Nah I don't play him. I just like getting my ass kicked by him regularly in DOA6 lol.
The basic tips I can give you, try and bait holds. His grabs are extremely powerful. Additionally, sidestepping is quite overused still, and his offensive holds can really help with that.
Don't be afraid to play at longer distances. He has good range and can outspace many characters in the cast. He has some really good options from range, including his running offensive hold.
