In example big tourneys I do every kick (almost, if I won't fly too far away) if I see that I'll fly like a turkey at thanksgiving I ussualy change's it a bit, so I'll still hit but not as hard. When I'm just playing for fun I don't do the super hard kicks that makes me fly far over the sky. I just change's it as I said before.
I would call the best fight where your kick allows your opponent come to you and continue the fight with out unnecessary cb's
Also I'm in the Student Council now
