Two dueling questions, and a dancing grumble

First, a lot of my opponents seem to be able to do this "jump back on the sword hand/forward flip"move that not only avoids my strike, but inevitably tags me when then bounce back up like a `jack-in`-`the-box`. Ducking (#2) seems to work, but not reliably. Anyone know the proper counter to this?

Second, in a lot of fights, I see my guy with a sort of "double halo" spinning effect around his head, even in fights where I didn't get tagged. What is that, how does it happen, and do I care?

Finally, I'm getting better with practice, but DANCING is the hardest !@#$! thing in the game. It's worth the effort when you succeed, but even with the special goodies and the "wit and charm" advantage, I'm beginning to despair of every being terribly successfiul with the finer Firaxian ladies.

I know this isn't new, and I've read the advice I've found here. Just had to vent. But if anyone has any more bright ideas, I'm all ears.
 
Welcome te PA mate,glad tew 'ave ye aboard
Aye de acrobat flip be a tuff one,as ye said ducking werks sometimes ur ye can try hitt'n ter 8 key tew jump, other than that,get yer selself armour plate'n 'elps a lot if he does tag ye,would be nice if ye could move backwards,but not possible yet.

Dance'n be 'arder fer some den other's but if ye already read de advice,practice an more practice be de answer,I'm still tripp'n over me feet 30% O' de time <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
