Smash Champion
Not really. You start defensive, and switch from there. If you start aggressivly, you'll spend up all of your kill moves. Once you get them too killing percentages it's 3x harder too kill them. Yes, start off defensive, but that's maybe for the first 30 seconds of the fight. You go for openings that your defensive game brings out, then punish.
You're last statement is also an example of sticking to one style: "Always try starting defensive".
Just saying...
Either way, deppending on the character you're playing against, the opponent sometimes can't do anything about your defensive game at the start of the fight.
