Choose space before a special attack
Use the stage pictures to recognize the series setting, then focus on the distance between the fighters during the match. A dramatic technique still needs an appropriate opening and enough resources. Practise a short approach, a defensive response and a retreat before committing to a long sequence. Stage familiarity should support reading the fight, while the capsule setup and character’s tools remain the practical part of the plan.
