Kasumi is the last character you want to turtle with. I don't see how she teaches you to "run"

In short:
I'm going to to Shimbori's office to tell him Alpha's parry fucking sucks. It's horrible, it's useless against moves that have a long range. So there is literally no point at parrying pokes. Kasumi's parry is one of the best tools in DOA. Oh, and it can also be hella blocked. Using a parry should never be as risky as it is for Alpha. Especially when she has no fucking counters.

Ah okay, I see what you mean. She has no recovery either. She's the only character you can't slow escape with. I still enjoy playing w. her though

I know this! But you see if you can get to the root of my "personal problem" as you put it! I already know I lack knowledge, so it's gotta be something else.
Btw, I saw your post about how most play the individuals like they're the other characters! Wonder why?

Still play her. Not really my main as much as she was. I find her 100% better offline then online. I wont even use her anymore online. Unless playing friends. Being able to punish is a major chunk of her game. Online is just stupid when it come to punishing. Hell 75% of the time she get out mashed by slower characters lol
btw she has dlc coming lol, rip of kasumi but its something

She gets mashed by everybody; yet, she's the mashiest character there is! Ironic! Even if she evokes, "delayed mashing" (whatever the fuck that is)
Give Alpha her own shit, for fucks sake!

That's a pretty cool looking setup, but I think Alpha's the only character that doesn't need PFTs. She can still get guaranteed FTs with 4K. I don't know if it's common knowledge yet but yeah, been that way since they removed FTs (or tried to)
4K, 6K, 2H+K
(if they don't tech up and hold it)
FLT P (see aforementioned; FLT P + 2K/2H+K ... - the broom kick)
The AlpHelena 4K6K (as it's a mid; I wouldn't recommend unless you press Hold quickly)
Sometimes it's wise to back off of FTs though - whether PFT or legit!
Btw, she can delay and manipulate the quantity of sweeps even if she makes them painfully obvious! This is the reason for 2H+K(Hold)4 and all it's variants

FLT P (you can get 8T off of this if you fast enough) 8T, FLT P, 8T
FLT P 2H+K (please manipulate the entire string unless you're sure you get it off)
2K. 2H+K (I'm doing some against Leifang on a wall using 8KKKK to ground her)
FLT P + BT 7K (this produces KB, but I'll call it a FT or PFT if you wish) or FLT P + BT 8K
6K is a FT
4K6K as well (but press Hold immediately) and gotta be near a wall (if they don't tech up!
3H+K (I had to pull it off three times on a wall; stun, launch, FT when Leifang dropped; 3H+K(4x) also worked. Beware of launch height obviously)
If you're doing the KKKKK7K combo, 7K PFT (have to dash to get near grounded opponent; it just happened by chance where I did dash/run when executed on the Leifang dummy)
3H+K (when you get a launch), 2H+K2K2K) [Brad has a similar low launch height, low sweep combo, too)
3H+K(twice) 2KKK (the first and/or second K in 2KKK, should FT often it'll be the first K)
FLT P 2H+K (please manipulate the entire string unless you're sure you get it off)
2K. 2H+K (I'm doing some against Leifang on a wall using 8KKKK to ground her)
FLT P + BT 7K (this produces KB, but I'll call it a FT or PFT if you wish) or FLT P + BT 8K
6K is a FT
