I've been practicing with Poe for a week or two now, but I've hit a major plateau with my success. I've learned her moves (what buttons do what), her safety (what is generally safe/unsafe), and the majority of her combos listed here in this SA (there's a few of them that I still struggle to pull off). Despite all this, I don't know what I'm doing when I step into the ring and actually try to fight.
*How* should I play her? Better yet, how do I win with her? I know how to execute the moves, but my mixups and pressure are terrible. I find myself constantly at a loss for what do to, then default to a DNS B:4 only to end up getting owned when I go in. This usually occurs because I either step straight into the move I'm trying to whiff punish, or because my opponent sidesteps me and lays me out.
I especially struggle against characters with a keep away game such as Ivy, Astaroth, Xiba, Raphael, and Nightmare. I'm looking for someone who will sit down with me and run me through the thought processes of playing her properly, while showing me a few tricks along the way. I'm on XBL; my GT is in my signature down below.
When I play my main, Leixia, I have a distinct flow to my options. "I landed move X, now I will choose between Y and Z depending on what I think will be most likely to hit. Move Y/Z did/didn't work, now here's what I'll do..."
When I play Poe, I lack this feeling, leaving me confused and often predictable.
Help of any kind is much appreciated. :D
