You guys obviously have an idea of what you're doing (combos/blockstrings etc) but there are some obvious holes you can easily fix. His blockstring is quite loose and isn't worth blocking over since he's just spamming 2b5a, IAD jb, and dash 2a/throw. He's not even hitconfirming the 2b into 5c 214b for the knockdown. During the corner "lockdown" just jump neutral/back or jump forward w/ jA or something when you smell a gap. Even when you fight better Nanayas who know how to do mean blockstrings and hitconfirm, this is probably one of your best options. When you're not in the corner, backdash/jump or something.
- When you both get knocked down at the same time, always neutral tech (but don't always tech when he's in neutral, in fact never tech if you're remotely near him due to 2C ez-mode punish)
- If you have excess meter to burn (MAX), feel free to 236b? into 236C for +frames during your blockstring so you can get in closer and do mixups
Actually your VSion is better than his Nanaya imo, but yeah you give him too much respect for his worth. You let him run 2b5a x100 on you, which is something that should be punished.
God I hate Nanaya. Good thing he's relatively not so great in MBAA.
