Tips and tricks

Special moves are best used to finish a combo or a round, not to open one.
Pick one character and one simple combo and repeat it until it is automatic. Consistency wins far more than variety.
Jumping is a commitment. Do it to escape or to surprise, never as a default movement.
Spacing is a weapon. Stand just outside the opponent's reach and inside your own, and let them come to you.
Because this is a Drawing game, shorter strokes are more precise than long ones.
