The countdown is your health bar - getting hit or waiting around reduces the time you have left. If your time runs out, you're finished!

-> Dodge away at the correct time to avoid time penalties. The opponent telegraphs his attacks, beware of different timings!

-> Your opponent always has their guard up, so you have to strike them while they're exhausted

-> Reduce their health bar to 0 before the time runs out to win

Only one opponent with few attacks for now.
There is a known bug where the opponent does not telegraph his attacks sometimes. Please don't get discouraged by this :)
