How many players are aggressive or defensive players?

I like aggressive style and I think it works best in VF5. I played guys named Shubo, Shinn Akira, Jacalac, EmperorVF before and they were all really aggressive. Does everyone like this style? I think aggressive is the best and it works for my Jacky.

I consider myself i defensive player. But i pick and choose when to attack out of disadvantage (abare).

There are two types of players generally. Players who use offense as their defense, like attacking with 2p or busting moves that dont throw clash or using reverse nitaku. ( like 2k or Mule kicks with shun, dm P+K ). This is a valid strategy and alot of players do well with just this sadly. With this usually u just have back up and let them do their thing, when u have the advanatge backup and wait for them to whiff. There are people who play moral ( use etegs, fuzzy G, use vulnerable defensive tactics ) perhaps because they feel more confident in their defense more so than someone who relies all the defense on attacks. A good player has to mix those two options between the two styles. A good player, creates alot of variables.. not just resort to the same tactics over and over. People who are good pick the right time to abare, at the same time also pick situations to use defense LIKE ( ETEGS, FUzzy g, crouch fuzzy, etc. u should look these terms up). Sometimes these options may make u feel vulnerable, but sometimes in order to take a step foward u have to take a step back. Practise both abare DEF, and the actual defensive techniques that dont require attacking.

IF u do wanna use reverse nitaku and not get thrown. look at the BRAD STRATEGY GUIde, the graph in brad stragey section shows u how to use reverse nitaku. for ex. at minus 2 u can bust out a 21 frame move or sumthing without producing throw clashes...

I'm as aggressive as it gets, sometimes I have trouble differentiating the difference between looking at Jeffry and a bear, no pun intended.

Im an aggressive player, but I can handle defense as the need arises. I think 'proper' aggression stems from having good defense basics which allow you to take more risks and emerge untouched.
Personally my forte is forcing opponent to make wrong choices and capitalizing on them. I prefer to take the fight to the opponent instead of hanging back and waiting for opportunity. Depending on opponent though I sometimes step back and see if opponent is aggressive but Ill attack if I see chance.

I have a strong disllike on players who just run and run and run from me... that happens a lot in online. But I recognize its a valid tactic even though I dont like it.

Simply put I'm passive aggressive. It works better with Jeffry than Shun but I'm still learning Shun.

I use Lei Fei too, but I just can't play defensively with him. It doesn't mean that I attack out of disadv. I would just use a sabaki if possible, but I always press forward with him, dodging opponents moves with 9/3P+K, crushing rising attacks with 66K+G, pushing forward with 66P, crushing highs with 33P, etc. Just keep going going going...
And just when they want to beat you out of this flow... they end up caught in a sabaki move or a Doku P reversal laugh

With my ma(i)n, Wolf, though - it's different.
Here I really pay attention to using small advantage to safely pull off bigger moves and use staggers to apply pressure through simple mid/throw choice afterwards. IMO one just can't throw out moves randomly with Wolf, you'd get killed in no time.

I'm hyper defensive. I only attack with either throws or counters.
