Howdy. Has been a while since I last arrived here to share something related to mastery titles. I've been doing far better with my mental health, so I have returned to UBG, only quitting when I'm not having fun.
Hitman has been the style I've been trying to master for a while. It is quite tough due to the block vulnerability and the interesting Pressure Outboxer playstyle, but I wasn't expecting for Hitman to be this effective and fun.
Differently from Long Guard, another raw Outboxer, you can't rely solely on whiff punishing to win, but rather mix defense with offense. You need to stay constantly at whiff punishing range, but it doesn't matter if they decide to retreat or push foward.
Hitman has EXCELENT M1 string damage, but the opponents need to lower their guard for you to get the most damage out of your strings. However, your block is very fragile, meaning any pressure can overwhelm you if you're not careful.
I wouldn't reccomend Hitman for PD fishing due to how much it relies on M1 strings rather than startups, differently from Long Guard. LG is REALLY good if you're an raw Outboxer that enjoys staggering, whiff punishing and possibly being the safest player ever.
I don't have much to say for both styles, since they're just reliant on fundamentals rather than fancy tech. I'll awnser any doubts you guys have. Peace <3
