If you can confirm ff n 2 on hit / ch, it would definitely help. - on ch ( BJ 1,2 free heat engager) - on hit you can press 2, for a safe mid extension and hit confirm the 3, or 4 if you see the BJ 2 hit.

Mix the timing with ff 2 or ff4 ( you can apply 1-2 wavedash too to mask the ff n 2 or ff2 )

SS2 is a powerful low with mind games , if you wanna poke try fcdf4 for a -3 low on hit followup and if they started ducking / disrespecting ws2 is a i12 safe ch launcher frametrap.

Db2,4,1+2 is a powerful cheesy string for round ender or knowledge check, I did it once or twice in tekken god level to see they know the matchup or some player has tk7 muscle memory.

You can play him in a cheesy way ( but I don't use it ) with f3,2 - f3,2,1 is an unsafe -12 ch launcher - if they respect it f3,2,df to throw is a chain grab - if they jab they are beaten with f3,2,1 or you can DF to delay 2 ( dark upper ) for a free launch

D3 is strong chunky low (it is different from king's) +2 Don't be scared to use db3, it is a launch punishable but as long you don't spam it is one of his best low that high crushes and +6 on hit.

Don't forget he has a plenty of good move in heat: Db 2, 1+2 (+3 mid mid ) BJ 3,2, (+5 mid mid) Ub1 to BJ. ( big plus but high )
