Welcome.
When you're starting out with the character, build some distance between you and the opponent. Start using his longer pokes and get a feel for them like
or
. Don't whiff 4K though, try to land it on either hit or block.
Start other rounds by getting close and starting to use his other pokes and moves like
,
and
.
Just guage reaction after people get hit.
You mostly have two different types of people you'll go against;
-those that like to press more buttons because they don't like you grabbing them
-those that are pacient and trying to guage you out
If you're starting out, the first category is a lot easier to deal with.
Get used to trying to punish with grabs if you feel a move is unsafe on block. The more you do it, the better you'll react to it next time. That way you don't have to always and have to try to adapt to their style unless you're playing against ayane's or dealing with mixup heavy characters. If you punish, you slow the game down for them and force them to adapt to your pace.
Your best throws are
,
and TFBB. They're better than your strikes. You use your strikes to get to your throws.
Learn combos and setup because his are the easiest and take the least amount of time compared to other characters.
