Yeah, or he ducks under the swing if you counter at the last instant. One of 
those games where watching it is almost as fun as playing it.

I think the "you can throw with this combo" signal might stay up on the 
screen an instant longer than it's actually valid. If I hit that the instant 
it comes up, it always works. If I hit it late, I get whichever button I 
happened to press first in the combo.

Yes, somewhat. When you slow down a little, it's easier to think about which 
button does which, at least for the complex stuff like dodge and claw.

Now I'm semi-stuck trying to get past two knifemen at once. I think I need 
to practice my dodging a while.

I found a text online with a lot of details. He attacks who he's facing (at 
least for stuff other then "counter"), so you have to hit the stick until he 
turns where you want to punch, *then* punch.
