- the "Pause Strategy"
- Whenever you defend or attack a red dot, another one will immediately appear on you or your opponent. If one appears on your opponent, quickly hit it, then pause. You will see where the next red dot appears and will have time to plan your next move. Quickly unpause, attack or defend the red dot, then pause again. This may seem time consuming, but unless you have amazingly fast reflexes, this method will probably yield the best results***
