I just use that strat from that one vid that tells you to j.D right before you land so that you're already in drive. Once you have that going, just do it almost right in front of him ( Just out of his range though) then 214D to get around him, hit him to the other side of the screen and unleash a combo on him.
That's how I usually get them at least.
Or have them come to you, that works too, as someone else just said.
