Side Turned Slipping Unblockable?

So the other night during a player match with @Jihoon, my Brad happened upon a sequence that appeared unblockable. Here's the clip:



As seen, I was at Vanessa's side after a successful evade and hit with then immediately followed with (slipping) which hits Vanessa in the back. I've tried to replicate this in training mode but with no success:

1. Start in open stance
2. Evade the first hit of Vanessa's then crouch under the second hit
3. Whiff punish with then immediately enter
4. While Vanessa's side guarding , slip in the direction of Vanessa's back and perform (slipping)

I've pretty much recreated from the clip in training mode except Vanessa always guards the (slipping) . The only unknown is that I can't exactly tell what Jihoon may (or may not) have been doing while he was side guarding the . Or, this may have just been a random planetary alignment thing.

If anyone can shed some light or knows how to reproduce this consistently, let us know!

 

The lack of any coloured flash (yellow for CH for e.g.) leads me to believe that he did not attempt any attack. It's a plain white flash indicating a normal hit.

Interesting! I might try to see what happens if one attempts to duck at the last second.

One new thing I noticed only after saving and watching the video frame-by-frame is that it appears that Vanessa's arms begin to drop just before the hit, indicating that the G button may have been released? It's really hard to tell, but this is another thing I'll test in addition to crouching before the impact.

 

So, was it a true unblockable? Let's find out!

 

The orange flash indicates a stagger or stumble. See the images in the Stagger or Stumble sections of the wiki for reference.

 

I tested all options in both stances in the video. Or did I miss something?

 

Ooh, that's a good point!

 

I don't think it was intentional. Judging by his surprise, I think it was accidental.

 

I'm fairly certain her DS neutral inashi works from Side Turned as well.

I'm not sure what you mean? I tried evading in both directions as Vanessa, and both directions were successful as expected. If you're referring to Brad's initial evade, then yes, both stances (closed and open) were tested. At 4:13 I change to open stance which makes Brad's evade to Vanessa's back.
