id love to play that guy, all i want to do is run away.
you dont really want to just be getting up close. hazama has sick range game, so outside of hakumens sword range is where you want to be. practicing combos is good, but if you dont take damage you get to play again. you should approach by any D, and hitconfirm it into D > do stuff. but you can also just stay away and keep zoning.
dont spam snake though, cuz even if youre mixing up which direction, it still lets them learn the timing. pressure them, but vary your timing, and use fakes once you have taught them that you are going to hit them with d. even though hes pretty scary with that potential iad c, you are also scary with your potential snake, which would beat that iad.
