Gameplay style to start off
1- Being up close to enemies help with dealing massive damage.

2- Timing, there is a slight delay when you see a punch or kick thrown at you, this helps prevent you parrying too early.

3- Although getting close helps with damage, being tactful and knowing when to back off helps, a good start is to flood your enemy with attacks then dashing away, holding the block makes you open to being cornered or losing control.
First skills to consider
1- First move you should get is 'Snap Kick' makes you get close and dealing decent damage to opponents quick and easily. It also allows for a lot of combo potential and is among the cheapest skills to unlock.

2- Following 'Snap Kick' and easy small combo is using 'Crotch Punch' immediately after, because if you are swarmed and targeting an enemy , 'Crotch Punch' lets you duck and high attacks from other enemies.

3- Lastly, arguably the best for crowd control is 'Environmental Mastery'. kicking objects from the ground into enemies helps with preventing being hit and is fast to be followed up with 'Snap Kick' or 'Crotch Punch'.

In total the moves will require 3000 exp, but unlocking them in this order will be easy.
Small problems.
If you are struggling on some aspects of the game, this part might help.

1- Bosses, if struggling to handle a boss or in tense situations, using your 'Sweep Kick' move will help, if you are unaware the move is unlocked at the beginning of the game. Using the sweep kick knocks an enemy down, using it again keeps them down, I recommend only doing it twice after a boss is knocked down.

2- Timing, as stated previously, there is a slight delay to the attacks thrown at you, but if you are in doubt, the training mode is always there for you. Dodging is slightly easier than parrying or countering, just remember, if you are in a tense situation, don't spam.

You should probably include some info about pushing away enemies into other enemies to stagger or stun them. Makes it easier to focus on a single target.
