I played L4D2 online with people that stop Hunters from getting them almost always.
Instead, they get me 7-8 out of 10 times. How can I improve my chances to block hunters?

Valve removed the vocalization commands to stop people spamming in multiplayer games, all that is left are the speech wheel that come up when you press z or x (using default controls).
Edit: This is the very hacky way of doing it through the radial commands which may or may not work.
This is probably an "at your own risk" thing, I doubt this would make VAC go after you, but who knows.

Enabling gore in the censored Aussie versions of the L4D2 demo is as easy as editing 1 character in 2 text files:
Change the app id 590 to 510 in these two files:
Save them and run the left4dead2.exe executable directly (not through steam icon/games list). This should be located in a directory like C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead 2 demo, just like the first file above.
Your status will say that you're playing "Left 4 Dead Dedicated Server", but the L4D2 Demo will start and you'll be able to play with gore enabled (no more disappearing zombies, more blood, decapitations/dismemberment, splatter on the screen, etc.!)
You will also still be able to start lobbies, invite friends and join games in progress on servers.

You can melee a hunter mid-leap to cancel its attack and stun it. It requires some practice on the timing to get it perfect, but it's extremely effective, especially since the hunter is so loud before it pounces. Learn to identify the different sounds each infected make so you know what to prepare for.
After you stun it, you can deal with it however you see fit. If you melee it enough times that will kill it too, and is a satisfying way to taunt hunters who get too close to you.
