This is exactly what the title says. You play a match where you're not allowed to punch using the Square button. I also didn't allow Blast 2s, as otherwise you can just spam them to win.
Point of this "challenge" is to learn how to dodge enemy attacks and improve movement. As you can see by the video, I still have a long way to go. The fact that I was on red bar when I won is actually a little embarrassing. Yes I did watch too much Pannenkoek

Now about the fight itself. Both characters were on normal. I found that the most difficult thing about this challenge is definitely not pressing square, as it is engraved in your mind to start a combo after something like a Free Will or a sway heavy. At one point my thumb accidentally slid on both the square and the X button while trying to cancel a sway but I can assure you, the X button cancels it as well, so the square press did not matter. I got hit WAY more than I should've, but consider this video to be a proof of concept.
It just showcases how badly I still suck xd

If you want to discuss how dumb this challenge is because we're not comboing, or learn more about Tenkaichi 1, 2 and 3 so you can replicate this yourself, or just talk about the game in general, join our Discord server: https://discord.gg/ZY44rABt6G
