Dodging is important, some enemies are strong enough to punch you continuously. Using the dodge move you can get away for a while. Once the enemy is done attacking you will get the window to hit back. Dodging is highly important, press B to dodge an incoming attack. This move does not work if the enemy is not attacking you. If you can press the B key at the right time the enemy pause for a while. Hit X to counter-attack.
