Mastering movement is crucial. Beyond basic sidesteps, learn to utilize 8-way run for precise positioning and evasion. Practice step-guarding (briefly tapping G after a sidestep) to quickly block after evading. Understanding your character's optimal range and maintaining it is key to controlling the flow of battle. Learn to bait whiffed attacks and punish them with your character's fastest moves.
