Wow this is great information to absorb. Thanks a bunch! I guess holding down 5D/2D will create more openings to approach safely, but sometimes I always get the tendency to approach by iAD j.c or j.b. I know thats not a good idea to keep doing as my opponent will eventually get the pattern and punish accordingly so what are some tools that I can use while approaching while the staff is launched?
Also I am still trying to attempt to do that combo I struggled on though. Is holding 5D necessary for her overall corner combos? Again, this was the combo I am currently leaning towards.
5B 2C 6D 236B 236A 236C 236A 236B 63214A, A, B [5D 236C] etc.
I can never get the bracketed to work, and I'm not sure on how to fix this mess
