that is an invaluable skill. part of learning ib'ing is, a lot of confidence, a LOT of patience, some technical skill, and some character knowledge. you have to take that first step into the ib'ing world. you have to next, be fluent with ib'ing nuances (being pretty exact with timing, pressing 4 8f before an attack), expect for ib to be something else (backdash, no block at all, this can be frustrating), and of course knowing how each character works. practicing ib on netplay for a week improved my defense tenfold.
