Same as the main Hitomi guide, but without the music clips (well besides any in-game music).
The main guide is here: Dead or Alive 6: HITOMI ADVANCED GUIDE Tutorial: youtube.com/watch?v=2uaywk3B04M
This is a follow-up DOA6 guide to help people out if they're interested in Hitomi and would like an idea on how to approach learning her. This guide is mainly for letting you go a bit further than the novice guide, but not quite expert level with the character. Feel free to message me if you have any questions pertaining to anything. Cheers!

*Additional Notes
- Hitomi is a "Lightweight" character
- As a Hitomi player, it is particularly important to try and memorize as much of her moveset as possible for mix-up purposes
- Hitomi isn't really a "tech-based" character compared to some more advanced characters because the focus with this character is based around solid neutral fundamentals, footsies, and understanding of DOA6's systems & match-ups
