What you were primarily missing was getting good confirms into knockdown and being too shy about pressing buttons in neutral. Also your punishes were not on point.

For Confirms im primarily thinking about your 5P anti airs (which you also used sparingly) - when you hit you never jump cancelled or retried into 5P for a jump cancel knockdown combo.

You should definitely use way more f5S as a poke/neutral tool. Especially against Faust it works amazingly well (it can beat his f5S clean). Other wise I would try to be more frantic with the movement - Kum is fast and has good reach, which is something that can work in his favour. Use that advantage to catch the opponents by suprise (IAD j.S for example was something you never did).

Vs Faust specifically I would not rely on Haehyuns Projectiles at all. Faust can simply crouch under and still poke you in the meantime - you dont gain anything by doing it. Instead poke more into Hayabusa and just be patient. If Faust does 5S into item throw on block, you can punish with 6HS - its a counter hit so you get a very good knockdown, corner carry AND since you use 6H you avoid a lot of possible items (unfortunately not all items). And even if you get hit with an item (i think it has to be hammer) you get way shorter recovery, which means youre more flexible with your Oki regardless of screen position.

The raven match you just kinda got steamrolled.  If you look at it you may be able to figure out what spots you could have done something differently.  For example, at 15 second into the video you whiff a f.S but you recover before Raven's air projectile gets out.  Always keep your eyes on the opponent character.  This was your chance to get away from it but you just stood there and blocked.  You could have backdashed for example.  Then you wouldn't have had to block it and get pressured which lead to everything else bad that happened.  At the start of round 2 you do forward j.K but nothing after it.  If you were going to jump forward with an attack probably would have been better to use another button with gatling options (j.P for example).

Here are some matches ive done in tourney against zato over this year. Basically i dont know what to do in neutral with kum or other characters. Ive been told things like how i jump too much, get hit by too many drills, need to kill the puddle and stop raw summons. I feel so limited whenever i vs zatos and have no idea how im supposed to approach so any general or kum specific advice would be greatly appreciated.

edit: Also dont worry about things like combo drops, i want to focus on knowing the neutral.

In general, I'd just throw fireballs and basically be patient.  Wait for an opportunity to do an air combo for big damage or an opening to knockdown my opponent to do a fireball from behind + 5H crossup.  

Sorry to necro!  But also testing out something on these forums  =)  (how to make the forum bolded w/ new content again).
