NEEDs to have some form of real pressure if she's a rushdown character. How about allowing her to cancel normal moves into a "single" drive move that has +1 on block? I'm talking about JUST one drive at the END of a combo string(5A>2B>6D for example). if she did more than one drive move in a combo you would get her usual reloading animation. this would allow her to actually fight without having to always predict what the opponent is going to do. some of the single drives could be +1 on block and others could give -3(2D) or -8(j.4D) depending on which one is used. it would make her more tricky and strategic because your opponent would have to guess IF you're going to end the combos you do with just one drive move and you'd still have to use a bit of risky play to avoid being predictable. being able to jump cancel some drives(at specific frames) would shake things up as well.

1. the auto laser from her steins should still come out even if she blocks a move. as it is right now it's too easy to get out of her pressure. The laser hit could also use a little more block stun.
2. her j.B needs a bigger hit box.
3. she needs the ability to do wrath of the heavens in the air.

earthbind(anti-projectile) doesn't really do much to deter opponents from using projectiles(except hazama). i think something like this would help:
whenever an opponent throws a projectile that hakumen cuts an earthbind will form(up to 3 orbs onscreen are possible). if it is left untouched by another projectile it will dissapear as normal. if it is touched by another of the opponent's projectiles, it will reset it's duration time on the screen and go up a level(up to level 4). it would remain the same size, but in the middle of the orb you'd see a japanese number in kanji for each level. also, each level would make the orb a different color. here's how they would go.
level 0 - color black(ordinary). normal BBCS properties
level 1 - color yellow(gravity). when orb duration ends it explodes into pieces in all directions. if opponent is hit(unguarded)opponent loses the ability to jump for 6 game seconds.
level 2 - color green(amnesia). when orb duration ends it explodes into pieces in all directions. if opponent is hit(unguarded) opponent loses ability to use special, drive and distortion attacks for 8 game seconds.
level 3 - color purple(mystified).when orb duration ends it explodes into pieces in all directions. if opponent is hit(unguarded) opponents directional controls(up,down,left and right)are reversed for 10 game seconds.
level 4 - color white(suspension). when orb duration ends it explodes into pieces in all directions. if opponent is hit(this level is unblockable)opponent's overall movement is 20% slower for 12 game seconds.
earthbind explosion takes off one guard primer. blast radius is twice the size of earthbind orb.
this would really slow down the projectile use. the current one doesn't do much.
