Some more Tips
When jumping you do not actually crit people you will only crit them when you are falling.
Bow - Make sure you know you players next move before you take a shot or notice a pattern he is trying to dodge in.
Sword - Strafing and hitting usually gives you the upper hand as your opponent will think that you will fight him directly but when strafing you will knock him to the side. (Also you can jump strafe your opponent but you may want to hit them as you are falling and not jumping as this will give you a crit)
Fishing Rod - Hitting a player with the fishing rod between 1-8 will give you a chance to knock him back into the air and will allow you to get a combo on him which he will not be able to stop you may not be able to do this as most professional players use it but you can practice.
Flint and steel - Flint and steel is easy. Make sure you have it in your hot bar and as you are being chased you want to do a 180 and place you flint and steel where you opponent is running this will make him run into your fire and start to lose health because he is burning. This will give you a chance to take his health down more before you go in for the kill.
F5 - This is a good tactic to see who is behind you and will allow you to see what they are doing for example you can see if they are aiming a bow at you and then you can go left or right instead of running straight to dodge the arrow.
