Just spam Heli Kicks and Rage Kicks. You'll have massive life-lead victories in most fights and either beat the tournament mode or get very close to it. Because of how cheap and incomplete the A.I. is in this game (especially with the "GOTCHA!" throw loops), I see it as fair game to fight fire with fire (literally). Game tip aside, I love the game's amateurish design and feel, and it was an overall good part of my childhood. Glad it still functions as I remember, so I can revisit it whenever I feel like getting nostalgic.
