Bored as shit so I'm gonna discuss myself for a bit.
I'm what most observational people would call a defensive player. The first thing I do in most matches is see what you do first. You do something (not necessarily offensive) and I gauge your reasoning, aggression levels, play style, 'combat IQ', etc. After your move I react, and we make what I call a 'turn'. A turn is basically action-reaction events from a neutral stance. After the 4th or 5th turn I'm conclusive about how to treat the fight and maintain from there.
Some of you have experienced me acting in ways that seem aggressive and bulldog-ish. Even then I'm merely being defensive. I understand if this seems subject to... subjectivity (am I attacking you in offense or hitting you before you hit me? Hmm...). In any case I will play the clock and look at you the entire time if it keeps me in a safe place (that is: a position that yields the least surprises). Me playing another defensive player is hilarious.
Know that fighting me, everything that happens is your fault.
I'm actually shit when my anger gets into the mix, so if I'm beating you it means I'm calm. If I'm calm I'm not scared. If I'm not scared you're playing my game and not yours. I take impulse and expectations into account, and I feel I do well against my direct opposites. More importantly, I know my characters well - yours, too. I know the EX immunities and the ranges. This of course is stuff you need to know just to play at a certain level, but combined with my patience I think it helps me greatly.
That's it for now.
