This shows what I meant by dancing and not using breakers. It's just best not to land in combos to begin with if possible. I know a lot of people use dash > block extensively. I believe it has it's place here and there, but I find best to stay still, move if I have to, and avoid things using jumps unless they serve a specific immediate purpose of attack or evade. I'm an advancing counter-striker. Provoke, Evade, Attack. Notice how he was dash blocking. For me that only let me predict his moves, timing and range. It's just another way of moving around less erratically, I find it's just more effort without the gain. That's just my opinion though. For characters like smoke or mileena I have to dash and block that just to be safe. There's quite a bit of baiting with little pokes as well to mix up my intent. Momentum carries great advantages, I try to keep mine going and make it feel akward as possible for the opponent.
