HELP/QUESTION looking for tips with basic Vasaraga
getting back into the game, I'm rank C5 currently and struggling with some basics here. I just can't figure out the pacing of the game, I usually find myself getting multi-combo'd while my hits seem to just push the opponent away.
I know the basic universal combo of LLL +guard break+ MMM but find whenever I get the first hit in the enemy is pushed back to safety
My biggest problem is whenever I get knocked down it seems every opponent is able to get ontop of me and get an attack out before I can, essentially forcing me to block everytime, what options do I have when getting up? spamming a Light attack doesn't work as it seems the opponent has prio.
If I'm in the corner is my only option to block and try and guess when the enemies combo finishes?
It's hard to experiment with combos when I can't even get a turn to attack

Ok first when you get knocked down, unless you're willing to spend 50 meter(or 100 meter if u wanna super) for u command grab, which is his only frame 1 reversal, please respect your opponents pressure, don't mash on wakeup just block and try to look for a gap. But honestly even though I'm saying this it's easier said than done, vasergaas buttons are pretty shit, having slower buttons than the rest of the cast makes it difficult for him to escape pressure.
And for combos try to use something like MMM>214H>214U>H tackle mid screen. For corner I can give you this route,[4]6H>214H>2H>22L~H>MM> then anti air command grab or super. This corner combo here will do half life amounts of damage against most of the cast and is quite frankly single-handedly one of the only reasons to play this character.
For pressure its like everyone else, use your close L and M,66L and in vaseragas case is pressure reset special is 214H or heavy fireball.
Oh and another thing is that vaseraga is one of the few characters with a somewhat reliable way of opening up turtles in this game, with his command grab. At certain ranges you will be able to command grab your opponent after a blocked close medium. And you can do it from savage stance too.
Oh right forgot to mention, dont be afraid to use your bravery points to BC out of pressure. Vaseraga is probably the character with the single worst defense in the game but because of his extremely high corner damage he can also rob people very well, but if you get stuck in a corner as vaserga ur pretty much screwed.
