LoL.... if you play a scrub like he's a pro.... he/she will beat you. You just can't set them for high level strategies because.... well I don't why... all I know is it doean't work.
You gotta relax.... and use much simpler methods to beat him/her. You can spam Low Punches and Unsafe Moves for days and they won't punish you because its just like you said... they aint shit.
