When I first faced an 8th dan opponent a few arcades back, they were fuzzy guarding throw attempts incessantly, and I got crushed, and said uh-oh, looks like the high/low throw game is going to go away at some point. Now I get to 8th dan and yep, AIs are fuzzying constantly, throwing becomes a die roll, AND all the attacks I had been using are now being blocked/dodged/countered, and I'm suddenly getting MEGA-crushed.

Thought maybe I could try learning to box but now definitely finding I don't know enough knock-down moves; since I don't use a Guard button, this means I can hit them, but then they just hit me back, harder.

So, I'll have to do Command Training now, I think, because I suddenly don't have any moves that work!! There is some knock-down combo, I think starting with kicks (dfk,k?) and then into fP,P, or something like that; maybe whatever that is will end up being my one workable move, I dunno; it SHOULD be covered in Command Training.

Also fP+K is a single-strike knock-down, but doesn't have much push-back so it isn't safe on block.

Heck even both her dfK moves are getting brutalized now; THAT didn't happen with Jacky. Yikes!

But like with Jacky, Dude arrived and stole all my orbs. : P

Worried about the prospects of this play-through with Vanessa now; if I go through Command Training and don't manage to find a move that doesn't get consistently brutally punished by the high-rank AI, this run is probably just about over.

I think at one point I said I got promoted twice here; was confused and thinking I'd started the episode at 6th dan--forgot it was 7th. : PP
