I have seen the varied opinions on how hard certain characters are, and I wanted to understand the logic for a certain character archetype.

Stance overlords. Xiaoyu, Yoshimitsu, Hwoarang, etc. Characters with lots of moves who are annoying to fight. The only one of these characters I've played online is Yoshimitsu and I found him really hard to learn what to use, and I mainly won off of whiff punishing with df2 into combos.

However, I can also admit that he's objectively easier than Devil Jin and Heihachi, I'm just more familiar with Mishimas. So to people who are more familiar with these types of characters, how hard are they at each level?

I'm trying to get iws2 consistent on DVJ and I have no clue how to even do it from neutral or what specifically triggers it. I turned on input display and tried doing QCB2, I gathered I can't be pressing db and 2 at the same time, but the timing on b2 confused me. I presumed it'd be a just frame b+2 on the same frame, but I hit multiple just frames that didn't do ws2 and multiple non just frames that did do ws2, so I'm confused.

I've been climbing back up the ranksagain and am struggling in TE, now this feels very similar to when I was stuck in Bushin last season, and when I reached TK, the game became far more enjoyable and even a bit easier. As soon as I reached TK, I was getting hit by less constant 50/50s, people were actually trying to hit me with pokes and spacing, doing lots of movement and as a Mishima player, I liked that a lot. Is it likely the same thing will happen when I reach TG?

Adam is my favourite of the two brothers, but I absolute hate Season 3, Episode 1, that 8 YEAR OLD BITCH keeping Adam from Emma, and also Adam just not telling Emma about the photos (as in saying, 'hey, your sister's sending me raunchy photos without my consent'). Adam really is stupid in that episode, but everything else is working against him too.

I'm trying to get Devil Jin to Tekken God, after a painful climb to reach Emporer, I realised I physically have no clue how to safely use him. Currently all I seem to be able to do is. DB2 into WS1 into Mourning Crow (3 opportunities to fail) or DF1 string when in the neutral. And if I get a knockdown, risk my life going for wavu into Hellsweep or Samsara. I used to be able to do all sorts of other stuff, 3 1 4 counterhit, KBD into Shackle, KBD into Heat Smash, 1+2, u4 or b3 reads, mix in df2 to try and sneak a CH, SS2, now it feels like everything gets blocked. Any moves I need to add to my kit, I was thinking about using b1+2 and uf3 more since they're safe mids, but I already use enough mids.
