Free Step Dodge

Which habits?

One I hate is that if I know a stupid low is coming, I instinctively hit 1P instead of 1H. Soooooo frustrating,

Overholding is a BIG problem for me. Some days I'm good and stick with SE'ing, some days I slip into the hold every damn stun.

As much as I overhold, attacking from disadvantage is something I do 90% of a match and it gets me blown up.

Lastly I'm way too active (even as a Kasumi player) rather than reactive.

First one just... yeah. That sucks.

Second one, attacking from disadvantage is just something you have to do with a lot of characters. For example, Hayabusa has NO way to open someone up aside from tick throws. None. But if you rely on that, you'll get blown up just like everyone else does. So, you have to mixin your

freecancels and lackluster crushes to score CHs by attacking from disadvantage. He has no choice. He's just gotta do it, despite being slow as hell.

Last one isn't so much as bad habit as just something that's hard to do (and impossible to do online). For example "I'm bad at math. I gotta kick that habit." It's not really a habit so much as just something you need to practice

If you notice I don't hold nearly as much against your Hayabusa. Or Alpha players.

Problem is I try to attack from stuff that's like -12 or more with moves that don't even crush. My mind is saying "block" while my fingers are saying "I like to hit buttons"

If you're at -12 with no follow-up string options, it doesn't matter what you do, as you're going to get throw punished every time (at least offline in high level play). Might as well just drop the controller for a sec. Online and vs casuals, any shit can fly, so do whatever.
If you're at -12 but you have string follow-ups, yeah. Sometimes you do still just have to attack.

Sometimes without crushes, since crushes can leave you in a really bad situation if blocked. DOA life

And yes, I have noticed that. xD Yurlungur was saying "Chapstick spams mid P holds and catches me with it all the time!" I'm like: "Really? Go ask him how much he holds against me. It's like.... never."
