1.What exactly are you looking at during a fight?

2.What are you thinking of in the middle of a fight?

3.Do you just improvise or do you actually think of what to do next when on offensive?

4.Do you just improvise or do you actually think of what to do next when on defensive?

I really suck at this game and i actually sometimes end up only thinking about what i should do next instead of looking at what the oponent does. Anyone ever had that happen :D?

1.What exactly are you looking at during a fight?

You are looking to get your opponent into the triangle system. you are hunting stuns, high counter blow launchers, and throws/high counter throws. when you block something unsafe you need to punish it with the correct throw punishment. if players are being obvious with their strikes use the defensive hold to punish them.

2.What are you thinking of in the middle of a fight?

you are trying to think what the opponent is thinking and use a strat that will work vs it.

3.Do you just improvise or do you actually think of what to do next when on offensive?

some things are set but sometimes things dont always go as planned and you have to improvise.

4.Do you just improvise or do you actually think of what to do next when on defensive?

on defense a lot of stuff is improvised because of the amount of guessing in doa4.

overall the best thing to do is play online a lot and practice. exp is really what helps the most in doa4. the more you are faced with certain situations the better you get at getting out of them.

actually 2 more things here:

1. if you think a throw is coming then make sure you punish a throw attempt with a launcher and not a stun.

2. doa4 has a lot of guessing but you need to remember that a wrong guess doesnt mean a bad guess. guessing in doa4 is like basketball. taking a wide open shot isnt a bad shot if it misses. taking a open shot from full court with lots of time on the clock is a bad shot no matter what. in doa4, even if you guess wrong it can still be a good guess as long as the guess has a high chance of working. a bad guess in doa4 would be something that literally has a 0.0% chance of working under any circumstance. using this theory helps you to not get fustrated when you are wrong.

+2 Good shit!

Brady pretty much hit it, work around the triangle system. Know your opponent.
