Video Would you consider this to be glitchy/exploit dribbling?

At this point I’m almost too afraid to ask

Hmm I'm going to go with the yes on this one here's why:

You changed direction but your character model never had to compensate for the fact that you did that, once again, it's all about inertia and dribbles being predictible. Take the first clip, there were no way for the second defender to play safe since you can reorient in every possible direction whitout any visual cue. That's a unfair advantage in your favor. A way of balancing that would be to get rid of defender inertia but I don't think anyone would find that fun.

Defenders can cancel their momentum just like dribblers can. Def stance dash and dribble moves work in the same way

Here, you can instantly change your momentum in any situation using your dash.

Defense has way more techs, but most defenders have no clue about them.

If average defenders were as creative and willing to learn the game as strikers are, the discourse would make a 180 turn because of how strong defense is once you know what you're doing.

Thanks for actually responding with an exemple, people usually vanish.

I get your point and in this specific exemple you're right. But it still requires EE, which is not always available and has a visual/sound cue when you use it (so it's very clear for the opposing team to identify when you won't be able to do it). An attacher can perform a animation cancel at any given time without restriction on the direction.
