Your confusing my idea of chi-sao flow'ers [ not flowers :D] to this excerpt .
I also have other things beside the dagger strikes, but that's the part most VT shares one hand helps the other.
Maybe not as I train, but its easier to go forward hands on, let hands talk.
typing isnt working :D
we use angling extensively too....footwork.
here is another guy who trains mit PB

Another clip with a little striking exchanges , note striking, not feeling chasing ...you can get a feeling that the chi-sao is kicking in directly with reflex exchanges but without 2 hands extended drilling ...and no lead leg eggbeaters chasing air.

and another , you can see striking development with stances etc...

I still think this is one of the best clips that illustrates the concept of controlling and striking simultaneously. Watch the use of angles combined with footwork to control/reduce the attacking and counterattacking abilities of the "opponent":

It's a nice clip, Micheal is very tight in his movements, very hard to see the slight angles and structure/mechanics at play here.
Now here is the the thing, Micheal (white shirt) is getting the flank of black shirt guy, who also has a VT frame and movement. VT frm/movmt is all about facing square while in training (chi sau/laap sau mode & range), so if Mike can get his flank how much easier will it be for him to get one's flank when they don't have this VT development?
Like other's have said, part of what is learned in VT is to get the flank on your opponent, why do this? Because it's easier to fight one side at a time than two sides at time. VT teaches to fight with 2 live sides, the natural tendency in people is to turn when they hit, which is one side live the other dead (for the moment anyways).
The conumdrum is can we get enough power in our strikes to do the job, without using a torque/twisting turning method to do so leaving us with one dead side when we hit. Well that is for each of us to develop if we know how.
