Play dry = lame, there is no hurry to rush him down. In human mode you can play footsies with 5C. If he's backing you into the corner you can super jump D > wj.236B > wolf brake > wj.66D out.

 

You'll have to play even more passive when he has spark bolt, since you know, you don't know when he'll use it and he can shoot it diagonally up, catching you in the air. If he super jumps, it's better to challenge him with wj.A. Using w5B has the risk of losing to j.2C, which fatals now and goes into 5k+. When you have him locked down, spaced w5A is good since he can't 360 you in that range, and if he backdashes you can catch the recovery with a mash or w5B (w5C may be hard). It only becomes difficult when he has meter.
