Beginner at the game and want to use oni

I just got this game and I’m maining oni. I know all the combos but when I play online I get bodied by People who just mash cr lp and I can’t find a way to land a hit. any tips or advice

I’d recommend using your fireballs to get them blocking some, the medium stomp to get over it, maybe an ex slash to get in fast.

If they’ve got you cornered, you need to hope they go for something big, something to leave them open, then do a heavy or EX DP.

check out the newbie saikyo dojo for help your problem is pretty generic and their are tons of people that can help you there. mashed jabs lose to tic throws and frame traps and i belive there is an explanation there
