How is Canary's wakeup game?

Hi. I'm new to fighting games, but understand the concept of wakeups I think.

I noticed that some characters like super girl are invincible when they do their special moves, so I can't always go for them while they're down.

I noticed though that besides parrying, there's nothing I can do if an enemy is continuing to pressure me after knocking me down. Any other move I do they knock me out of.

Anything you guys know for Canary that can help?

I struggle with this... played few games yesterday and literally could not wake up out of the corner!!

Most characters don't have a fully invincible wakeup, you can use delayed wakeup (hold L2) and/or block then pushblock (Forward + R2) their mixup.

Yeah but you're already knocked down. Trying to throw some options out there.
We could honestly go round in circles about this. Her wake up game, in short, is bad. Yes you could throw out the party but only after a bit of conditioning with DF3 once people try to stuff it.

Canary's wakeup is semi-invincible so it can get stuffed. But since there are different timings to doing a wakeup attack, you can delay the df3/db3 to avoid your opponent's attempt at stuffing it. Or you can wakeup with bf2 if they're trying to stuff df3/db3.
