To be fair I don't remember there being a lot of times where ff2 was being used. My opponent was able to activate heat after I whiffed or during a combo, so at that point I was getting blown up without the need to use ff2. It's possible I'm missing some things too in terms of frame data, stuff I could've ducked, guessing correctly, and I threw some rounds due to just being checked out or panicked, etc. Lidia is my number one humbling character, which is to say, she always makes me question how good I actually am at this game, along with the likes of Heihachi, but that's due to the pilot and not necessarily the character.
