Forks on.
I have the advantage in every way that counts, which makes this tricky for a slower wedge like Tanto. Angle in on those big forks and get under it. I expect him to try to hook away, so watch which way he does so, reset the situation to neutral, and then look for another opening. This time, follow where he was going to reverse the previous time and hope the hard read pays off. if not, keep predicting which way he's going to escape until I get the opening I need. It only takes one, given he'll have a much harder time finding the same opening on me. Also keep an eye for feints he might pull - reversing out of the way, turning sharply in a different direction, anything like that. I need to anticipate where he'll be when I attack, not where he is when I decide to pull the trigger. If he gets me with such a trick once, I need to keep it logged mentally so he can't use it against me again, and be ready to intercept him if he uses such a tactic a second time. Stay sharp and don't get flustered.
Keep an eye on any movement my wedgelets do. If they're ever lifted up off the air by my opponent getting under me, I want to gun it in reverse, being sure to be wary of which direction i'm traveling so i don't fall into a hazard. Likewise, the hazards are my best friend in racking up damage points, so once I have my opponent trapped on my wedge, drop him off there and then pick him up again as he falls off, dazed and confused. Keep up the pressure as long as possible, especially once I have a lead. If I can make it look insurmountable for him, he just might give up mentally and start making more mistakes, and that's the key in a wedge match.
