Lora is a strong Baiken player who has made TNS top 8 before. I had the opportunity to play a set against them and even though the set doesn't look that bad going by round count, I ended up being flustered by how to approach the matchup.

A couple things I need to work on include not autopiloting into Midare on a successful dodge. My reactions aren't the best so I find it difficult choose the optimal option every time. Part of this will probably include looking at what resources the opponent has on deck when I'm attempting to use Spin.

As a followup to this thought there were several times when I had a confirm into Wild Assault on deck and simply didn't convert. Part of it is where I place value on WA based off of how I've used it and part of it is I'm not using it consistently enough to get in the habit of using it to rack up conversions. I need to get in the habit of just using it more to better grasp when the best times to use it are. I also fumbled some WA followups so short-term muscle memory pushed into using 5D as a gimmick from WA. It's a weak gimmick and should be be avoided.

Second, I need to narrow my neutral options - H Kabari and 2H are scary tools at longer ranges, but fS is a threat when I close the distance. I should be trying to keep my feet planted and challenge with 6P, 2S, and 2D or airdashing on grounded pokes rather than trying to play cat and mouse with jD. I got counterhit needlessly several times.

Third, sometimes I just need to dashblock. I get tagged by Kabari more times than I should just by running in and not dashblocking. Sometimes it's the simplest things that you forget.
