I wish I had a cool signature

B1 establishes LGP but right before crash turns his shoulder away from A1 whereby he is no longer facing A1 head on bit only partially facing. Same thing except the turn of the shoulder is toward A1 and again not facing A1 head on but only partial...Hope that helps

I've got PC either way. I don't consider shoulder movement here to be moving forward enough, unless I'm picturing it wrong.

Adam, did you mean to say PC? The way I am picturing it, the turning of the shoulder(s) in either direction shouldn't matter if it is apparent they are still within the vertical space of the defender. Now if a forward step or a significant leaning were also involved, that could change things.

Doh, I did mean PC. I'll fix it.
