Offense
- If this move hits, what will I do after?
- If this move misses, what kind of damage will I take (or where will it leave me on the screen)?
- How can this move be evaded?
- If this move blocks, what can they punish with? Did they punish it last time or is this the first time I’ve shown it to them?
Defense
- What move are they most likely to throw out right now (taking into consideration their lifebar, the range you are at, the character they’re playing, etc.)?
- What move, if any, can I punish with if I block?
- What are they most likely to follow up with if this move hits me?
- What are they most likely to follow up with afterwards?
- Is it better to block or try to counter?
Wakeup
- What is the risk of blocking?
- What is the risk of doing a wakeup move (such as Shoryuken, Flash Kick, etc.)?
- Did they attack me last time?
- How likely are they to throw?
