Other tactics

With 236AB being +6 and dog ex moves being really fast and hitting for more hits you can go for more creative ways of opening your opponent up.

Fully take advantage of the frame advantage to have true strings as mix ups.

You can also leave gaps in your pressure or make yourself seem unsafe and punish with Koromaru. Since the dog can force your opponent to block many hits you can hang back and use diarama to maintain your health.
