Maverick Hunter Rank AAA

i was playing Megaman X8 and i get a hunter rank AAA after clearing a stage named Troia Base where it is a training base for Maverick Hunter to test their skill. Basically i like the idea "Maverick Hunter training" in the game, from Megaman X5 they have a pre-game tutorial where u can know the mechanism of the game before start hitting on the boss.

there are various of things u can learnt about Maverick Hunting. i usually emphasize 2 things in Maverick Hunting. XD defense and offense, u need to survive in order to kill the enemy
defense:- how to survive from enemy's attack? dodge them. always try to survive an attack. Jump over or dash under the attack opposing u. always find a way out for urself. blast at obstacle to open a way if u have to. even when u attack, try not to jump against an enemy which will cause u damage when u intercept with them, always try to survive. "the longer u survive, the lesser chance for ur opponent to win."

offense:- keep a shortest safe distance to attack ur enemy. the farther u r from the enemy, the safer u r. the closer u r to the enemy, the easier u getting to hit on them. therefore, u need to balance on how far u want to keep distance from the enemy. keep urself as far as possible while ur atack still can land on ur enemy.

other guidelines:
1- always cautious and conscious on what happen around u, and then plan what happen. act spontaniously and follow ur gut-feeling, if u do, u will find always urself getting through it.

2- when u r disadvantage and almost lose, don't bother thinking about u r losing and "try again next turn". if u have time for thinking calculating the chance u will lost, u will lose the time winning. fight as if there is no next turn! fight ur opponent until the last drop of hp u left. who knows if u can win ur opponent by a drop of hp? the winning is still winning

3- use the surroundings to get u advantage. for example: in Megaman series u can jump against the wall, kick it, and jump higher. u can make use of this triangle-jump technique to dodge enemy's attack(and some homing attack).

4- don't corner urself, don't stay at the corner and left u no place to hide. but, u can corner urself and let ur back stick to the wall to reduce the chance of being hit. instead of standing on an open space, u r open for attack from left, right or up direction; when u stick ur back on the wall, u will only to face enemy from front and above. reducing the atack rate for 1/3. also work for opponent that have unpredictable attacks, shut one of their attack route and keep on fighting.

5- when ur opponent is hidden and left u alone in the stage, what will u do? ur opponent is hidden and u cannot think of hitting them in anyway. u should walk around and ready to dodge for sudden atack. walk around so that u wont stuck on their homing attack that easily(instead of being a sitting duck). at the same time, keep an eye on ur opponent when they appear.

6- always dodge last minute, and only dodge when the attack is coming at u. what about homing attacks? whenever u r being aimed, dodge last minutes before u being hit. why last minute? if u weren't ur enemy will follow ur track and aims at u, running around will still have the attack lock onto u. and for most situation, it is always better if u stay put and decide on what to do. if u are being attack, dodge!
