Strategies
Drunken Master its the unorthodox rush and defensive counter short sized character of the game, you have a lot of mixups and resets options after use his counter specials, your main objective will be about going to forward your opponent to a medium-close and surprise him/her with a counter move or use your canteen as anti air at far distance.
