I have been playing fighting games in the past, but not with such a passion as I do now. The gameplay is so dynamic, sometimes you gotta play turtle (defensive) and sometimes you gotta play pitbull (offensive). The key to success is to switch gears. It’s such a pleasure to let your opponent despair when he’s playing the pitbull and trying to hit you for fucking sake, but you are blocking, dodging or parrying every single punch, every single kick and every single throw. I really like to play turtle style.
No matter what game I am playing, I always play the defender role (you might know this if you have played CTF with or against me).
Well that’s true for 90% of the time. The other 10% are when I rapidly switch from defence to offence, it’s pretty surprising for my opponent and it breaks his routine. He has been attacking like a maniac and only a low percentage of his attacks hit, suddenly he’s in the defensive role and he doesn’t know what to do (unless he is experienced). Some will forget about blocking and get hit by almost all attacks, getting killed very quickly. Some will continue attacking, not knowing a thing about frame advantage (Frame advantage is when one of your attacks gets blocked, you’re either in frame advantage or disadvantage, meaning you are able to either attack more or less quickly than your opponent).

There’s one game where I play a different style though, it’s called King of Fighters (KoF). In KoF, no matter which version I play, I play 60% aggressive and 40% defensive. I don’t know why it is like that, there’s just something mysterious about KoF, but I guess that turtle style is much harder to pull off. It’s a pretty fast
