01 / THE GUIDE
Normal Attack Rhythm
Spend a session chaining close‑ranged and long‑ranged normal attacks without interruption. Notice how the auto‑combo speed changes with button timing, and aim for smooth transitions.
- Focus on mastering each character’s normal attacks early to keep combos fluid.

02 / THE GUIDE
Guard vs. Break Timing
In a training match, have a partner use break attacks while you guard. Record how long you can sustain a guard before a break attack lands, then adjust your guard release timing.
- Use Guard sparingly; it cannot stop break attacks.
- Mix close and long ranged normal attacks to keep opponents guessing.
