    What is a slick fighter? What skills sets make for a slick figher. What combos, defensive skills, movement etc . . .

    the ability to not be hit using movement. Though it goes a lot more broader than that. It's synonymous with smooth or slippery

    It's a meaningless phrase used to deflect criticism.

    A fighter who bases much of their style around relatively subtle moves - primarily with the torso, shoulders, and head - that are designed to make punches miss. So, top notch defense that isn't predicated on 'running' or the more basics-oriented, textbook type of blocking.

    They're not technical terms so it doesn't matter anyway, bu smooth and slick aren't the same thing to me.
