An inquiring mind wants to know.

This will probably be left unanswered but what the heck.

1. How do you beat an enemy that is a blocking pansy?
Me and my friend have been playing on Netplay for some time and right now I am not having an overwhelming victory over my friend like when we played SWR. I think its not because my skills in this game have rusted but mainly because that friend of mine is a blocking pansy! He always cowers in a corner like a pansy waiting for me to deplete my spirit orbs when I use skills or use bullets and then he will bullet spam me like crazy. When I do the standard dial A combo (5AAAA), he will block all that then when I am done he will counter with his own dial A combo. Well, I can beat him but not as much and overwhelming as before during SWR. Usually, when I don’t react to his cheap pansy tactic he will try to get near me and melee attack, which would seem like a good opportunity to attack him but if he sees that I’m gonna take him head on, he will stop whatever he was planning to do and block like a pansy again. Well, I can take him on with some skills that can catch him off guard like Tenshi’s Six Earthquakes -Signs- alt. skill, Utsuho’s Hell Geyser alt. skill, and Sakuya’s Perfect Maid alt. skill but then not all characters have this surprise attack skills. Its just flat out annoying, makes the match long and drawn out, and I don’t like the fact that I lost the match because of a cheap tactic. Oh yeah, he still can’t beat me when I use Patchouli. Even if he uses that cowardly tactic.

2. How do I use Cirno’s Freeze Sign [Perfect Freeze] effectively?
This is one of Cirno’s spell cards that I got earlier than her other cards. I can’t seem to get a high damage output from it. I only get around 800+ damage from it. SWR Wiki says that this has high damage potential. How do I maximize the damage that it can inflict and when is the perfect time to use it? If I can’t use Perfect Freeze well, I will just switch with a different spell card. (I’m still lacking 1 spell card for Cirno.)

3. How do I pull off Youmu’s Enlightenment Sword [Slash of Cleansing Six Sins] effectively?
Yes, I know that it is a melee reversal spell card. The parry only last for a short time which makes timing it with your opponent’s melee attack a bit tricky. I have only pulled it off once when I was fighting Cirno on Arcade Mode. (Lunatic Mode) I would switch it with another spell card but the insanely high damage is so hard to pass up.

Edit:
About question #3, after a few more plays in Arcade Mode (Lunatic), I can pull off Enlightenment Sword [Slash of Cleansing Six Sins] more than once but the timing is still tricky. This spell card is more situational in use. Probably best used when you are backed into a corner being pummeled by a 5AAAA or when your opponent uses a 66A/B/C. (Using this spell card on Reisen in Arcade Mode is easily pulled off because she often uses 66A when you are in the corner.) Obsessor  [Slash of Eternity] and Enlightened Sword [Rise From Delusion] still are my offensive spell cards for Youmu. I still welcome any suggestions for pulling off Enlightenment Sword [Slash of Cleansing Six Sins] effectively.
