Depends on your designs, style matchups, and general arena makeup.  If you
didn't hit your opponents at all you probably chose quite a few defensive
styles, didn't run "correctly", or just fought 4 very well designed characters.

Please post your characters' stats.  When I first started playing DM, I did
awful.  After learning the tricks of the trade it's easy to run 60% W/L.

> 3.  How come I never hit anyone?

Again, need to know your designs and the style matchups.

> 4.  Should I Bloodfeud?

In this case, I would probably hold off on it until you learn some more
game mechanics.

> 5.  What would you recommend for my new fighter: 6-5-9-10-14-9-17?

A very good rollup.
8 5 9 15 17 9 21  PL, start with SH, raise ST first turn for SS, run like
                  a lunger until you pick up parry and defensive skills.
                  10-10-6-L is fine for 1st minute

I would recommend PR, PS, or TP, but since you're just starting out, I'd go
with PL
