My latest successes have come through with kinda stupid tactics like
--fakeout Akiha summon -> throw (hopefully right as Akiha connects) -> 5b -> 623b -> j.b j.c j.b j.c -> airthrow

but even on Kohaku, the damage from all that sucks.  Hard.  And Kohaku's range makes it tough to get in a decent Malice combo.

(And I hate her 236b-b sword thingie.)

I guess my biggest problem is that I've gotten so accustomed to using j.c for hitconfirms that fighting an all anti-air character (with insane range and speed) makes things a little trickier than what I'm used to.

So really, the trick is to keep up pressure/blockstrings and just not let her move?

Hmm...yeah.  I'm having trouble with my little brother's Kohaku (the scrubby Nero from before), mainly her ungodly 5B's and j.C's.  How should I go about fighting another Kohaku?

Ah, thanks very much.  Couple more questions for the sages here:

1) At what point, if any, would it be to my benefit to use the Kattos on Nero?
2) Is the divekick (j.2b) worth a lick against this guy?
3) I know VSion's Last Arc is a killer, but is it worth trying against this guy?  Activating would kill any meter for EX kattos and whatnot, plus it would leave me open for projectile buttrape.

And maybe I'm just not quick enough on the draw, but I've had issues with (EX shield his jC-> jC); sometimes it'll work and other times it won't.

Granted, I'm not Lord Manson by any stretch, but this M-H wasn't so hot.  Turtling in the corner only leaves you open for a setup, or at least a ballsy tick throw.

Well, stomp on frogs and shove a crowbar up my nose.  There ARE people in Texas who play something besides SSBM.   

I live in Houston, but saying I "play" this is a relative term.  Though, admittedly, I've stuck with it longer than I did Immaterial and Missing Power (since NOBODY plays that where I live, and all the netplayers are Sakuya-playing gods).

I'll probably get castrated for it, but I've never touched Guilty Gear.

Title says it all.  VSion is arguably my best character so far (though that's not saying much, sadly), and I can beat my little brother with just about everyone he uses...

...Except Nero.  My brother is notorious for picking turtling characters and abusing the hell out of them, and sadly, I cannot seem to find a way through this predicament.  (Never mind the fact that he FAILS with Warachia.)

He sits at full screen, spamming crows and what-you-may until I try a rushdown (since Akiha summon usually gets me crow-ed), at which point:
1) he uses j.C, a primary killer of my attacks (since it seems I can't reliably shield through it), or
2) a ground rush is met with 2a, 2b, etc.  out the wazoo.  Again, I can't reliably shield through all of these multi-hitters, and suffer for it.

The only reliable way to win is if I actually get him into the air (esp. in the corner), since he often techs right back into me and it makes j.C -> punishment that much easier.  The problem is landing a non-sucky hit to set that into motion.

I know the people who post in the VSion threads are advice gods, as I've visited here more than once.  So, I beseech you...teach me!   I am your willing pupil!  What do I need to do?
