As an almost crazy noob,i'm always provocating the adversary to let him be countered (qwan and his english) by the hs and the air hs (and take him an half part of his life).But it's absolutely unsafe.
At the end ,i think that the best way is to play "adapted" with the adversary and the personnage of the adversary..play as more as possible with counter,try to mind game with the few not too hard trick that may own, and make a lot of whoop wich make the adversary fear!
