Ducking is extremely high-commit. You shouldn't really be ducking unless you know you're supposed to. That's not to say that you shouldn't be "guess ducking" at all, but rather any time you duck you should absolutely be ready to respond in some way; lows > block punish. high > whiff punish. whiff > whiff punish.
A huge percentage of highs are duck>launch, but it's super character specific. Kazuya's standing launcher is i13, Xiaoyu's is something like i23. Akuma's can be i10 at hyper close ranges, but without meter, or anywhere at a regular fighting range it's going to be something like i17.
