I have a hard time in this mu as well. Personally, I just end up waiting for an opportunity to punish her with a kd and I never let up as she has no meterless reversals. I also use 6p alot in nuetral to stop Blatent and bad approaches. I end up running away alot against her too.
i think that combo is more used as a point of reference. But I have a question. How do you get the 2s -p- drill to combo. I have been trying for literally weeks and it still wont combo. I havent gotten it once.
I fight this mu often but I dont really have alot of problems. Zatos reflect works well against poor zoning tactics. You also if you have meter can puddle yrc to move around projectiles.
If your opponent becomes predictable, you can counter his zoning with drills as well.
I would suggest trying to learn doing zatos moves with the eddie out and preventing eddie from attacking until you want it to. The negative edging aspect of zato is imo only a fraction of why zato is a hard character. Once you learn that, practice moving around the eddie to where you want it to go while wasting as little of your own movement as possible. Im new to zato myself but these have really helped me
