Supporting charaters...special moves

[Backwards Man]

When you have the ball as a supporting charater(birdo, hammerbros, etc) Each seems to have a special move the is defensive when they have the ball. Hammer Bro throws hammers on the ground, Birdo does a ballerina twirl...etc
This in essence prevents somebody from tackling or stealing the ball...the question is, how do you do them? I think Strikers 101 glossed over this point.

Not just down, any direction on the d-pad.

yeah.....down is much closer to the A-button.....faster reflexes

I understand how you could miss it. It only mentions it quickly in the description under the first lesson, and never really forces you to practice it. But yes, just as they said. D-pad.

Dekes are awesome, I think hammerbros are the best.
