
But in the skill descreption it also says "for any reason" which makes it hard to tell.

Just from my own perspective, I'll say that defense is caught flat-footed and no shadowing should be used.
Again, this is just my personal opinion.

Good catch..

No he/she can't - quick snap is not a action. The same goes for pass block (thats also not a acton)

I ruled no, but it was in the last two minutes of the last of 9 games that weekend! I don't think action is relevant, as it can be used when a player is blocked (I think, possibly?)

Ah, I am wrong. A player performing an action. Excellent, so you can't use it if a player is blocked, chain pushed etc.

Nope, but you could shadow the player doing the blocking.. (Side step-Shadowing is a great combo against frenzy :smoking: )
