Yeah, when you're first learning, just getting lots of experience is important. Even if we said "do X" you would need experience to apply it. But some things you can do: 1) Post replays, so we can give tips. 2) Learn and know the purpose of each move, and use them with purpose rather than just flailing around. 3) Whenever you get hit, make a mental note of what you could've done instead to not get hit and try to do that next time.
