DOA 2 Hardcore Bug (everyone knows, I think)

I still play this fast-paced fighting game sometimes when I have some free time. I knew this bug about six years ago, this bug applies in any difficulty levels.

Info about the default Keys:
u: up
d: down
b: back
f: forward
uf: up+forward
fd: forward+down
db: down+back
bu: back+up
p: punch (triangle)
k: kick (circle)
h: free (square) / hold if simultaneously pushed with db, bu or b / block
t: throw (x)

Note: if you see a command like this: b, f + p means that you have to push back first, then forward instantly followed by p (triangle) button or push the f (forward) and p (triangle) button simultaneously.
Just for some information; my favorite character is Ein/Hayate, I often use the b, f + p or d, fd, f + p moves, these moves actually the basic moves of Karate. If you use one of these moves and it hits the opponent directly (he/she doesn't block your attack), he/she may be thrown back really fast and lies for a while on the ground, once you are in this condition, juts keep using the same moves until he/she gets back on his/her feet (but don't try to hit him/her with this same move if he/she has recovered or he/she will definitely hold your attack and does critical damage to you), after he/she stands up all you have to do is to use the strongest throw move of your character, here I frequently use the fd, fd + t move as this is the best throw move for Ein. You can even do extreme damage if your opponent is cornered (trapped between you and the wall or the Danger Zone).
If this is the 1st round, this trick will work in 96% certainty. After succeeding, do other moves for a while as the AI will memorize your pattern.
Of course, sometimes, the enemy fight fiercely like a hungry tiger, there is nothing much you can do but to pause the game and see carefully or guess what he/she going to do next, nevertheless, I don’t really like this method.
Furthermore, you might consider doing this move f + p + k to trick your enemy if you are using Ein because this is the easiest and quite fast tricky move, however, your enemy can simply use high or middle hold to knock you to the ground if you are not careful since this move uses both of Ein's hand to deliver the blow. You are possible to use this same trick with all of the charas in the game, especially Tengu with his u + k move.
The conclusion is if you’re using the same move a lot or successfully strike the enemy with the same move twice (in this case, a move that knocks the enemy down to the ground), the AI tends to commit to memory your move and will anticipate your next move, just simply change your moves if you see some sign of the enemy learning your pattern, or use the strongest throw as I mentioned above.

Jan Lee’s trick. Hit the enemy using the throw move f + t three times consequently, once you succeed, use the f + p, p (this should do the counter blows, then) uf + p (then) bu + k (then) p, p, p, f + p. (Percentage of success: 98%). After doing this, fight normally temporarily, then perform this trick again, consequently, your opponent would go down so fast that you wouldn’t EVEN realize you have won the match.

Exception: Helena is the one who WON’T be fooled so easily, well, she can be caught off guard if you use the trick but I don’t think that’s very common. For me, Helena is the toughest character to fight against and a quite hard character to play as.

Special Thanks to:
