The key is watching for when he attempts the dodge, only throw 1 ARM or a Light arm so you can parry his first punch when you see the first bit of smoke. If you throw a light arm it should be back by the time he attempts a second punch making it easier to counter him and pull the game back into the Neutral. At least that's what I've observed!

Hey Guys,

Wondering how people are dealing with the Ninjara dodge/throw tactic.  His dodge seems to have extremely fast recovery? From the couple of games I've played against Ninjara, they can bait a punch, dodge and throw before your fist/fists can recover.

Does anyone know if you can block/dodge before his punch gets to you? I've not managed to test the timing yet.

Thanks.
