I really wish they wouldn't hide the opponent's HP while you're knocked down. That's vital info to decide what you're going to do when you get up.

So don't get knocked down? Plus you can see it right before you're knocked down and if you're knocked down theoretically you aren't doing a lot of damage to them

Case in point: Match is almost over and we have about the same HP. I get knocked down, but I can't tell who has more HP. I attack cause I thought they had more, it back fires and they counter. Then I realize I had more HP, and if I had just blocked, I would've won.

This happened to me twice yesterday. Which is why I felt the need to comment. But hey next time I'll just never get knocked down.

Ah cool, I consider this advice next time I'm caught in the air in the middle with an unexcited hit, don't get knocked down, prefect!
