I found out the way to be really good at this game is to use a lot of these counters. It's more than just bobbing and weaving, the basic ones right. So how do you do these?

There are 4 basic counter moves.
Bob and weave
Body leans
Perfect blocks
Quick steps the sides or backwards
Depending on your fighter some of these will be better with some fighters than with others
i.e. Hearns is good at quick steps backwards and lean back counters due to his height. Pac is good at side stepping due to his excellent footspeed...etc -
How do you do quick side steps and perfect blocks? And also those quick head movements. Some guy destroyed me with that today lol.Comment

The quick steps are analog stick flicks in the desired direction.
Perfect blocks are punches that are blocked right before they hit you. If timed correctly they allow a window to counter. This is shown and illustrated in the Practice Mode of FN4 (the mode you go to when you first put in the game.
All of these counters require timing. You can't just lean back or to the side. Or you can't just continuously block. You have to do it right before a punch lands.
*Note when a counter punch window is available the camera will zoom in slightly.Comment

I just stick to basic head/body movement. Typically, I just like to box from the outside, use a lot of jabs to disrupt my opponet's rhythm, and string together good combinations when I can. (Jab, straight right hand, left hook, right uppercut is my favorite combo. But I also like to mix things up to keep the opponet guessing, so I paw with the jab to the body a lot, as well.)
When my opponet is cutting off the ring, or trying to gain ground on me ; I'll let him come in on me, and I immediately focus on my opponet's arms and fists more than I focus on anything else. Typically, I can see what kind of punch he's going to throw at me, so long as it isn't a jab. A good jab disrupts my timing, but I've noticed that a lot of people don't really use them that much. Or they simply use them TOO much, and are easily predicted.
If I'm anticipating my opponet's jab, I'll just bring up my guard to nullify it, and prevent him from getting off a combination. After I block it, I'll either spin off to the side, and hit him with a hook or uppercut as I move out of range, or I'll spin off into a different position, and wait for him to throw again while taking a defensive crouch while I anticipate his punches, and then weave my head accordingly.
I rarely ever block my face. I just never have, in any fight night. I use the block solely for deflecting jabs, and shots to the body. For everything else, I prefer to either move out or range, or bob and weave accordingly.
Practice makes perfect. Bump your difficulty up to GOAT, and practice, practice, practice.Comment

If your opp is throwing alot of head punches, rotate the left stick 90 degrees to duck under punches and throw a punch as soon as you see the camera tilt.
This is a very good technique, specially if you're Tyson.Comment

Precisely the technique I used to KO Ali when I was fighting him on G.O.A.T as Tyson.Originally posted by Mersey View Post
His height and reach was a real ***** to adjust to, though.
I found it much easier to switch sides, and knock out Tyson on G.O.A.T. as Ali. As nearly everything I threw at him from the outside was landing cleanly.Comment
