Today, we'll be going over types of fighting styles.

Close-range

This type of fighter likes to take things up close and personal. Expect quite a lot of melee from them.

How to Fight as One:

• You're going to need to keep a small field at all times.
• It's easy for you to fight a long-distance fighter at close-range because they aren't used to people like you.
• Bring weapons. At such a close range, they'll either need a shield to constantly block you, or they'll run away. Or they may be a good close-range fighter and trash you.
• THICK armor. You're going going to be right up there, and there's not much separating you and the opponent's weapon. Mail and Armor Suits are exceptionally good at stopping attacks.
• Learn melee. Things like martial arts. At least learn punches, kicks, etc.
• Create Openings. Many times, this can allow you to use close-range techniques. For example, rasengan is so easy to block that I need some type of opening to use it. Preoccupying the opponent with doppelgangers and explosions are good diversions.
• Variations. Go unorthodox! You don't want someone reading you like a picture book.
  

How to Defend Against One:

• Thick armor. They'll probably go in for the kill, so...
• Move often. Melee attacks are straightforward, and moving out of the way can create a major opening.
• Keep a large field. Keeping a large field will force them to use long-distance attacks, which they most likely will not be so great in.

Long-distance

A fighter like this will not stay around you. In fact, they'll fight you from far away.

How to Fight as One:

• Projectiles. Arrows, kunai, darts, etc. These can distract the opponent.
• Rapid succesion and high quantity. Less is more applies here. The less time you can shoot a bunch in, the more attacks will land.
• Wide-ranged attacks. A nuke dropped will sweep an area, and not just one spot.
• Keep a wide field. If not, you'll be boxed in and defenseless.

How to Defend Against One:

• Little space and/or melee. These fighters need distance, and by closing in on them, they won't have time to fire.
• Speed. This shuts out any chance they have of attacking.
• Random directional movement. They will constantly need to change aim, and they will have less of a chance of hitting you.

 

I'm sure there are more, but the majority of those are plainly combinations of the two.

Prepare well, and you'll be a great fighter.

 

I mean, it's epic.
