So hisako has this thing where she can essentially do an infinite corner combo for maximum damage output, any tips on how to fight back?
Also, what can be done against eyedol players who are constantly jumping? Apparently DPās and AAās donāt always work.
Infinite corner combo? Do you have a video where we can see what you are talking about?
Yeah, Iāll have to record and upload it first so stay tuned. (Although itās not really an āinfiniteā because she drops it but it seems like it still.)
Without looking at it, this sounds like getting hit into resets.

May as well be an infinite with Hisako, lol

Just mash DP. Or backdash, depending on the character.

-shrug- If Hisako just wants to reset you for days, it will work 100% of the time.
If you play a character whoās jump arc is fast enough that she cannot hit you with a TK ORZ reset, then Hisako is mostly forced to go for command grab/meaty low resets, which lose to most charactersā backdashes. If you have a DP, then you always have to option to mash it to prevent being reset. Even metered reversals which freeze the screen will tend to stop Hisako resets, as sheās not able to counter cancel most of her favorite reset options.
For you specifically, Kim is hosed when Hisako wants to reset. Glacius is not.

Fantastic FT10 (and then FT whatever 
) set between myself and @llPaulBll:
If you were wondering, this is the set @BigBadAndy was requesting you to do an analysis on @Infilament. I know there are definitely some adjustments Iād make if I were to do it again (countering jump-ins, checking post-throw tech buttons, etc), so if youāre inclined Iām sure thereās a lot to learn and improve on here. As always, your call

And another good FT10, this time with UA Wheels:
Ton of stuff Iād adjust for the future on this one, so feel free to offer thoughts.
EDIT: As a note, was mashing the heck out of counter on most of that cr.MP pressure. Not really sure why, but couldnāt seem to hit the window quick enough most of the time - think it mightāve been an online thing.

Why didnāt you just block?
Because continually holding +3 pressure is a great way to get hit eventually. Iād prefer Gargos to have to go for riskier/more punishable options on offense than to sit in my face spamming cr.MP.
I wound up blocking it a crap ton (if I mash counter and donāt get it, itās because Iām stuck in blockstun). But thatās really not my preference, and he shouldnāt have been able to get away with that kind of pressure as much as he did.
The way see it. Gargos DOES have to take Risks regardless of a +3 on block button. If he spams it, you can hold it and react to what he does next. His best option is pressing the button continuously or giving up his turn. If He cancel It into any special move He is getting punished. If He cancels it into command grab you Can react and punish.
With other characters that have more potent pressure up close i can see why youād do that, but gargos up close options seem very limited to me. I could see hisako blocking it out then reacting to his next move. Counter is a good move but Iād use it when i got my opponent comfortable pressing that button.
Ah. Therein lies the rub - I have old man reactions and am largely incapable of reacting to any form of command grab.
I do agree though that I should have held more of his pressure when minions were out though - should force him to go for the grabs instead of trying to read when exactly the button would come out.

I canāt anything about that lol my reactions need work aswell.
I guess that means I have old man reactions as well, because Iām free to all command grabs

Itād be easy to react to command grab if you could just flinch at forward motion, but because forward motion might also mean psycho crusher, and neither of them have a gap where you can fit in a normal, that makes it hard.
Itās easy to think that a character āhas to take risksā at +3 because each thing he does has a counter, but itās not the full story. You have to weigh the outcomes of these risks. For example, if the defender chooses to ādo nothingā (ie, keep blocking), heās a lot worse off than if the +3 character chooses to stop pressuring, because one of them is a lot riskier than the other. Similarly, if the defender chooses to reversal DP/parry, he is opening himself up to punishment when he is wrong. But unlike the offense, the onus is on him to take the risk to get out of the pressure.
So yeah, you can DP the normal or jump the command grab, but every time youāre wrong, you get hurt. By comparison, many of the times Gargos is wrong (ie, he stops to bait an escape), he doesnāt get hurt.

Set with a Riptor that I really enjoyed. He really played the frame trap game that Riptor has but that you rarely see. 
As always, feedback welcome
