1) Don't get into this mindset of just "throwing out" normals. They should have a general purpose. If you're having trouble hitconfirming it's because you normals had no purpose so you weren't really paying attention. If you're not expecting it to hit or at least do something then how can you react when they do?
2) There is no set way to pressure. 5B, 6B, and ressenga are + on block, he has a great command grab, and his 5B, 5C, and 2C are jump cancellable on block. Basically, you need to think about how to effectively pressure with those tools. This character isn't so much "set pressure string" as he is using his fantastic normals in your favor. If you want braindead normals/pressure, I suggest Hakumen/Mu.
Basically, instead of asking us "what are great x-copy things I can do to win" you should ask how each tool works, what makes it work, and what situations it would be best suited for.
