Strafing is personally a one of my most popular methods to get an advantage on my opponent in PvP. This may be a bit hard depending on the player you're going against. If it's a noob you should be just fine, but if it's a Sweat or a Tryhard, you would need to sit up and concentrate, 100%. It all starts with a Quick, First Hit. Once you do so this will increase the chances of a combo. Once in a combo, listen closely to these directions. Do NOT sprint (or Jump in other words). Go full speed straight while comboing. Then, while still going straight, go left, and quickly alternate to right while still going straight. Repeat this process to maintain the combo and successfully strafe. Northwest, Northeast.
