i hated every mission that was tilt....look at it this way
when you hit, your eyes glow...if ur eyes are glowing, their HP is draining, as if they were poisoned. the trick (if you'd call it that), is to keep at a distance, low block, when they get close, land a small combo, dash in and throw them as soon as they stand up. if eats up time, and since it takes so many frames for the throws or w/e, their life loss is greater. of course, during this, they will hit you a bunch also, so you have to play offensive minded, but landing a hit, followed by a throw is pretty slick way to win these.
