Haven't put in the time or reflection to really better myself in this game, so I should start working on that so I can actually be a consistently competent player in upper skill ranges.

Better understand command grabs
Actually use pummel horse and kanchou
Improve timing on combos
Learn reversals
Don't always hustle rocks
Watch someone who can actually play her
Stop being unsafe
Don't be scared of getting close
Item drop is a move, should learn it

Someday I'll pick her
She can fight without her head
Don't accidently throw her head
Use dp more often, pretty useful for getting around
Sandwiches
Stop making errors with head
Not untouchable
TIMING

Pick her in practice too, try to learn her, like Parasol

Use servant summons
Dp isn't like other dp's
No, she doesn't have a double jump

Play around with other assists to find one that's good for me
Not the best start to see whats wrong with my gameplay, but hopefully I keep using this and see some kind of imrovement. Advice would be nice if someone had any to offer.​
