As shown in the wrongblock video, Reimu TK j6A is not a string that is universally applicable and can be beaten by using the wrongblock "feature" in SWR.

After playing around in training mode a bit Xenozip came up with this improved string which works in several situations.

In the first loop, the dummy is set to block high. Wrongblocking Reimu 2A spaces her perfectly for 6A 5B 236B j2B. The 236B j2B is not airtight, but it will give you the frame advantage to continue pressure and remove more orbs than a simple TK j6A string.

In the second loop, the dummy is set to block low. This allows the 6A in the string to get the perfect distance for 236B to give you the frames needed to go into j2B, since the opponent is crouching out of respect for the TK j6A. Since the dummy wrongblocks j2A, it knocks off an extra orb which allows the following j2B to guard crush.

The last loop of the string is when everything is blocked perfectly. In this scenario Reimu has to be slightly spaced away from the opponent or else 236B will materialize behind them. You can see that the string still removes four orbs on both sides.

Switching this string up with TK j6A is required so the opponent doesn't simply HJ8 out every time. Staggering your 5A's into a 6A will also prevent this, as well as switching up 2A into other options besides 6A every time.

In addition to that, switching up to TK j2A is required after the 236B because there's another graze point after that, and TK j2A will beat escape options (dash/HJ/chickenblock).
