It's true that to enjoy the game you need to use your own house rules.

I almost don't want to share this info, but you don't have to do it (it will screw your enjoyment if you do)

you can wait for the opponent to enter the pocket and like clockwork he will throw a left or right bomb. Knowing this you dash back and immediately throw a headkick as soon as you hit him, dash back as he'll be throwing another bomb and headkick again...you can do this 10 times in a row unless you mess up.

it's a bit hard to fight realistically too when the cpu throws like 2 jabs a fight. If they speed up the jabs and straights and allow you to throw them in succession again I'd be very happy. It's amazing that they changed it on purpose, but really goes to show how funhouse mirror things can get when you mess with essential fundaments of a sport.
