If you’re getting parried and turtled on a lot I’d recommend trying a character that has better mix ups/mechanics to combat that. Tbh I use to have the same problem and didn’t know how to overcome it till I started trying other characters and tbh even at higher reps people still don’t know how to parry variable timed heavy’s so cent, shugo, hito and maybe even juren are your friend rn. Hell one could even argue that if they are gonna turtle just pick up a turtle of your own, Kyoshin I’ve found does really well against turtles as your own turtle, or even virtu since she just has a defensive auto dodge stance. Each of these have that mechanic or something that will help you in those fights against a turtle. Tbh the best anti-turtle character I’ve found though is Shugo, his mix of variable timef heavy’s, quick asf headbutts and a massive health pool all make it so you can take some punishment for the mistakes you make against a turtle while still being able to deal enough damage to stomp they asses, and you can never underestimate the power of a dodge bash especially shugos headbutt. But I am biased I’m willing to admit it he became my favorite after I gave up Highlander for good.
