1. Hisui's pressure is fucking absurd Nam, she has some INESCAPABLE (outside of using burst) setups for christ's sake, she is scary as all hell. The way the Japanese continue to evolve with her is mind blowing. It's a hard act for me to follow, but I'm following it none the less. Eventually I'll get 'somewhere' with it ;p.
2. Zoning is fine with Hisui, but it cuts off what makes her scary (her offensive pressure). You can throw pots and try to bait shit with arc drives all day, but that's not as effective as getting ONE block string into ex-dust in the corner and then going to town. You're better off playing hit and run instead of just RUN, but that's just my opinion.
I'm not going to argue with you, because I simply have no information for either side to make an argument. There are no real big name Hisui's that I'm aware of that I can study 24/7, mostly because I don't have the time(nor care enough) to look for one, and one's not glaring at my face like Yukinose for akihas for example. From watching you, the only pressure that even remotely "pressured" me was when you used the ex-dust to keep me on block while you iad+C. Your tick throw into b bento pressure setups were okay, but like... its too obvious that you were just going to pressure me, so all I had to do was block and wait for it to finish. Thats why I opt for the tick throw to a bento throw loop(unofficial name), even though through playing Zar, I'm realizing its vulnerabilities(its still useful, but not as infallable as I once thought).
But, I guess thats also a testament to our personalities, and where we are right now. I'm much more defensive. I don't want to put myself in the fray so much because I still have a blockstring that worked when charged 5C was unstoppable in my eyes. It still comes automatically for me, so to offset that, I'd much rather keep my distance as long as my pots can give me. You're definitely more aggressive(relative to me) and would rather keep on the offensive, and keep the pressure up.
Though, you're words intrigue me. Can you show me some vids of these "Inescapeable" blockstrings so I may be able to use it against you?
And to Rei: You just gotta practice more. You mess up the combo's you really have to make natural. You definitely have the potential, but your character demands perfection.
