What style? IMO, there is only one style, win.

Never noticed that in every movie there is a love story?
I can only speak as a new player. Thrown into an arena where only my opponent or I can leave alive, and most of my opponents are exponentially stronger than me, I must fight to the best of my ability, which doesn’t include “proper” moves as I don’t know them. If my opponent has a black belt in karate and is playing according to karate tournament conventions (which I am unaware of), he can expect lots of improper, ineffective behavior on my part, such as pokes toward the eyes and kicks toward the family jewels. If he gets frustrated, conquering his own mind becomes a more important task for him than conquering me.

To get more even or near-even games, you can create custom challenges that restrict the rank range of your opponent.

Think about what happens when you play a teaching game against a player who is 4 stones weaker than you, and who plays lots of belligerent attacking moves. Most of their moves don’t make real threats, or the threats are very small compared to the big positional moves, and so rather than outfighting them you probably win using solid shape and good positional judgement because that will help them learn.
Note that this is also what would happen if a person 4 stones stronger than you played a teaching game against one of your belligerent opponents at your level. In other words, you don’t actually have to get sucked into your opponent’s crazy attacking style - if you play your own style well then the attacks will bounce off you and you will mop up all of the weaknesses that they leave behind. I find that I learn the most by trying to play solid against hyper-aggressive players at my level.
