Block

Blocking is a defensive technique which allows the user to block any incoming attack. When an attack is successfully blocked, your opponent will be staggered, unable to attack and some of their stamina will be removed.

Tips for using block

 * Don't spam block. Anyone who can identify that you are spamming block will just not punch and waste your special bar.
 * Using block against someone with high fitness is a foolish move. They will just invalidate the stamina loss and continue punching you like it's nothing.
 * After using block, it is recommended that you move away. There is a slight period on which you cannot do anything after the block. Otherwise, your enemy will take advantage of that and land a free hit on you, possibly even resulting in a knockdown.

Tips for dealing with block

 * Predict when your enemy will block and try to waste their special.
 * If you can, try taking advantage of the slight period in which the blocker cannot do anything.
 * Players can only block three times in quick succession, no matter their stat. You can use this to further predict when they cannot block.
