Berserker
One of Launcher's best match ups. She excels at playing keep away and stalling Berserker's frenzy with hard to approach zoning. She also does well stopping Berserker from safely entering frenzy with buttons like 5A, 6S, 5B, and 5M.

Launcher will win most round start interactions with either 5A or 2A. If either of those options are jumped she can cancel into 623M to punish any jump-in attacks afterwards.
Outside of round start you'll want to keep yourself at max 5A distance. This will allow you to set up 5A > 5AA > [5B] > 236M to catch immediate rolls with 236M or delay rolls with 2A.
At 5AA distance 2B will be your lifeline. It is the one move that keeps Berserker at bay coupled with whiff cancels into 5S, 6S or 2S.
From full screen harass with 5B and 2B whiff anceled into 5S or 6S. If Berserker enters frenzy expect a deep jump-in or roll and be prepared to 2S or 4S after 2B respectively.
Offense
During block strings make sure you're spacing yourself outside of Berserker 2B range as this will low profile Launcher's 5S and 6S. If you find yourself too close you can use 2B and react to jumps with 2S and rolls with 4S.
Once you score a hit be sure to end the follow up in either 4S for okiShort for "Okizeme" Attacking an opponent about to wake up after they were knocked down, usually with meaty attacks or mix-ups. or 5M to deny conversionImmediately cancel the recovery of any move using White Damage..
Defense
Be patient. This is possibly the hardest part of the match up where two incorrect guesses on defense can cost you the round.
In order for Berserker to keep up pressure on block after 236M he must leave a slight gap to re-enter frenzy. This gap can be exploited with 623M.
Another exploitable gap is between jA and 2A during Berserker's conversion High-LowA mixup where the opponent must choose between blocking high and low. mixup. If you block the overhead jA then the follow up 2A is not true and can be interrupted with 623M.
A common guard cancel point is when Berserker using 5M (frenzy) in a block string to reset pressure. Otherwise always be aware white damage before considering guard cancel and never guard cancel during frenzy unless you are absolutely sure it will connect.
