You keep mashing during Miazaki's combos and you keep getting hit for it. He did next to no resets on you (though he did drop one chain a lot) apart from with Band near the start and those were both air grab resets. Don't mash without reason.
Trying to mash a reversal instead of just blocking. Sounded like a great idea a month ago...it's not working. I need to just block instead. Getting reset is by far my weakest point of the game, so I think he did lay off of resets for this set.
For the Duckator combo, have you tried doing j.LP, j.HK, Bypass? This should do more damage and it gives you a bit more time to compose yourself for the ADC, j.MP (which I noticed you dropped a bit, do it earlier).
Huh, never even considered using that. And yes, there are times I drop that ADC > j.MP. That may help.
You use Bella's j.MK a lot in neutral and I'm not sure why. j.LK is faster, has roughly the same (perhaps even better) range and you are more likely to be able to convert off of it by canceling to j.HK. Use j.LK instead of j.MK as an air to air basically (it is also good for cross ups). Use j.MP/j.HK for jumping in on a grounded opponent.
Another case of 'this seems like a great idea'. I thought it was a good jumping poke.
Run stop your blockstrings and try to hitconfirm the cr.LK, cr.MP, if they block it then either use sweep, RS or just RS (mix it up).
These are notes I have on Bella, notes I just read yesterday morning, but I am currently really struggling with her. Nothing happens with her without me having to think about it first. I need to focus more time on her to just get more comfortable with her options.
You barely ever call lock n load, call it when you want to approach, are doing a block string (it will stop them from pressing buttons) or to punish their assists. You didn't use it much early on but this got better over time.
This is something I am actually improving on. I have been working on this a lot in casual sets, and in the last couple matches it did work.
You should be using f.HP to punish long range whiffs and poor assist calls, never use it when the opponent is really close to you.
Another case of me needing more time with Bella.
You can punish Battle butt on block with a crouching light. Just mentioning this since you missed the punish quite a lot (you missed punishes on quite a few things actually, e.g. Big Band Tag).
This was a lack of confidence throughout the set to go after punishes after being too slow early on.
Also, vs BB you can do instant overheads and they will catch him crouching (j.LP, j.HP, j.HK is what I use for Val, j.LP/LK, j.MP, j.HK for Bella).
Something else I would have never thought of. But it makes sense, because of his size.
I'm trying to figure out what lineup is better: Val/Bella or Bella/Val. I was expecting to be shutout, so the 4 wins felt really good. There were plenty of mistakes, but I saw slightly fewer mistakes. A couple mistakes are slowly disappearing too.
