I forgot to mention about your desperation strategy vs off.  I think that
your offense and KD are too high.  If you are desperate and you
are going to lose then go defensive with low KD and take the loss.
Most likely you will go desperate in the 1st minute.  By dodging
and going very defensive you have a chance of recovering.  Now is
not the time to try and get that lucky hit and win the fight.  Now
is the time to avoid getting killed.  Of course, against defensives
you will probably go desperate due to getting scummed in which case
going all out in desperation is not that bad an idea since you can
get that last hit or two to win the fight.  Chances are that the
defensive is going slow too and won't keep the initiative.  Of course,
the one possible problem is the wall of steel who turtled the first
two minutes and then is going 10-4-10 or so in the 3rd.  If he is
pounding you in the 3rd he might have the initiative to keep on pounding
you and your going all out will not do wonders to your defense.  But
if you do have expert attack then maybe you won't have to worry about
fighting a defensive into the 3rd.
