Sadly i always tend to be OutMatched By a lot of Duelers so i end up Playing "None Traditionally" to avoid dying over and over and over.
Don't listen to some of these people. I use all styles now, and I started with Cyan. Cyan is almost useless against people that know what they're doing and do it really well. You'll find the best players don't whine about cyan, and they'll just find ways to beat your version of it.
Every single style has something BS about it, except Yellow. Red is broken, Purple is broken, Staff is broken, Duals are broken, Blue is broken, Cyan is broken, everything. Find something you like, and learn it. Make other people have to figure out how to play around it.
Once you learn proper timing and rhythm, every style is easy. It literally just depends on who you're fighting. I've fought a lot of cyan users, and honestly the hardest fights I've ever had, are against highly skilled blue users, and staff users.
Now, onto your actual question that everyone here glossed over:
Cyan has the fastest standing windup time of any swing. That is your only advantage when using Cyan. As a result, you have to use that fast windup, to land interrupts and precise body hits on your opponent. Going for parries is pointless unless your opponent has a habit of charging at you with single swings.
So, there are fast styles: Cyan, Blue, Staff, Duals
and Slow styles: Yellow, Purple, Red
Fast styles, have fast windups, slow styles, do not. Keep in mind, ALL COMBOS are the same speed. A cyan combo is the same speed as a red combo. Which means, you do not want to try combo-trading with a slow style, you'll get stomped. (Unless you use staff, that is)
Against a good red user, he'll just sit there, and pblock your swings, and then counter combo you when you present a weakness, if you just stand there, he'll feint a swing, and catch your parry swing with another counter combo. The 2 goals to fighting a red user with ANY fast style is: Fast footwork (Attack with WA, retreat with SA quickly, to avoid the WA counter, or attack with WD and escape with SD), and proper slap usage/reading. You need to constantly shift your position, relative to your opponent, so that he cannot pblock you properly, cyan is good for getting past Pblocks. If you get low, just back away, and fend off any wild swings with SA/SD, but be mindful of the opponent feinting you.
This goes for purple as well, but is a bit trickier against yellow. For now, I suggest you practice what I just explained, so you get a feeling for the rhythm/footwork of fighting against an opponent using red/purp.
