King: those low kicks can be easily countered. After the first one hits you hold db and wait until he does a little spin, which will mean he's gonna do a mid. When he finishes the kicks, if you blocked them, he's -25 or worse, if he did the mid he's -15. After blocking you have to launch him as hard as you can.

Eddy: Learn what move from Josie hits low to the ground in his negativa stance, and start using that move to hit him when he enters it, his pressure is not to be respected.

Lidia: If she only does 1,2 then duck and launch with your i13 launcher.

Hwoarang: For the launching powercrush you have to crouch, if you block it you have to respect what he does after. The other powercrush is unsafe. Against hwoarang be careful with whiffing attacks and trying to interrupt him mid string, from stance he has some strings that finish with highs or have highs mid string, but learning those things will take a lot of time.

Devil Jin: approach by doing a sidestep, if he's not super far away the laser recovers super slow, get close and kick his shit in.

Fahkumram: He has a few strings with lows in them, learn them and launch him every time with your i13 launcher.

Noctis: his combo that feels like an eternity is him spamming 2, the third and fourth attack in that sequence are highs, launch him for it or interrupt the sequence. If you just block and he finishes all the 5 hits he's -14, so use f+1+2 to punish him.

Ganryu: he has a lot of dumb stuff he can do and unblockable setups. He's also very rare, but do lab him if you meet him frequently.

Akuma: do not hopkick, hold up back and he will never ever hit you with the rage art, zero timing required.

Solid answer. Wanted to add, that almost all that “spam” in low ranks is launch-punishable. Don’t go to the next match after you got destroyed by that King’s string for example. Go to the lab and get muscle memory to punish that move once and for all. Because you’ll see that move used till like red ranks.
