when faced with an opponent ghoul feels equal to or better than, his play will be to rush in hard and overwhelm them quickly. he's got enhanced strength and speed on his side, which will make the fact that he goes for weak points all the more painful. he fully embraces fighting dirty, so a lot of eyes, throats, joints, etc., are going to end up wrecked if he's not kept at a distance. he will also gladly make use of the items in the arena, despite how ridiculous they are. a tennis ball is bound to hurt when thrown by a werewolf, jump ropes surely don't feel good when they're being whipped at someone's face, and chair-pieces seem like they'd be fantastic for bashing or stabbing. he's not formally trained in any particular style of fighting, which makes him unpredictable. however, it also means he makes mistakes, falls for common feints, and doesn't use defensive maneuvers like he should. his tendency to sacrifice his own safety for the chance to score a great hit could hideously backfire on him.
if he's up against someone much larger and/or obviously stronger than him, his strategy will change a little. if he can use his smaller size and speed to dodge around his opponent then he'll attempt to do just that, until he can eventually wear them down with fleeting potshots. he'll be in trouble if the big guys are also fast and high-stamina, though.
his primary weakness is magic. it can be offensive magic, illusions, mind control, whatever- he has no defense against any of it, and if an opponent uses any sort of ranged magic, then he'll have a very tough time of taking them out since he needs to be close-range to deal his worst damage. the most he can do against a kiting magic user (or a ghost) is 1) throw things at them, 2) use his sense of smell/hearing to maybe track them if they're using vision-obscuring tricks, or 3) chase them around until one of them tires out.
aside from overpowering him with superior strength and speed, the best method of beating ghoul would be to patiently hang back, away from him, until he either runs out of steam or gets so frustrated that he becomes even more sloppy and reckless than usual.
