Description
Uramawari is a strategic move leveraged in fighting games to gain an upper hand during combat. By maneuvering the player's character around the opponent, reaching the backside or 'blind spot', it often leaves the opponent in a vulnerable state. This tactic can be pivotal in turning the tide of a battle, as it typically disrupts the opponent's defensive stance and opens opportunities for high-damage combos. The effectiveness of Uramawari can vary depending on the game's mechanics, character-specific abilities, and the player's skill in executing the move without getting counterattacked. It's a blend of timing, spacing, and quick reflexes, and is often seen in competitive play where players exploit every possible advantage to outmaneuver their rivals.
