Free Step Dodge

Izuna holds and ongyoin parry.

Other than that, you'd have to ask someone else. Defense is my weakest point.

My goal after switching back to Ryu from Rig was to work on using those very 2 things, and I have. I'm using Izuna holds and the ongyoin one more, and my izuna hold execution has improved. I might just need to learn how to not be an idiot with my holds and learn to block low... I don't know

Mah hero!

Blocking low online is really, really hard. It's why most pro players consider Hitomi the scourge of DOA online.

Well I was told to look up fuzzy guarding. Seems simple in itself but I don't know what it supposed to look like, so at the moment I can only guess that I'm doing it right.

Also, we should play sometime... so we can see if I could do any better against you now.

It uh, looks like you kinda duck really quick, but then hope back up. Really short animation.

And yeah, we should. I guess I can hop on for a little bit if you're free right now.

One last thing... What are the best things to do after an ongyoin parry and the opponents back is facing you?

The eternal question, lol. Thing is, you'll almost always be at disadvantage doing that because the teleport recovery is so long. You'll also usually be a good bit a away, and your fastest pokes have little range (not to mention downsides for landing on NH. So it always depends on your opponent and what move you parried.
