Hint: Defensive Play
To stand a chance against more experiences and stronger computer and human
opponents, take a defensive role, especially with computers. Hold guard (G) and
let them unleash their string of attacks, keeping in mind to watch them so you
can change position to block both high and low attacks respectively. When they
are done with their combo, their character will temporarily stall as they gain
their neutral stance, this is when you drop your guard and open up a can of your
own.
