1. You have to beat them at their own game. Fighting outside doesnt work. The person that dominates the in-fighting will win the match. You cant possibly evade skilled players long enough to win by decision. You dont have enough tools short of just running to stop their approach. Even if you run then they cut the ring off. You will have to trade at some point and you have to win these battles.
2. You have to have the stick skills to execute the perfect defense. Ive decided not to explain how to do it since I dont want to contribute to more people doing it since its so stupidly effective. As bad as spammers are, this seemed worse to me. You should not be able to defend your head and body at the same time to the degree that was used against me by an individual who I believe was ranked 20th at the time. Punching to the body was largely useless and punching to the head was incredibly risky. It was a moment of clarity that made me realize that I could fight this person 100 times but if I cant do what he is doing then I probably wont beat him more than maybe once.
The experience reminded me of madden back when I realized that if I was going to succeed at any higher level than I was at, I would have to bite the bullet and develop money plays and nano-blitzes. When you have spent hours and hours finding out the programming deficiencies of the game to exploit just to get wins against people you cant beat otherwise, you start to view games differently. When the strategies that bring you success also sicken you then its time to take a step back. Thats what I did with madden and that is what ive decided to do with FNR4 as is.
After the patch, I may take it seriously again and try to become the champ in World Championship mode but as of right now, I dont really care to be any better than I am cause I dont see how to get better short of more cheesy bull**** that I just cant condone...
