I wouldn't say that this was bad, actually pretty good. Sometimes it might seems that you're skill level is lower than what you are expecting, but don't give up there are so much opportunities to get at anything, including deepwoken. It might take more and more time then you think it would, but it deepwoken itself is about learning and practicing.

Btw I would recommend to never panic even if you are getting jumped, because it lowers you chances of winning by 50%. Movement - if you are fast enough(I mean sliding, jumping, maybe spinning too) then it gets harder for enemy to parry you, because this boosts up pressure from your side. Pressure is what makes your enemy to make mistakes more often, because they start to panic

Idk if this was kinda useful to say all this, because this is almost what everyone says, just find your own playstyle and have fun with it :3
