It's not the same Katz, you're still talking like I pressure with Drive, whenever I push the D button I'm not trying to catch your pressure or mix you up. If I D during a blockstring, its to catch you trying to poke me out of pressure, which is easy as fuck to do, unlike every other character who can punish an attempted "poke out" by using a normal, I have to use a drive.
Noel Vs. Hazama:
Noel has Hazama in a pressure string. lets say: 5A > 2B > Dash in > 5A > 5A > 2B, do this enough times and the Hazama will notice when you dash in, so he tries to 2A out of your next dash, but you anticipate this, so you use Noel's 2D, in hopes the Hazama did try to 2A out of your pressure, if he did, you get a free combo, if he didn't you're fucked.
