BLOCKING
========

While blocking (F-button) you can only block attacks from enemies that stand IN FRONT of you. Enemy-attacks from behind can't be blocked.

Note that some enemies have unblockable attacks, such as counter attacks (indicated by a blue flash)
Note that projectiles like knives, bullets or fireballs can't be blocked

GUARD BREAKER
=============

Some enemies can block as well. If you're attacking an enemy that is blocking, the enemy will flash white.
In order to break an enemy's guard, you need to perform the guard breaker combo:

Jab - Punch - Kick (S-button twice in a row + D-button)

A light blue flash on your character will indicate that you've performed the guard breaker combo successfully.
