Great thread. Some of these things I really didn't know. It may not be much but I'll try to share what I know about my characters:
Kasumi has very fast punches up close and her ability to mix up is really good. But as she is very unsafe, if the player isn't free cancelling A LOT you have some opportunities to punish. If they do the second hit of , , or if they finish any of her strings starting with and you manage to block the last hit you can usually throw punish her. The second hit of and can also be low punished on block if you're fast enough. Also randomly throwing out holds is a bad idea against Kasumi. You'll be pretty much giving her free throw punishes and you don't want that.
Like was already said Mila's tackles can be low thrown. But the best way to avoid them is to learn what moves she can cancel into her feint. This pretty much just takes practice and acquiring more knowledge of the character. Just be aware that the tackle is not her only option when she does the feint. She can opt for the mid punch or mid kick instead or even do nothing to try and bait out an attempted punish.
