Im not sure how to get kick decaps. I find punches and knees more reliable. Before dueling i would scout out the metagame. I would try to have an answer to the three most comon oppeners. If you win and you wernt sure how save the replay. See what went right for you. As you figure out counters to common situations you'll see patterns emerge. As you see these patterns you can become more of a counter fighter. Finding good people to play against is a must. And if you save close losses you can go back later to see if you can figure out a counter.
