DOA5U Kasumi VS Helena (Me)

@ToKyo PewPew. Thank you so much for that in depth analysis! Really helps a lot :D
Ictinike already said the important things, but maybe I can add some: Against Kasumi, you can take huge advantage of your Bokuho duck. Kasumi's jumping kick for example (her 66KK, used a lot by that player here) has a shitty hitbox as well as her mid punches (only 4P and 3P are dangerous for you) so if you use your stance more, you can evase them better or will not even get hit, like you did at 1:40. Kasumi is hella unsafe on block which means you can throw punish a lot or go for a fast mids to land easy counterhits if you notice that your opponent is just mashing attacks.

Try to be more patient. That Kasumi player started attacking as soon as you moved a bit closer, so why not just move a bit forward and block then. You do not always need to get in with attacks, especially because Helena struggles there a bit. Once you blocked his attacks, you are in huge advantage in most cases.

Just some info that might be easier to learn for you by seeing them in your video here:

Kasumi's attack at 0:27: Hits you in Bokuho, but is slow and unsafe on block, so you can go for counterhit or throw punishment

Kasumi's move at 0:35: This is a mid punch followed by a high punch. Your Bokuho duck will evase both attacks, leaving her open vulnerable for your offense.

Kasumi's move at 0:49: A mid punch that has that knee follow-up. It will hit you in your Bokuho, but it is unsafe on block. In Bokuho duck, both will whiff.

Kasumi's kicks at 1:02: They are unsafe too, just block and you will be fine. After the first kick, you can even go for a high crush, since the second kick is a high.

Using Helenas handslaps like you did at 0:58 will help you too, it cruhes almost everything that is put on screen by the opponent. You might have noticed that at the end of the fight.

Hope it helps you :)
I'm no expert myself, but the first thing I can see is that you should block more. That Kasumi was throwing out quite a bit of punishable attacks. Granted, it was online, but still. Also, I would say to learn to read your opponent better. That Kasumi spaced out and came at you with a running K majority of the time.

You did a nice Bokuho duck at about the 1:40 mark. Work on incorporating that more and crushing in general.
